No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

PSA: according to Comcast, the first episode of season 4 of Robot Chicken is repeating tonight. It was really funny and I know a lot of people missed it the first time

Ooh. Thanks -t. I'm one who missed it, and I was wondering what they were going to do after the season 3 finale (which made me think the show had been cancelled).

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Just started catching up on Better off Ted and am delighted. Of course it'll probably be canceled soon, but Portia de Rossi's character is a hoot.

It's a gem. I love the little promotional bits.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I really love Jonathan Slavin -- he was in the Andy Richter show in a similar role, IIRC.

Yeah, he's one of my That Guys that I always enjoy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Portia was hilarious keeping Ted's daughter around so people wouldn't get emotional in her office. And teaching her to fire employees!

I am neutral on Slavin's character except when he's interacting with his lab buddy.

The woman who's hounding Ted to have an office affair with her can't go away soon enough to suit me, though.

Really? I don't need for her to get with Ted, but I love her stealing creamer and throwing stuff (that people won't be knowingly eating) at her monitor. "We're not supposed to do this. They even sent around a memo. It's what gave me the idea."

Matt, you scared me for a second, thought I'd missed Better Off Ted. Or that you were posting from the future.

More like from the past; I think I forgot to comment last week.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Parks and Rec, anyone? I liked it! At least partly because I like municipal government, and spent a formative evening in my youth sitting in a meeting with my father where curb cuts were discussed in detail....
