Haven't watched it yet, but I'll be sure to pay close attention.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

I just watched the Angel moment on TDS (you couldn't miss it!). In conjunction with that, I don't think I've liked Jason Jones more than I have in the segment tonight because he seemed so authentically pissed at the attitudes he was seeing that he couldn't keep up his usual dickhead persona. I get why him and Sam B are together now more than ever. Bless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, that was so great.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Any other fans of Comedy Central's @ Midnight? It's kind of a second cousin to Whose Line Is It Anyway? Three comedians improvise to the latest weirdness in social media.
Example: Amazon review pans Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but the reviewer clearly doesn't know anything. (For example, reviewer talks about a totally lame cover of that song from The Wonder Years.) Comedians, write a response to that reviewer. (Also popular: Here's a weird Craigslist ad. Respond as someone interested.)

The first couple of minutes of that show up at the end of my Colbert recordings, and they seem amusing enough. The ads with Chris Hardwick saying "Colbert Nation, please don't change the channel, watch our show" crack me up.

Hardwick is a good game show host. He keeps the show moving, and he's funny on his own without overshadowing the comedians.

Well, HIMYM certainly made me want some bacon.

As usual in Glee, the music was far better than the so-called plot. My highlight -- Artie and Tina covering En Vogue. It shouldn't have worked, but it did. (Bonus points for understanding "Every Breath You Take" better than the average wedding planner, even if it didn't quite work in context.)

Ah, Community into Parks and Rec, my favorite. Solid.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Re the latest HIMYM: so, aside from having actual rather than theoretical children, Ted and The Mother are Carl and Ellie? It's probably a sign of having rewatched Shadowlands and UP way too many times, but I... might actually be okay with that. Heartbroken, but okay.
And if it led to the final scene of the entire series being Ted and the kids and a golden retriever sitting on the curb outside a Fenton's, eating ice cream and saying, "Red one. Blue one. Gray one. SQUIRREL!" it would be utterly worth it. I might never stop crying, but since I'm kind of a crybaby anyway that wouldn't be a huge difference.
