"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think they fucked up the broadcast. I mean it was hard enough to follow but halfway through it went back to the pre-credits and just ran over the same material.

I thought they were trying to do some subtle time warpy mind freaky thing. But unless they've been studying film editing with John Cage and Wm. S. Burroughs I think they just messed it up.

Or the ran a fifteen minute episode twice? I have no idea. Couldn't even keep track of the two different Hanks. I'm so lost.

Maybe somebody at Sealab was trying to pirate cable television again.

Damn, missed VB. Hope it gets rerun this week.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I definitely only got 15 minutes of Venture Bros. It was not enough crack.

According to the Adult Swim schedule, it's supposed to be a half-hour long still (and no re-runs for this week scheduled, dammit!).

...it's like they know I'm always about to delete Glee from the DVR. First Kristin Chenoweth and now this.

I was just taping the Chenoweth ep this morning so I could take it off my dvr, and I thought that it'd be a good ep to introduce the show to my mom. She and I both saw Chenoweth as Sally in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" when it was in previews in Skokie before it hit Broadway and her career took off, and she was the star of the show in our eyes (well, her and Roger Bart, who played Snoopy).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I definitely only got 15 minutes of Venture Bros. It was not enough crack.

We got the full half hour in Boston. It seemed to be a Pulp Fiction homage with all the scenes in a random order. I think.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My VB was weird and confusing but not like Hec described. I kind of get what they were doing, but far from completely.

Made me want to watch last season again, I don't remember much of what happened...
