Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Plus, he is indeed freakishly tall.

Total gratuitous Chenowith tonight but i still loved it. That show makes me smile, even with the outlandish ridonculousness.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Kristin Chenoweth is in Glee? Regularly, or as a guest star?

I may have to start watching.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Guest star last night, though I could totally see her coming back to help Rachel reach inside and find her inner blowsy alcoholic.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Is anybody watching Community? I saw the first two episodes last night and LOVED IT. So funny. Senor Chang rocks my socks.

Senor Chang rocks my socks.

I am also enjoying Senor Chang. Back in Minnesota, my 9th grade German class was taught by Herr Chung, a native of Korea. This was an odd situation, both for Herr Chung, who had been unable to find a job teaching one of the three Asian languages he spoke fluently and was reduced to a position using his fairly basic knowledge of German, and to the students, who had grown up around German and Norwegian speaking grandparents and therefore found Herr Chung's pronunciation of umlauted vowels somewhat inscrutable. Senior Chang's classroom brings back the memories.

Well, Rick, looks like it's just you and me.

It's on tonight and the first two eps are available at nbc.com and on demand on my cable. Watch some clips. I would say it's for fans of things like Glee or The Office, by featuring over-the-top characters. It alternately lovingly embodies stereotypes and completely skewers them (see Senor Chang).

My Italian 1 class in college was taught by an inexplicably hostile Japanese woman who didn't speak english very well at all. Her Italian was okay, IIRC.

Always Anti-fascist!

I keep meaning to watch it because I love Joel McHale on the Soup. But I've missed it twice now.

erika is me, except I might still try to catch it on demand. There is just too much TV right now.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think The Soup is the best thing ever, but my mom is always asking "What the hell are you watching?" and doesn't get it. Maybe there is a generation gap after all. And Joel is an Olbermann fanboy...I loved their clip war last year.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't think it is generational. Beau cannot stand "Talk Soup" and does not understand why I like it.

I think that the humor is a little like those who like puns. I get that "Talk Soup" is a little juvenile at times, but it still makes me laugh so no apologies!
