Excuse me, I'll just be bawling until the next episode airs.
'Hell Bound'
Comedy 1: A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants

OK, listening to the podcast got me a little more grounded.
Oof, that was good.
That was great. Oh, Chidi.
I was noting that in the last few episodes (before he went comatose) he was far more decisive than in the past. Chidi has progressed, yo.
-t I agree with you on the Tequila (My favorite line in Lizzo's 'Good as Hell' is "got a bottle of tequila I've been saving for you") and the bawling. (I had to go have a cry and thinking about it now I'm about to start up again.)

"50 gallons of man in a 10 gallon hat" is such a perfect description, I died a little.
I caught the pilot of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, which is high concept as network TV comedies go. To wit: the main character is a coder in a tech company, and *something* happens to her brain when an earthquake strikes while she's getting a brain MRI. As a result, she can now hear other people's thoughts and emotions in the form of a... SONG! (I KNOW). The pilot is a bit forced in bits but I still quite liked it. Peter Gallagher plays Zoey's father who is dying of a degenerative neurological disease and cannot talk/move much, and I legit cried for several minutes when he started singing, even though I was fully expecting it to happen.
It reminded me of Wonderfalls a bit. The pilot is streaming on Youtube if you wanna check it out: [link]
Vonnie, I was disappointed when I saw the first commercials for Zoey's and realized that the music wasn't going to be original like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but then some people were comparing it to Eli Stone, which I loved. So, I might give it a chance. It's sitting on the DVR right now.
Music in the pilot were all pretty well known and older. I don't know how they are working around the music licensing fee issues -- I guess older songs may not require much? Or at all? Or maybe they don't cost if someone else is singing the songs? *scratches head*
I don't know if you have to pay for covers? I mean, there are cover bands everywhere and I can't imagine they have the money to pay. But I really have no idea.
