It's 100% fail-y on just about every issue. For the record.
But then, occasionally, it does an issue so perfectly that it hurts. Like Burt's talk with Kurt about sex.
Hauser: You really think you can solve the problem? Come into Wolfram & Hart and make everything right? Turn night into glorious day? You pathetic little fairy. Angel: I'm not little.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
When Creepy Glee Club Teacher showed off his I-embrace-my-flaws t-shirt, I was muttering "Please say 'Tiny Dick.' Please say 'Tiny Dick.' Please say 'Tiny Dick.' "

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But then, occasionally, it does an issue so perfectly that it hurts. Like Burt's talk with Kurt about sex.
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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
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.

My Tivo didn't pick it up! Why Tivo hast thou forsaken me?!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Hec, it was 1.5 hours, so perhaps there was something with a higher priority on at 9?

Meanwhile, I'm painting hearts and stars around Raising Hope
I am so glad that at the beginning of the season, the TV was set to Fox after Glee and I was too lazy to find the clicker and change the channel. I adore Raising Hope so much. "I'm going to read more book back covers!" I'm just glad that Jimmy didn't get in trouble for breaking into the store (although I'm guessing that the fight club was also "technically" breaking into the store) and that his boss was understanding about the tea trip

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It's 100% fail-y on just about every issue. For the record.
Yeah. I quit it. ftr. But I quit SPN too, and I know other people still love it, so my tolerance level is probably pretty low. I guess I just figure I deal with enough sexism and racism on a daily basis that I don't need it in my entertainment. At least not my entertainment that tries to be earnest. I somehow am willing to give a pass on shows that don't even try. But try and fail, and show runners demonstrate that they don't think they're failing? And I'm out.
I miss both shows.

Huh. Points for not trying then?
