10. That’s An Adventure

While Sara Bareilles’ Gravity, often used to tie together Jeff & Annie, won’t feature here as it’s not an original song, her guest appearance in That’s An Adventure as The Balloon Guide definitely counts.

Intro To Felt Surrogacy is in many ways a quintessentially Season Four episode. It’s a decent high concept, but one they don’t fully commit to nor execute as well as they should. There’s also the fact that Pierce is an add on, and the emotional impact of the ending plays it too close to ironic and too close to genuine to mean anything.

The song, at least, is golden though. Sang by the puppet versions of the study group, it’s great to see the mix of the tone deaf stylings of Jeff & Britta mixed with Annie’s decent stage school voice and Troy & Shirley’s genuine musical talent.

Bareilles keeps a handle on things too, and the theatrical nature of the song plays perfectly into the skills she’d go on to display in writing Waitress. It’s an easy, free flowing song that perfectly fits the episode’s opening, and while it’s not one of their best episodes, it’s one of their best songs.
