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

Yes, it was.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I think Dan Harmon and the writers must look at each episode's script and say "What did we have the Dean wearing last week? Okay, how can we make this week's outfit beat that one?"

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

I loved Community (Dean Pelton, never get your life together), but it was out there bumping against the edges of not working so I wouldn't be surprised if it teetered over for some people.

Also pleased with 30 Rock. That "Jane" might have been deliberate since his previous line was about never making a mistake?

All this and Zen master Ron Swanson. Ah, Parks and Rec, it is good to have you back.

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

That was one of the most fucked-up and bizarre Community episodes ever, and that's saying something. I can definitely see how it wouldn't work for some people, and it wasn't completely on fire, but I liked it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, nice.

With Tracy Morgan, my first guess is always unprofessionalism.

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

I don't think "Community" was a miss for me, but I'm glad this was not the first episode after their hiatus. It would not have been very accessible for new viewers. at all.

I got what they were trying to do with the episode and intellectually I'm with them (like the "My Dinner with Andre" ep), but I didn't LOVE it.

I still admire the ambition even if I don't react with so much enthusiasm every single time. No show can live up to that, so I'm okay.

OMG, catching up on last night's Colbert: Julie Andrews and Stephen doing "Accentuate the Positive"? Just lovely.

I also really want to know what she said that was bleeped because I have heard she does actually swear like a sailor IRL.

I loved me some "Community" tonight. It was right up my fucking alley.
