When the episode starts with a "Previously on..." bit, my first instinct is to skip through it until I get to the actual episode. This episode surprised me, in that I didn't recognize any of the "Previous" content. It was a clever way to start the show, and the closest comparison I could think of was Community's "Paradigm of Human Memory" episode, that was a clip show with all new, never been seen clips. A.P. Bio did this same thing in a way, while still offering a fast paced, funny story, that has a climactic moment that had me dying laughing.

Desperate Housewives meets A.P. Bio

Different Format and Still Hilarious

At the beginning I was honestly confused, as I had no idea what was going on when they were showing "Previously On A. P. Bio" and I had never seen anything that was being shown. I personally hadn't seen this kind of format before in a television show, so it took me a minute to realize the greatness of this episode. I'm glad I kept watching. It was so well-written and funny. I had to rewind one scene in particular because it was so hilarious. Well done cast and crew!
Finally a refreshing take on tv comedy

Innovative comedy episode!

Usually whenever I see a "Previously on..." at the beginning of any show, if I'm all caught up, I skip it. AP Bio usually has one in done episodes, so it seemed weird. I love material that takes the conventions of network TV and plays around with them. Like the Season 2 episode "Wednesday Morning, 8am" this one is experimenting with storytelling by quickly cutting from scene to scene, utilizing the entire cast and even guys we hardly see enough of, like Dave & the Coach. I think it's genius & if there was any justice, it would have won an Emmy.
Terrible
