Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

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

sigh. I sat through that whole sickly episode of Glee figuring the payoff would be Sue's ripping VDay to shreds. In the future Sue-less episodes ought to come with a disclaimer.

In my corner of the states (southeastern PA) the high school football season pretty much ends on Thanksgiving. Are there really schools out there that play through Valentine's Day, or was that more of just Glee being Glee?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Wikipedia says that the season ends at different times in different states, but the latest it goes is the end of December.

Thanks! That isn't the kind of thing I would have thought to look for on Wikipedia. (I don't know why; I've found all kinds of random other things on there.)

Yeah even with CIF playoffs, our high school football season ends in mid-December, and overlaps with the beginning of basketball season. Our basketball season will be over by the end of February too /has a kid in high school

Archer continues to be the "go there" show in that they will go there even when you think they possibly couldn't.

Disclaimer: I have not watched a single episode of Glee. (Yes, yes, I keep being told I'll love it.)

I just heard the version of MCR's Sing that is going to be on the show. [link]

Um. Is that what most of the songs on Glee sounds like? Because if is, I suspect I should not watch Glee, because it will drive me bugnuts.

Because books.

That's pretty much what they all sound like, yeah.

Hmm. I just poked around YouTube some more, and watched some clips. Dammit, Glee SHOULD be the sort of thing I love. But I think the production choices for all the songs will cause me to roll my eyes or grind my teeth.

(And yet, I love the Buffy musical episode, and the episodes of Pushing Daisies when Olive sang? Delightful. Now I want to try and figure out what it is about Glee that doesn't work for me.)

I like their versions of some songs, but that is just WRONG. It's got no grit, no soul. IMHO. But then I've stopped watching Glee.
