Glee's Quinn, bt. Rowr.

If that's wrong, Victor, I don't want to be right. Although way too little of her in the episode, I have to say.

I loved The New Girl! And Raising Hope never disappoints.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I couldn't make it all the way through the New Girl. I tried, but it's not for me.

The Smeagol line in New Girl got a laugh from me (mostly because I would probably say something similar). It wasn't bad but I don't think I'll add it to the DVR, if it's on I will watch. Same with 2 Broke Girls, it was OK but not appointment TV.

Raising Hope was really fun, as expected! Cute way to show Hope growing into a toddler. Cloris Leachman should get an Emmy nod next year, she goes 110% with Maw Maw no matter how outrageous or embarrassing.

I like 80's Madonna-esque Quinn (but really The Skanks? ugh!). I was also glad to see Kurt and Rachel get a dose of reality but knowing Glee, it won't last.

The toddler stuff was great on Raising Hope. No magical soap baby who stays an infant till high school!

I have to say Sugar whatever her name was cracked me up, even if it shouldn't have. And Blaine(!) doing Tom Jones was so lovely.

Always Anti-fascist!

I like "The New Girl" I know people like that...they're mostly not that cute, but hey, David Simon says one of the key components that separates TV from real people is that TV characters get to fuck prettier people than you.(That actually got him bleeped at Loyola.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

If that's wrong, Victor, I don't want to be right. Although way too little of her in the episode, I have to say.

Looks like next week is Quinn-centric. I hope she keeps the look and attitude, adjusted just enough to actually have her back in the club. Also, Santana can't stay out too long. IJS.

"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

I like Quinn's new look, but unfortunately Dianna Agron still utterly fails to draw my interest to her character's issues or motivation. Her sleep-acting scene opposite Rachel was the one part of the episode I didn't like. (Though the funny one-liners from the Skanks kept it from being a complete waste of time.)

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

In which I love Parks and Recreation.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire

Wow PC, you and I took the same path recently! I didn't watch Better Off Ted, Community or Parks and Rec when they aired, but I kept hearing great things about them, so I finally watched them and loved, loved, LOVED them all! All three brought me so much joy and made me laugh and want to hug them!

Have you watched The IT Crowd? That's the other comedy that I love to distraction!

It's so weird, I'm usually a drama person, but every once in awhile, I hit a comedy phase, and I'm apparently going through that phase right now.
