What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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.

oooh. heresy.

I know! I fully expect Freddie Mercury to rise from the grave this Halloween and bitch-slap me for it. But I've never felt compelled to listen to him sing the song 15 times in a row.
