I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, at least that made her living in the hotel make sense. And, in a way, the living in the basement - being all romantic and rejecting her family's money and the luxury it buys.

Does Ugly Betty go in here or in Comedy?

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I suppose it could go either way, -t, but I would guess here since the examples for comedy were all sitcoms. However, I haven't been in Comedy, so I'm not sure.

I kind of like this setup. I may be getting to be too attached to our little Wilbur here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Aw. Wilbur.

Does Ugly Betty go in here or in Comedy?

I couldn't decide last night, so I didn't post. It seems more comedy than here to me though.

Yeah. I've had hourlong=drama drilled into me, but it plays more like a comedy.

Anyway, all I wanted to say abot it was: Doctor Fish! Right after we talked about them! Pretty soon after, anyway.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I guess this is where we talk about ER?

I was disappointed in the HPV vaccine storyline last night. When Sarah wanted it, I can see the initial "You're not having sex, are you?" reaction as being realistic, but once it got to the "No, I'm not having sex, I just want protection for when I do have sex later on," point, the reaction of the doctors really should have been along the lines of, "Of course. Smart girl," rather than "Why are you trying to grow up so fast?"

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Anyone else see Raines tonight? The little girl was an excellent actress (both loved and was disturbed by her delight in repeatedly blowing away the molester with Raines' gun), and Goldblum really hit his performance out of the park. When he was talking with the shrink on the phone after yelling at the two figments to shut up, and he was so on the verge that he was practically crying--man, I teared up, too!

Damn it, I keep forgetting that I want to check out Raines.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Kathy, I am really enjoying Raines. I wish it had had at least a 13 ep order. I heard the ratings aren't great - so I don't think NBC will be putting it on the fall schedule.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

argh. I forgot that Clatterford was set to record. grr. I want them to write some code in tivo that has a special symbol for when you have a lower priority season pass that conflicts so that you can pick which one you want. Clatterford usually reruns at 1, so it records that one, but not last night. grrr.
