Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Am I the only one not loving Community so far this season?

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

I'm laughing a lot more at Parks and Rec. This week's episode felt a little more like the show, and it had its moments, but so far it's not living up to the last two seasons.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Perkins,

it has been uneven. Apparently this week was a nod to Fringe, but not wildly funny.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Speaking of Community, I've just started watching Season 2, and holy hell, Betty White! How funny was that?

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

A nod to Fringe? I thought the Earth 1/Earth 2 stuff was comics geekery.

I've been liking it just fine.

But they called it Earth 1 and Earth 2, didn't they? Or at least Abed did.

Yeah, which is a standard thing. Hell, I thought it was a reference to Another Earth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I think the reason I haven't typically watched many sitcoms is that....I don't really like sitcoms. Weird! I'm watching Up All Night, and I can tell it's good and funny, but I just don't care. But I do think all parents should watch it and laugh.
