Though it's my understanding that the show is kind of fail-y on a lot of issues, including mental illness.
It's 100% fail-y on just about every issue. For the record.

Meanwhile, I'm painting hearts and stars around Raising Hope with Burt & Virginia remaining strong through Jimmy's bad trip. And Jimmy punching out Dogheaded Man (which is just as awesome in context as Xander taking a shot at the Evil Clown) and accidentally giving his boss just what he wanted.

Ahahaha! I just didn't want Steph to feel like she needed to pussyfoot around the enormous levels of fail on a show I still enjoy VERY MUCH. As long as I don't think too hard, and just stick to humming "Unpretty" as I go about my day.

Always Anti-fascist!
That reminds me of "Kitchen Confidential" and "He's a total fraud, with a tiny penis."
"How do you know that?"
"I don't...but it's the rumor I'm starting."

Oh yeah, it has great moments, absolutely. And great characters, many of whom I don't believe you are supposed to like. (edit, I really mean you aren't supposed to think they are good people) I mean, it's still Ryan Murphy.

Darn it, I forgot that people in other areas of the country got actual network programming the last couple of nights instead of constant weather coverage.
