The primary arc -- Jenna's imaginary fling with another boy -- was clever but in a show known for brilliant, sometimes clever will not cut it.
What caught my attention -- and nudged me to review the single episode -- was the way the writers introduced a smaller arc at the end -- the Asian arc -- and had me on the floor laughing.
This is something you do not see very often, but the juxtaposition worked a treat.
The show not only has great writers and actors, and does things with under-age characters that would have landed you in jail during the age of Dick Van Dyke, but the handling of the Asian stereotype is the best I have seen, and something mainstream movies have missed completely.
Recommend.
