Welcome back MA Larson. We missed you. Anyway, it looks like he took cues from the MLP episode he wrote "It's About Time". Anyway, it's off at times, but it's still good. Harold did get some funny moments, and he got better near the end. Russell's the star though. He's definitely a guy to feel for when he sees that his day is repeating. The plot avoids being repetitive when Russell tries to fix things up, and spends more time with the other pets, which is pretty cool. I like the flashback of him and the pets as kids. There is a nice moral on making the most of your day. I give it 9.3/10.

Wow, what can I say, this episode was gold~ The flashback scene for the episode opener was interesting, there were no boring human sub-plots, the guest pet was really cool, the concept taken from the movie 'Groundhog Day' really worked well here, we see all the pets doing everything, this was a Russell episode (okay, not exactly a positive, but he's my favorite character), and we get to see Russell's version of 'Dance Like You Know You Can' so it's a nice throwback to another great episode. This episode was chock full of positives! I'd rather not bother with every detail on how great this episde was, it's better you just see it for yourself~

We also find out that Russell was the second-to-last pet to join the day camp. I had no idea until now that most of the pets have been around the pet shop for years. Considering Mrs. Twombly's hair color in the flashback, the pets must be older than I thought... Now this is not a negative nor a nitpick, but rather something confusing: it's known that hedgehogs have short life expectancies (5-7ish years) so even if you assume the flashback scene took place 5 years in the past, it seems a little odd that Mrs. Twombly's hair would have such a short time to turn gray.

But whatever, I think it's unnecessary to look too deep into something unimportant in an otherwise great episode. Like I said, this episode had everything I could possibly want in an episode and I couldn't ask for better~ This is an episode I can actually watch again and again. I give it a 10/10.

Two notes:

1. Blythe's hairstyle in this episode is like the one she had in "Some Assistance Required". I like her outfit here.

2. Harold is voiced by Peter New. This guy has talent.

I loved this episode. The flashback at the beginning was nice, Mrs. T had dark hair back than, I wonder how long was this flashback. It was a very cute flashback.

The episode was hilarious, I loved the bit with the balloon and the ice cream truck, the little girl is adorable, we keep seeing that over and over again to let us know what day it is.

Harold was a likable character, I thought Russell was a little rough with him at the beginning, he means well, he is not trying to cause trouble.

I loved Blythe's look in this episode, and the nature of the episode of each day over looping does make it so there can't be no subplot. Anyone else thought Blythe wearing the same outfit at the end, made no sense the time loop was broken.

And Russell he was hilarious going crazy, and than taking advantage of the time loop, it was sad when he realized he won't be seeing Harold again.

And credit to the episode that this is canon and not a dream, like other series might do.

This episode gets a 9 / 10, bring on the finale.

Well, I admit that it is nice to have Larson back writing an episode for this series (probably just this once, too... Sadly, to some people, I'm sure), but it's no God Tier material , like I bet anyone still watching this show (with overly high expectations, of course...) was expecting of him. But I did enjoy it enough to rank it as another successful High Tier effort for Season 3 and a nice step up from last week, without saying too much that hasn't been repeated already. Without saying too much, This is definitely one to see for yourself - and judge accordingly.

With that flashback, I wonder if we'll see more of the pets and their respective first days at Littlest Pet Shop.

Maybe when Hasbro wants launch a spin-off toy line.

I may be wrong about this, but I suspect that the voice and mannerisms of this week's guest pet, Harold Winston, were meant to mimic Cheers' resident know-it-all Cliff Clavin, played by Pixar's good luck charm John Ratzenberger.
