RH: the reaction shots they're getting from the babies are hysterical.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not really a baby person, but the RH baby is on my shortlist. Never grow up!

I was kinda impressed with the baby on Glee. She did the perfect pout, turn away, and glom onto Mom when Puck reached for her.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know if they have the best baby wrangler ever, or an awesome baby actor, but something is very right with that kid.

It sounds like all the RH cast & crew are in love with the babies, so I'm sure that helps.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Cloris Leachman was on one of the XM stations i listen to recently. she said one of the babies is scared of her and cries any time she's around, but the other loves her. she said they have this ritual headbutting thing they do that just makes that baby laugh and laugh and laugh.

The second episode of New Girl was different from the first. They swapped out the black actor. Don't know if the guy in the pilot wasn't available for the series or if they "decided to go in a different direction" or what. Felt like the geek references were minimal to non-existent (I'd have to rewatch and I didn't tivo it). There were other things, but overall I think it could settle into a good show. Or it could go frightfully in the wrong direction.
