-t is me. Or I am she. One nitpick about the Mindy Project: That's a lot of...I don't know, riffing. or trope-busting. I love that, like the Lance White episodes on Rockford. But there's a reason the whole show was never about Lance White and he was only on four times or something.(will that make sense to people who aren't me?) God knows, every genre has enough "stuff" that you can make fun of for a long time. and Kaling knows her stuff, she's good at it, but it was more like "Here's Mindy Kaling, playing an obstetrician who thinks she's in a movie every day...she can't act that way in real life, ha ha." But I can't even pretend to believe in it. I think the jokes are going to have to be damn good to make up for that.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I'm enjoying the New Normal and Go On, though not in love with either. Their newness is refreshing. Haven't seen Mindy.
Friday is Community, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In mid-October, yes.

Not this Friday, alas. 10/19

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Community doesn't start until October 19.

It is an excellent, swift set of responses! Crap, I had it in my brain as the last Friday of Sept. Stupid brain. Disappointing.

A bunch of season premiers got shifted later, I think Community might have been one (because my rewatching plan was supposed to have me finishing up season 3 just in time for season 4 to start, and instead I'll finish next Tuesday. Which clearly means I have counted wrong somewhere, but perhaps there are sources of error beyond me...)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I liked the Mindy Project. I Am hoping her character's self criticism calms down in future episodes, though. The only thing I found funny in Go On was John Cho.
