No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Go On is pretty ordinary sitcom, but I'm thrilled it's not a competion show or a show about going through storage units. Reality programming has made me less hard to please.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The only thing I found funny in Go On was John Cho.

Go On has John Cho?!

It wasn't even on my radar but I may have to check out a couple of episodes...

Thrive to spite them

sj - I can't see Big Bang Theory until it's online - did you like it?

It was ok. I prefer episodes where all the main characters are together being geeky.

I haven't seen last year's yet so it is kind of disappointing how the same it all is. I get that that is a comfort of sitcom, but it's not comforting so much as repetitive. Also, what sj said.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Community kind of ruined me for BBT. I just sort of wanted to punch everyone. Except the other astronauts. And Stewart.

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

If Raj and Stewart actually start dating, I will forgive all. As long as they never change the theme song.

I was thinking the same thing!

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

I decided to try an entire episode of BBT, and I still feel the same disconnect as I did to shorter clips. The punchy things described above, but to Stewart and the astronauts also (well, not the Russian guy--I've had a thing for him for a while). I'd be impressed if the took the clueless moment and made it a gay relationship, but I don't imagine I'd find it funny.

Okay, now 2 1/2 Men came on, and Kutcher is still working that really pretty not attractive thing, and this isn't punchy, this is hives. Gotta go.
