We've all seen this scene and heard similar words before. I think, considering the characters involved and the fact that it's Glee, this was done remarkably well. It's the sole moment that made me cry. They earned those tears. No one ever says anything particularly original in moments like this. So you're either

"If I Can't Have You" is such a simple song with a glorious, over the top arrangement. Definitely a guilty pleasure.

All guys looked gay in the 1970s. I was there.

No, that's a gay myth. Like Richard Gere sticking a gerbil up his ass. People like to assume that because she became a born-again Christian and encouraged others to accept Jesus Christ that she must have been homophobic. She knew her fan base was gay and didn't judge the orientation. Some bitter fag started a rumor

"Froyo!"

They don't all live in mansions. Claire and Phil live in nice neighborhood, but it's a three bedroom house. The two daughters have to share a room. Cam and Mitchell live in the bottom floor of a two-story duplex that they rent, not own - they're Asian landlady appeared in an episode. As for Jay and Gloria, it's been

NIce summary. Can't really quibble with these observations. The only thing I'd add is that beyond the repugnant second season storyline that wasted Alfre Woodard, the real problem was that I could always see the writers desperately (pun intended) straining to ensure that the four lead actresses had the same amount of

I just read Tab Hunter's autobiography, "Confidential," and there was indeed a huge amount of studio interference on Lafayette Escadrille. Hunter's character and the leading actress are supposed to die at the end of the film. The studio got nervous about killing the number one heartthrob in the country and ordered the

I'm recalling a fairly recent episode of The Middle in which the Heck family's neighbors asked them to watch their new car while they were away. The entire Heck family ended up driving the car (including Brick) at some point, damaging it and filling it up with garbage and then having to frantically clean it up before

I may be the only one who cares, but I would love know how she felt about playing Chandler's drag queen dad on Friends. I thought it was inspired casting.

I don't know exactly what's "pure fantasy" about Modern family. I know a gay couple raising a kid, I know an older guy who married someone younger and of a different ethnicity, and I know an upper middle class family with a couple of kids. The world is pretty diverse where I live. I think Modern Family reflects that.

Man, it's sad day when I Love Lucy unleashes an army of Internet hater pricks. You have to be a total dour asshole to dismiss the simple joys of this show.

"Pillowy soft pop." Come on, you can't even play three quarters of Pink Friday on a pop radio station.

Well, frankly, a clown IS better as a metaphor.

I have to say, watching it, I never fully believed they would go through with it. I just wanted to see how they would manage to talk themselves out of it.

As is so often the case, scenes don't particularly work out of context. You need to see the entire film to feel the true impact of a scene like this. I saw this when it was released and liked it, but then I was viewing it as a gay guy watching straight men do a dance around homosexual behavior, so it was fascinating.

I had completely forgotten that one.

Did you ask yourself what was the point of the subplot with Lane last week, where he finds the wallet in the cab and calls the number and then fantasizes about the woman who answers? Subplots like this and the cancer scare just illuminate or further define character. Also, as a little kid in the '60s I remember
