how they snuck the live actors into Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas.
The what now?
I was seriously confused for the first maybe minute. Like maybe I was on the wrong channel?
That was glorious. Although 40 is a little lower than I was thinking...
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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

I knew they were doing a G.I. Joe episode but even I was like what the fuck even is this fucking episode until they finally threw me a sorta bone as to some sort of in-show explanation as to what was going on.
I think my favorite part was the commercials. "Innocence not included. Comes with Reversible Ethics."

The commercials were amazing. They really got the look right.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
They really got the look right.
They did with the animation, too -- not just the style of animation being dead on for G.I. Joe of that era, but they also added all those little white specks and whatnot that made it look like an old cartoon.

Old school Saturday morning visuals all the way around.

I'm going to miss Raising Hope -- they went out on a loving grace note, at least.

That was really lovely. I'm going to miss the Chances.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, my god, this week's Glee is a Sondheim episode.

The reference to Ben Wyatt's time at Carleton College(in my hometown)in a recent Parks & Rec made me wonder whether the character was based, in part, on a guy I went to high school with.
We turned 18 the year that the voting age dropped to 18, and there was quite a bit of excitement about all of these newly enfranchised young people. My classmate was from an even smaller town nearby and decided to run for mayor of his town as a lark. He won, and was famous for about 15 minutes as America's first 18-year-old mayor.
With very little for the mayor to do in this little bedroom community, his administration was a much quieter disaster than Ben's, and he was politely allowed to serve out his one disappointing term and fade into obscurity.
I wonder if any of the writers actually went to Carleton or lived in the area and happened to read a "Where are they now?" style follow-up?

Punishingly Intricate
I remember that guy, Rick, and thought that's who they based Ben's past on when the character was first introduced.
Speaking of Parks and Rec, it was pretty flippin' funny tonight!
