Kim Possible was pretty good. Phineas and Ferb is awesome.

Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! I love Mac and Blooregard Q. Kazoo - I'm particularly fond of the episode where Bloo pretends to be a hardboiled reporter who paces about, discussing his story and calling his side kick 'Mac,' while Mac gets increasingly frustrated because his name actually is Mac.

That clip montage was great. What a gem, that guy.

Jason Chaffetz
Jason Chaffetz is the worst my home state has to offer. He's a total fame-whore who was elected on the premise that he would deport all Mexicans or some other such nonsense. Seemingly, he spends all his time Twittering or making cutesy videos of himself sleeping on a cot in his office. Where he…

It doesn't seem like Casanova has any animosity toward Gretchen or Michael C. He probably just said it, not realizing that Gretchen would take it badly.

I was hoping the win would go to Mondo - his dress was the most transformed and interesting. Also, his Astro Boy hair.

You'd be surprised at the number of adults who read YA fiction. It's really seen a resurgence lately and some of it is even good now.

I was so glad that Mockingjay went so dark - especially the final third, like Todd mentions in the review. It's pretty grim, especially concerning the children in the story.

I came away from this episode more disgusted with Ivy than anyone else. Gretchen's meltdown was epic and Tim's reaction was well-deserved, but man, Ivy is a horrible, sycophantic beast! Her behavior toward Michael C was disgusting - she's not nearly talented enough to have so much contempt for the guy's technical…

The first time I ever saw Eric Ripert on TV, he was doing a spot on homemade baby food on the Martha Stewart Show. While he was making some kind of monkfish puree, Martha asked him if babies would really eat fish. To which he responded, in his charming French way, that "babies love feesh".

Especially compared with last season. These all seem like leftovers.

This is, after all, the show that calls its participants "cheftestants".

That is a fun fact.

I give you each a gold star and a pat on the head.

The opening group number reminded me of dance competitions from high school - lots of canon work and lots of synchronized group movement. In the context of my high school gym, it might have been great - on that huge stage and on television, it looked kind of sad.

How dare you.

Don't worry. The Soup survived the loss of Tony Danza, surely it can take the loss of Tyra.

I'm glad your English teacher included something on the syllabus that was a "gateway" book. Too often, high school kids get lost in the Scarlet Letters of the world and dismiss reading as boring (no offense to Hawthorne - I understood it better in college). And this book included mentions of some other great books,…

I'm glad almost everyone agrees that "Sing Me Spanish Techno" is awesome. Because it is.

Oh, Itchy, that so . . . sweet. Thank you.
