Ann, that's a ferret.

Big Bang Theory -- Only seen half of the episode, but it's clearly going to be a classic. Sheldon's fanboy plus Bob Newhart's underplaying equals comedy gold. Platinum, even.

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

I liked Community. I think I think maybe they're trying too hard, but if Harmon had been on the show, I wouldn't have thought that, so I'm trying to discard that reaction. I enjoyed it, and I bought the transitions, especially the penultimate one.

I liked the transitions but I'm definitely going to have to watch again and pause judiciously to really see them all. But I like the idea.

I was really leery about the concept of this episode but I think it played out okay.

They might be trying too hard but I also feel like they are trying in the right directions and given some more time they will find the sweet spot so - one more season, please. Or two more and a movie. You know.

This would be especially hilarious for another season or two of them making excuses for why Pierce isn't there each episode.

In honor of tonight's likely series finale for Happy Endings, I'll be eating ribs right along with Alex.

Aww, I hadn't heard that. Sadface. Not, unfortunately, Surprisedface. Much as I enjoy the show, I haven't been able to keep track of it since the 1st season, I think. Not quite as mishandled as Firefly, but they tried.

The DVR has found it for me consistently, yay technology. I'm a little hot and cold on it, to tell the truth - the things I like about it I really like, but sometimes it seems like the things I don't like about it are what the creators are really in love with.

Alex's love of ribs is definitely one of the things I like.

Aw, finally I have a reason to like Ted! It's been a while.

I thought you meant (Better Off) Ted.

Humph.

Sorry, didn't mean to tease. That would have had a lot more exclamation points.
