"At the end when Andy and Barney sing the song, Barney looks like he really is sad, about his friends growing older. Andy sypathizes but Barney doesn't look happy at all. I wonder if he was really sad or just good acting. It is the best part of the episode." - John from California

"I agree with the sentiments of the posters below. Excellent show. (One complaint: I find it somewhat hard to believe that Andy and Sharon cannot remember the details of the fight that separated them in high school--until it surfaces again.)" - John Robertson from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
