In total agreement with Vonnie et al. One of the things I love best about Pam is that she calls her mom for advice and leans on her for support. I feel like that's pretty rare for adult women on TV, and it just makes her all the more real to me.
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Compassionately intolerant
Speaking of comedy featuring real, lovable, approachable female characters, I'm watching the Vicar of Dibly.
It epitomizes what I adore about British tv, where the ethic is generally that the characters should be interesting, dimensional and mostly normal in appearance. Bless 'em.

John Cho, the Beek, SpyDaddy! All awesome!
Funny how much better the Beek is when he's not playing all earnest and shit.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Sure did seem like Ugly Betty was all Spot The Celebrity this episode.
I loved Betty's look with Emo Boy, before she started to tell her real story. Although I do hope she edited her paper some, to be more than just an ok story with a few funny lines.

I don't know; van der Forehead (TM Television Without Pity) just seemed like Dawson all grown up, like, *of course* he would be cool with "the gays," but not with transsexuals, like even for him, that's just too. much. acceptance.
And I absofuckinglutely LOVE how well this show handles the transsexual issues. Seriously.
Also, if Henry and Betty do not get together soon, I'm going to rip my hair out.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I thought the ex-sanwich guy was going to be Betty's new love interest.
and someone needs to tell Justin that his father loved him the way he was and that he can't be happy trying to be what he thinks his father was.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
The Office is freaking me out. When did this show get so surreal?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What do you mean, Laga?
Speaking of surreal: that was the most cracktastic episode of My Name Is Earl ever. I don't think they can ever top that. They made a Katamari Damacy joke! Oh, MNIE. They do out-of-the-box episodes so freaking well.
Regarding The Office: Oddly enough, I actually thought that Pam and Jim's asking about dinner with Michael was kind of mean. I know there are some people who find their pranking mean a lot, but I'm generally okay with it. But Michael was clearly in a lot of anguish, and I actually expected Pam's move to be some way of helping him out, not making him feel worse. I think her real motivation was getting out of dinner with Michael, and I understand that, but I still felt really bad for him. Luckily, they won their ways back into my good graces with the way they dealt with Dwight.
JIM'S IN LOVE WITH ITALIAN FOOD.
(Also, P.S. I was totally thinking about what Jim and Pam having sex would look like when they were in their room. And then Michael said it later. Freaky!)
