I won't have much choice about it, because I watch Glee and Raising Hope.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Scare quotes?
I guess I could have used italics but they seem so snarky sometimes.
eta: Here's what's wrong with the Oxford comma. It's grammatical kludge. It is the unnecessary feature that keeps intruding on you in Word that you need to go spelunking through nineteen drop-downs to STOP. It is inelegant. It is frequently not necessary. It is as stodgy and dodering and slow as an Oxford Don.
It is a matter of style, not usage. When I want to clarify the list I am writing I will use an extra comma as it is needed. Otherwise, it slows the rhythm of the sentence. It creates an unnecessary visual impediment.
Ultimately it is a matter of the writer's choice, not the editor's. It is not required in all instances.

I cannot believe "The Kennedys" won an award since it barely aired at all!

I will gladly bite it hard enough to leave teeth marks which cause it to necrose and fall off.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe everyone didn't just vote Idris Elba on principle.
Again I say: TEAM DOWNTON ABBEY.
