Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I knew a guy who died that way!

Yikes. I did enjoy the AH body double shot.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know! I think that roof jumping is a bad idea. I'm just gonna put that out there as a public service announcement.

I was wondering how they were going to get back to their own roof, and I was worrying about the poor nice neighbors with the immaculately designed terrace who have had this psycho guy standing on the ledge on the next building all the time for a year!

The AH body double shot was funny, as was the I'm pregnant fakeout. I loves me some completely transparent meta.

My Name is Earl isn't going to be renewed. ::Sigh::

And here I was looking forward to finding out who the real father of Earl Jr was, now that we know it wasn't Crabman.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I know! I'm sure it would be end up being someone ridiculous like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or something. I also wanted to see if Greg Garcia had a real ending planned for the series. The studio is shopping the show to Fox and ABC, so one of them might pick it up.

I wasn't expecting it to actually not come back! I mean, honestly, I'm a little okay with it because I have a lot of shows already (especially on Thursday), but it's a damn funny show! And it has the best DVD extras.

Aw, rats. I also didn't really believe Earl was in danger. It's such a nice little show, who could cancel it?

I think they were gonna fake us out - Darnell is Earl Jr's father but there was something screwy with the toothbrushes getting mixed up or something.

I hope HIMYM has some explanation why if Ted hadn't run into Stella on the corner that time, he wouldn't have met the mother in this class he's teaching.

I was worrying about the poor nice neighbors with the immaculately designed terrace who have had this psycho guy standing on the ledge on the next building all the time for a year!

Yeah, I fully expected the episode to end with the neighbors calling the cops to get all these strangers off of their roof.

well, he wouldn't have run into Tony, who wouldn't have tried to get him a job building a murder room, who wouldn't have tried to make that up by getting him a teaching job.

Oh, right, thanks! I forgot that was coming through him.

OK, HIMYM, we're cool.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I was just reading that Earl might get picked up by another network.

On 30 Rock, who was the singer with white hair who made the comment about his beard? I'm certain I will face:palm as soon as I hear it, but I do not know and it's bugging me. Help!
