I'm just saying Sue must have a significantly long view.
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!
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
If anyone can catch a rerun of Inside the Actors Studio with the voices of Family Guy, I highly recommend it. It was hysterical.
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Glee was awesome. I died with "Josh Groban loves a blowsy alcoholic." Bwah!!
JG always seemed so ... I don't know - white bread, for lack of a better. I seriously can't thinkof a better descriptor right now, I have the dumb. But I'm wondering if A) he doesn't have at least some sense of humor about his image and B) is really bent on the inside. Barb, I might need the lowdown and JG's private life.

“Not dead yet!”
Both A & B are completely on the money, Aims. He has a huge sense of awareness of how he's perceived and an even bigger sense of humor about that image. And he has a seriously bent and far to the left of twisted sense of humor. The one thing he's always struck me as taking completely seriously is the music. Anything else is fair game.
Here's a good indicator of his sense of humor. (And it totally fits in this thread, since it's def. comedy.)

He was in "I'm Fucking Matt Damon" too, wasn't he?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
He was in "I'm Fucking Ben Affleck" which I just watched and have tears coming down my face.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Singing Bel Biv Devoe! He should look ridiculous!
That was BRILLIANT.
I saw him being interviewed on the local cable show about Broadway, and he said they call him "Triple Threat," but you have to sing-song it in a falsetto.
FYI.

Ann, that's a ferret.
First, apologies if I'm incoherent today. Early this morning, Rigatoni took a sharp turn for the much worse. He's still alive, but barely.
On to last night's Office. Okay, the refrigerator box was a cheap laugh. And not even unexpected. But effective because so perfectly executed.
The ep as a whole rode that fine line between realistic, entertaining, and disturbing. Michael seemed to cross lines even he rarely crosses, though for very Michael reasons.
I predict Andy will do something stupid because of his sexual insecurity before the season ends. Probably involving group sex.
That was Michael's car that Stanley destroyed, right?
An ep centered around the interns would have been nice, but obviously that won't happen. I suspect none of them will end up with Dunder Mifflin permanently, not least because the cast is already too big.

Compassionately intolerant
While I highly recommend watching the whole episode, this clip of Josh Groban on Nevermind the Buzzcocks perfectly illustrates his view of his own image.
Throughout the show, he's self-effacing, charming and down right funny.
I was never a fan of his music, but I love watching him do comedy.
