ha! yeah, I think you are right.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How about "Golddigger" wearing those jeans and the tight t-shirt?
Yes, that was the beginning of my downfall.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
You know, I think it may be that there's a sort of earnestness there. Like, "I'm going to sing and dance to this song! I like this song! Enjoy this song with me, won't you?" that's not trying to be HAWT or campy.
I find JT can pull this off sometimes too, and I'm disturbed by that.

Yes, I was very amused by the smooth R&B selections. I wanted some Boys II Men.
So, has Acafellas disbanded since Josh Groban doesn't want them as an opening act?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There was lots of cringiness.
And yet, as soon as they hit the numbers, whammo.
Also, wouldn't it cost a lot less than $8000 to buy a fog machine? I'm just saying Sue must have a significantly long view.

If anyone can catch a rerun of Inside the Actors Studio with the voices of Family Guy, I highly recommend it. It was hysterical.

or is just that hateful.
so, was the cheerio at the end starting to see through Sue's hate-on for the glee club? It sounded like she was becoming *gasp* self aware!

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

I never laughed so hard at that show. I had to keep rewinding to see what I'd missed.

Me too! The actors were so quick about answering questions in character.
