I went to an upscale private school (day school, not boarding, and co-ed), and there were, indeed, Asians and black people there- not more than the public school I went to (this was Philadelphia), but enough that they made up their demographic share or more. (My graduating class had about 75 students, and there were,…

I'm pretty sure the other groups did multiple songs, as well- we just didn't see them. Both Mr. Schuester and The Magical Homo referred to "set lists" in the lead-up to the competition.

Why is it so hard to conceive that Lauren could be developed as a character? Is it only black chicks who are allowed to be fat and have personalities?

Agree 100% regarding Sue. They need to either find a more plausible motivation for her character or they need to send her off Nazi hunting.

I often say watching Glee is like being an abused spouse…
and yesterday's episode, which I think was the best of the season so far, actually supports my theory. Because I watch an episode like this— which actually had me grinning during the performances (of songs I don't recognize); was emotionally honest (thank God…

In the works? My friend, two have already been produced. And the one that made it to Off-Broadway was actually very good- a hell of a lot better than this abortion appears to be.

My Big Fat Gay Wedding
I think a lot of the issue with this show, and what makes it so inconsistent and self-contradictory at times, is the fact that the writers have no sense of pacing storylines. Certain plots are absurdly compressed and then kept in mothballs until it becomes useful to refer to them, and then…

I know it's a tv show…
And I know that it isn't going for reality, but am I really the only person who is getting increasingly annoyed by the apparently limitless special effects and costume budget the show choir has, despite not being able to afford federally-mandated handicapped transportation? I mean, who exactly…

The next time I speak with Chris Colfer, I, too, will mention IdiotKing. Not to tell him that he's his future husband, of course, but to explain to him the procedures for taking out a restraining order.

Oose: "Nowadays" wasn't in the original musical? That would be news to Gwen and Chita- youtube it. (I think you're thinking of "I Move On." But yes, it was really silly- it's not like it would ever be a contender for regionals, what with two singers who barely sing- but then, I'm looking for plausibility in a show…

Wow- that was great. Thanks for that.

It was odd seeing Paltrow on a small screen- I was never fond of her nor did I care enough to hate her (though the whole oblivious-to-nepotism act really irritates the hell out me), but I found myself looking at her in a different way that wasn't entirely pleasant. For one thing, I had never realized before that she…

Completely off the topic…
but I'm new to the AV Club boards and, am I missing something, or is there seriously no way to subscribe to comments or a comments feed?

"Teabagger Vance."

Agreed- he looks and sounds like the unholy offspring of Floyd Pepper and Janice.

Is there actually any evidence that he works in the "industry?"- he reminds me of half the people I know in New York who insist that they've hung out with so-and-so at such-and0-such despite having no apparent source of income beyond folding sweaters at Abercrombie and the occasional Mommy-gram.
