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

Heh. (mostly) Affectionate ribbing from the AVClub:

*******

by Sean O'Neal April 9, 2012

Surprising no one who’s witnessed the incipient reign of Zooey Deschanel, Fox has officially picked up Deschanel’s New Girl for a second season, ensuring at least another year of expanding the Deschanel dominion. “Let them eat miniature cupcakes topped with a single Skittle and affixed with kitten stickers,” Deschanel will proclaim in a fake regal accent from her throne, a reupholstered vintage movie theater seat. Anyway, it’s certainly welcome news for fans of the show—which is actually quite good, never mind how easy it is to mock Deschanel’s “adorkable” Etsy-ness—and a sign that Fox is pretty happy with its current Tuesday night lineup, as the network also issued official renewals for Glee and Raising Hope with the implication that all three would remain neighbors next year. “Hooray, that means I can invite them over to my record party—only 45s! I’ll provide the kombucha punch and vegan Rice Krispies treats,” Deschanel said in our imagination, which is just gently ribbing her because it’s fun.

I thought that the best part of community was the voiceover bit at the end. "Were you in The Cape?" (pause) "No."

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

That was a totally awesome cherry on top

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm now wondering what other shows Matt Bomer could make better/more enjoyable. Maybe all of them?

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

I am thinking yes, all of them. I am getting a serious hodgeberry vibe off of he and Blane though.

It doesn't help that they sang a love song! But I kind of dug that reimagining -- not all strong and important relationships are romantic ones? But yes anyway.

'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"

Wait... Bomer sings, too?!??

I just wanted to squee a little bit over Raising Hope's renewal. Also, they did the thing I was hoping they would do -- reveal that Hope's serial-killer mom is alive, because that would complicate things very funnily.

OH yes. Not that it matters on Glee, what with all the autotune and other processing, but yes.

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

Always Anti-fascist!

"I've been making people laugh better than this." No, you haven't. But I'm sure some other old white guy will pony up to make "Assisted Living Vacation", and ,what the hell, Christie Brinkley's self-esteem has taken a hit lately...maybe you can get her back to give you a sponge bath. Could it be possible he doesn't get the jokes? He never did strike me as an intellectual comic. "Holiday Road" plays as Chevy blows past his relevance and hits Eric Idle with his car.(My brother, like, worships, that guy...the horrible shit I've had to watch to "share" and take turns...meh.
