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

That's cool. He was a session guy himself for a long time before he joined the Doobies late in their career.

Hey, he was on Katy Lied. Nothing shabby about that.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Sunday there's going to be a live action ATHF with Jon Benjamin as Shake and a contest winner as Karl.

Is anyone else made goofily happy by the pilot of Glee?

I liked it, but am not getting the over the top love that I'm seeing.

I enjoyed it quite a bit! I'm interested in seeing where they go with it.

It's on hulu/fancast, Laga.

It made me smile a lot, and I have high hopes. Goofily happy is a perfect description.

I credit about 90% of the enjoyment to the musical numbers... While I didn't grow super fond of any of the characters in the regular dialogue scenes, when they bust out with "You're the One that I Want" or "Don't Stop Believing" I go to the same happy place I occupied for most of Mama Mia!

It doesn't hurt that the pilot included three songs I have on iTunes.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Jane Lynch totally cracked me up as the cheerleading coach! I also liked the principal, especially when he said that the AA group would pay him "ten bucks a head!" in that delighted tone. The kids were fine, the glee club coach was sweetly naive, but it's the secondary adult characters that are making the show for me after the fun of the musical numbers.

Yes, and some of the acting is bad. Which annoys me, because I could maybe get over it for a spectacular voice (looking at you, Jennifer Hudson)
