'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"

Yeah, I'm unclear -- I thought Earl had another couple eps in the can, but I guess not. However, they're locked in for another season, so we can count on seeing the character get out of his coma. (Although it would be meta-funny to see a season where instead of being in jail, Earl is in a coma for most of the season....)

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

god that show is GENIUS!

It really is. I love subtitle humor. That was perfect.

Yeah, so did I, but they had some hourlong eps, and they were showing a lot of episodes without a break, so I guess they ran out quicker than I thought they would.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

HMOG! Just caught up with last night's TDS and TCR and Colbert dancing (and lip synching) to "When Dove's Cry" at the SMITHSONIAN made me hurt myself laughing.

His incredibly tasteless yet hilarious joke when looking at Lincoln's hat was almost as good.

The boys are doing a pretty good job on their own, but you can tell they miss their writers (as Stephen's closings remark made abundently clear).

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

His incredibly tasteless yet hilarious joke when looking at Lincoln's hat was almost as good.

The Smithsonian guy's doubletake reaction had me laughing even harder than the joke itself.

Yeah, that too, especially since it fell just about half a beat after my recognition of what Colbert had just said.

That really was priceless.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Variety say ABC have terminated Bill Callahan's deal. He's the co-exec prod on Scrubs.

This bit is purely what I've heard - apparently the last filmed episode (which airs in feb) will be pinned as the series finale. Although it was never written as one as far as I know. So that's going out with a wimper.

They've also cut Larry Charles (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

Ouch. That really sucks for Scrubs fans.

Wait, Scrubs is NBC. What does ABC have to do with Bill Callahan? Is this a FOX/20th Century Fox thing?

Scrubs is produced by ABC, even though it's shown on NBC.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

HIMYM just made me hyperventilate and then choke

shotgun!

but it really bugs me how AH has red hair in the titles. It's like how Mike episodes of MST3K have Joel on the cover.
