I hope Swoozie and Helen aren't just in the pilot. They haven't done much, but I LOVE them. Straight out of Roald Dahl (but the eccentric adults, not the evil ones).
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Also enjoying PD immensely. There have been a few laugh out loud moments (the bit about the Chow's rep. being 'racial profiling,' for example), but more importantly, it has me grinning and genuinely happy.

Anybody else think PD is a show Jilli just must see ASAP?
Also, what Anne said.
I'm scared to think about how the ratings are going to be though.

BRILLIANT use of the whole synchronized swimming thing.

We better get more of the aunts. They ROCK!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Loved it!!! The aunts got short shrift in the beginning, but they soon got their screentime and I loved them! I had just assumed that they were going to be the evil oppressive aunts that Chuck escapes from happily and we'd never see them again.
Lee Pace is adorable! (as to be expected) and so was Chuck. Love the whole Amelie-esque vibe.
more importantly, it has me grinning and genuinely happy.
So much this.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yeah, that's about it. I just enjoyed the heck out if it.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Yeah, I really enjoyed it too! The hand-holding bit and the kissing monkeys were ridiculously adorable. I love both Lee Pace and Anna Friel. So far it's got just the right combination of cute and funny and morbid.
I didn't recognize either of the aunts until they opened the door to their house, but at that moment my housemate and I simultaneously exclaimed "Swoosie Kurtz!" / "Ellen Greene!"

I fell asleep during The New Hour and missed the first half hour of PD. The second half was nice.
