Agree. Man those scenes with Brian and his mom always gets me a lil' misty. The lady that plays his mom is one of the best actresses on that show IMHO. It's been a good run this season so far. I know you Direct TVers have seen it already, but it's as good as ever now.
I saw Brian Williams yesterday at Whole Foods and yelled out "Smash!" and then immediately felt like an idiot, after realizing that Smash is not a real person.
