"A musical montage demonstrates the pain that each member of the group is attempting to overcome. The �winner� of March Madness lovingly attaches her victory prize to a photo of her absent loved ones. Flowers are left at a grave before the frustrated survivor kicks the tombstone. A widower faces the prospect of an empty bed. And the most heartbreaking grief is demonstrated in subtle fashion. Go On�s designated �creepy guy� sits alone in a Lamaze class as the other expectant parents prepare for the births of their children. The sequence requires only five seconds yet once the intent is known, it is a devastating backstory. How many sitcoms can you name that are capable of such depth?"
