Perhaps, but Titus's story was finally interwoven with Kimmy's, which was a major improvement. Plus, the gags were flying at a mile a minute in this episode.
And, we got another blink-and-you-missed-it glimpse of Kimmy's life in the bunker with her "Excuse me I have to use the filth bucket, er, powder room" line.

Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but US sitcoms really do go to the suave-English-chap-who's-obviously-going-to-turn-out-to-be-a-cad well an awful lot. Although I suppose this chap did at least have something that vaguely approximated an actual variety of English accent which is better than normal.
Also, I know having a Season 1 Jaime Lannister type mane of hair is visual shorthand for being rich and powerful and a scumbag, but this one was teetering over the edge into just being a mullet.

But he's not English, he's from Connectcut.

Although the actor, Adam Campbell, is actually from Bath, that should be pointed out. If his accent sounds off maybe that's on purpose ("Oh, no, I'm from Connecticut"), or the result of living in America with his American wife.

Oh, right, I need to pay more attention. I withdraw my comments.
Except for the mullet thing.

Yeah, that was pretty much a mullet. We can all disapprove of the hair.

Well jeepers, I guess everybody else's hair just looks great when they get off their blimps.

"Can't the world be my noodles and butter?"
I love that Titus' laptop is cardboard. So many jokes just whiz by in this show.
And Kimmy's outfit! Did you catch that the bracelet is a soup can dipped in glitter? She definitely owes him brunch.

My favorite lines:
"Lumiere! Belle!" "Beyonce."
"Kimmy; the elevator." "Jacqueline; the refrigerator."
"Maybe Gallagher?"
"Champagne please, no ice."
"Why do robots keep getting in the way of my dreams?"
"You were built by children?"

This was probably my least favorite episode of the whole run - it felt a little bit like one of those mid-series 30 Rock episodes when they leaned too hard on the Zany and tried to cram too much into every episode. BUT at the same time, the aforementioned 2090 joke is also my favorite one-liner of the entire series.

"You're not too big to give your father a firm, business-like handshake."
I liked Logan's list of Beekman-named things:
"Beekman Park? The Beekman Library? The Beekman Institute for Art That Actually Looks Like Something?
...
Beekman Place? The Beekman Factory Fire? Beekman's Disease?"

Oh, and Hollywood, quit trying to get Adam Campbell over as Amazing British Guy. He's all right, a B-plus player. He's never going to be Pierce Brosnan, a'ight?
