I liked what I saw, though: it's less sentimental than I expected, what with the two broken families (although I suspect that's the point).

Yeah. Also, Alan and Celia just seem so realistic, despite their impetuous-seeming decisions. They're just people, not old people (which is realistic, but rarely well portrayed.) And I loved tonight when they just got lost laughing at Celia's daughter and SIL fighting. It has so little pretense. I think my parents will enjoy it, hope I can get it on dvd for xmas, since they aren't getting it on their PBS.

I thought she said "You rock!"

I could be wrong.

I am such an awards show sucker. Why am I staying up late to watch this? I don't even watch the shows that win most stuff.

Me too. I like the outfits and the dance numbers and to see if anyone says or does anything especially funny. But I'm probably calling out sick to work tomorrow anyway...

Damn, this choreography number is brilliant.

Rather than watch old Newhart, listen to some of his old record comedy

"I looked in the handbook index under 'unauthorized personnel' and 'people without passes' and 'apes,' and 'ape's toes,' but it's not in there...."

I love awards shows. The gowns and the live comments and the reaction shots, all of it.

Look at all the SYTYCD people!

I'm all offended on behalf of Peanut.

Oh Suzi, I like you lots and lots.

Could Stephen Colbert be cuter? I THINK NOT!

Colbert is the best.

I could be wrong.

We can both be right! (We'll never know.)

The eulogies are so personal and so sad. Edie Falco also made me cry.

Oh Suzi, I like you lots and lots.

I'm seriously putting the July series on my calendar so CJ and I can come down there.

NPH just makes me smile, no matter what he does.
