The Chair, The Dream, and You. Allen swoops in this week with Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish, and he's.... not really all that pleased with it, mostly because he finds the show too much reliant on just weird and illogical decisions driving the plot. And that's that. See you again next week. -Stig Høgset.
