Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to put this here instead of Reality, because comedy, but it was a toss-up: Last night I was accidentally watching Last Comic Standing and saw a clip of a guy saying the thing about how, when dating, men's greatest fear is that the woman will be fat, and women's greatest fear is that the man is going to kill them. Are these comics not supposed to be doing original bits??

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

I stopped watching LCS when one of the contestants was Alonzo Bodden who I'd seen perform at the Just For Laughs Fest (at the time the biggest comedy festival) on a well-established gig (the "uptown" comics) about five years standing. Bill Bellamy and Dave Chappelle play that show!

That's more egregious than Tessanne Chin on the Voice, plus he wasn't funny either time.

Looking now seems he won the next year, so I don't even know their criteria.

Get your "Troy and Abed in morning" coffee cups (or pen holder in my case since I gave up coffee) while you can.

My TiVo recorded two episodes of Louie--Into the Woods running 1:34 and Into The Woods 2 running 1:00, but the second is nearly the last hour of the first. Have I missed anything?

I mean, anything interesting because all that wasn't to me.

The 1:34 episode is, as far as I know, it for this week. TiVo got confused.

Okay--the next two are Pamelas.

So, does this have any continuity with his previous series? Are those kids the kids of his divorced wife too? She's light-skinned, but they're really blonde.

AM I SUPPOSED TO CARE?

I don't think you are supposed to care, really.

Janet is blonde in flashbacks, sometimes. At least I think that is meant to be her.

By previous series, you mean the one on HBO way back when? Pretty sure not. If you mean last season - more continuity than I expected in some ways and less in others.

Didn't care for this last episode, too Very Special for my taste
