We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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.

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.

My favorite joke this past week was "I would applaud, but it seems that someone's given you the clap."

OK, usually when there's a product tie in for a show I'm all cynical and annoyed by the merchandising. Whereas last night's Glee had me desperately rifling through computers at work today until I could find one with a recent enough version of iTunes to buy "Somebody to Love." And then playing it on a loop all afternoon as I worked.

I like the Glee cast version better than Queen's original.

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

oooh. heresy.

I liked their version, but I prefer Queen's.
