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

Earl has 7 episodes left.

Wow. That's surprising. I guess they started shooting early.

Earl has a large number of outside shots, which may mean that they have to have a considerable run-up time to keep it all under control. Although, this season in particular, with Earl in prison and the rest of the cast back in Camden County pursuing a largely separate plot, they can conceivably run two units nearly simultaneously.

And they probably had to have a significant lead time for Joy's story in "Creative Writing" to be animated (and Darnell's song to be recorded).

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

Because it's a rainy weekend, I invested in the first season of HIMYM on DVD. Also, I realized that I'd never really seen the first five episodes.

And they're still good, but Lilly's character is actually stronger and more interesting in the early eps, and Josh Radnor comes off less sensitive guy and more gay man in some of the early eps. He kind of butched up a bit.

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

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There was a jokey reference to it and the end of this past week's episode, but it was impossible to tell if they were making up the Emmy part or not.

They won the Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation.

That makes sense. The joke was that they did not win for writing.

Neil Patrick Harris hosted the evening. He came out onstage, started reading from some 3x5 index cards and halfway through the sentence, "Last night I was just thinking..." he stopped and looked really confused. He turned the card over. Checked his pockets. And then shouted into the wings his card was blank and he didn't know what to say next. Out walked a red shirted writer carrying a WGA strike sign and the whole place errupted into applause. Neil Patrick tried to carry on, calling on some dancers to vamp as he tried to come up with some material. I wish I had my camera at the ready. It was priceless. Keep your eyes peeled! Hopefully something will show up on YouTube or Flickr!
