Ah, Pacific Coast time, how I hate you.
Man, the sound for the first big number was CRAP. And speaking of crap, Shrek the Musical looks really bad.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

I was disappointed that they picked Mambo rather than America for the song to perform from West Side Story. I was really interested to hear how that one sounded in Spanish.

Both my CBS stations were plagued by different sorts of transmission problems. The frequency of which seem to be proportional to how much I want to watch a show... I don't think The Tonight Show has ever experienced technical difficulties on this cable system, but I might as well have been watching Dollhouse on Youtube through a dial-up connection.

I hadn't noticed the first time I watched, but I just read that Bret Michaels was hit on the head by a set piece during the opening number, and I just rewatched and you can see it in the second before the camera cuts over to Stockard Channing. It looks painful -- he walked right into a piece as it was being lowered, and it looked like his head snapped back.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bret Michaels? Rock of Love Bret Michaels? That's fantastic! (Not getting hit on the head, just being there.) What's he doing there?

The downfall of Broadway, aka "Rock of Ages," a new musical based around eighties metal songs, was nominated, and for the montage of nominated shows at the beginning, they had Poison do "Nothing But A Good Time."
