Totally tell they were trying to cut out Jeff Garlin from every shot in this episode. Even using old footage. The show was good while it lasted. I’m out. Thanks for 8 good seasons at least.
What was supposed to be more of a special episode (wedding, 200th episode) turned out to be a bit of a mess with Jeff Garlin not there, the stand in's didn't look like him, imposing his face on a stand-in looked creepy, and when the stand-in goes to hug Erica and say something like "my little Peanut" sounded like horrible robotic computer voice. They should have at least grabbed old audio from some other episode where he was having a heart to heart with her and used it or piece separate words together to make the line.

Kudos to the writers and crew for working around the whole "Missing Murray" problem in this episode. It's somehow seems fitting that an 80's inspired sitcom has to deal with losing a main cast member in its final seasons. The reused footage, body doubles, and hilarious face swap shop were on point, turning an obvious obstacle into more laughs. Well done!
