Guest star last night, though I could totally see her coming back to help Rachel reach inside and find her inner blowsy alcoholic.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

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.

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!

I have gotten TCG hooked on Talk Soup. We usually end up watching it on Sunday morning while caffeinating ourselves. It is a good way to start a weekend day.

Community is funny, but i'm still not sure that i'm sold. it seems like it's trying a little too hard. though i do love Joel McHale.
