"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Uh...

Britney is expected to play a character called Abby - who works in the doctor's office owned by main character Ted - who is described as "sweet and friendly and scattered and a little nerdy".

Ted doesn't own a doctor's office. He's an architect.

The show revolves around Ted, played by Jason Segal, who tells his children the crazy stories behind how he met their mom.

Jason Segal doesn't play Ted, Josh Radnor does.

NZ entertainment reporters suck ass!

Aren't casting spoilers restricted to Spoilage Lite?

Just a reminder, "The Return of Jezebel James", starring Parker Posey and written by Amy Sherman-Palladino, is being offered up for sacrifice to the cancellation gods by Fox this Friday at 8:00.

Parker Posey AND Lauren Ambrose!

I think Jezebel James was doomed months ago when they cut the order from 13 to 7. Plus I have not heard good things about its quality.

Posey doesn't seem as comfortable with AS-P's dialog as Lauren Graham was. Plus the timing is getting thrown all out of whack, because they had to put in pauses for the freaking laugh track.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I wanted to like it, but the laugh track really sucked the life out of it. And Parker Posey seemed like she was trying to play Lauren Graham and failing. I always love Lauren Ambrose, though. Also, I think they might have changed the setting,because they kept refering to her apartment as a house.

Art Crawl!!!

Hmm, I completely forgot this was on . . . perhaps I don't need to feel any regret.

"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

It was a real house in the pilot and a big 2-story apartment set in the next episode. Looked nothing alike except the initial absence of couch.

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

I think I fell asleep
