It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

Cop Rock was only 11 episodes so I doubt it will ever be syndicated but they could at least release a DVD.

I'd tune in out of curiosity. I only watched part of one episode when it was on TV.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Cop Rock had its moments (and every time I see an ad for one of these TV judges that has a choir singing in the courtroom, I think "did we learn NOTHING from Cop Rock?"). And seriously - it was better than a lot of what's on now. And getting renewed.

When I first started watching Glee I didn't realize that they were actually doing the singing - then I realized those were their real voices and I was impressed.

I feel like Glee sounded overproduced in the first couple episodes and that they toned it down.

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

However, I also don't think liking a show means you can't point out what it could do better.

That's not what I think a critique is about. I think every work should have those kind of contradictions and you're interested in how they're juggled. Though I'll readily admit there are a variety of ways you can approach the notion from dramaturgy to deconstruction to dramatic critique to a theatrical review in a newspaper.

*Not sure of the technical term

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

Who do you think is the most autotuned? I kind of think Kurt and Finn.

Mercedes, Rachel and Santana seem to have more "real" (unadultered) voices.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The finale had a lot of really bad lipsynching by the club. When Lea started "To Sir with Love," I could immediately tell she was just a hair off, and so were the rest of the cast on that song. Very sloppy.
