I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I need to thank P-C again for having me give Outsourced another chance. It's not kickass but it's better than it was for the pilot. And I really have become fond of the actors and characters. Rizwan Manji as Rajiv in particular cracks me up.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Nobody quits paan cold chicken."
"Cold turkey."
"Cold lentil. I do not understand this game."

Madhuri is probably the most consistently funny character on the show, and she and Rajiv play off each other well. Rajiv was annoying in the early episodes, but I do like the actor, and he's much funnier when he's outside his stock undermine-the-boss role. (Although the blackmail video was pretty great. Especially when he tried to shut himself up by covering Video!Rajiv's mouth.)

They should ditch the white characters and make the whole show about the Indian characters. They're the entertaining ones.

Hey, don't be getting rid of my hot preppy eye candy! Though I would be perfectly cool with scaling back Todd's role to spend more screentime on Madhuri and Rajiv.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

No comments on last week's Office? I was wondering what Glee fans thought of it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think The Office is back in form this year, although Michael's outrageousness may have gone up a notch too far. His conflict with Gabe is good for the show.

I didn't think last week's episode was so much about Glee as about socializing outside work. Some good moments. Michael acting in ways that a 2-year-old would consider immature. Dwight (!) being able to calm CeCe. Jim as go-between for Dwight and Angela.

Is anyone else's dislike of Gwyneth Paltrow being fanned into a blazing inferno by this episode of Glee? I think I'd be bothered by this obviously Mary Sue-esque character if she were played by an actress I like; depicted by a pretentious overprivileged twit she's insufferable.

I was still scrubbing my brain from the insight into Schue and Terri's sex life so really, there was not much getting through.

I do love Becky as Sue's minion.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I know I am in a TINY minority, but I kinda like Gwyneth Paltrow. She is great in two of my fave movies, Shakespeare in Love and Sliding Doors, and she has some singing pipes. She has a realy dopey website, but seems to be a good mom and a loving daughter, so she ranks low in the scale of celeb horribleness to me.

Because books.

I like Gwyneth Paltrow, too. I think she's got talent, even if motherhood or whatever has made her a little woo woo.

I thought she did really well tonight, too. The last number was fantastic. And my "Forget You" loves continues unabated.
