@The Quirk - I, too, watched The Wire last night. I just completed season 3, which was the best of the 3 I've watched.

Is Cuddy's hair supposed to be a symptom of her busy baby life? The woman is looking awful.

Disneyland

What is there to say about this show?
I've watched the last 3 episodes, and there just isn't much to say about it. Everyone seems doomed to continue down their paths of emotional destruction. I suppose that's the point of the show, though. People don't go to a therapist because things are going well. It would be nice…

Will "The Amazing Race" be added to TV Club tomorrow? Please and thank you.

The only flaw
All in all, I top-notch episode, but I can't imagine anyone in high school, let alone in anyone in high school in Dillon, going to a Decemberists concert. Save the superhip music shout-outs for the Gilmore Girls.

Restaurant TV
There was a behind-the-scenes restaurant sit-com just last year (albeit briefly) on Fox. I think it was called Kitchen Confidential, after Bourdain's book. And don't forget classics like It's A Living, Alice, and Three's a Crowd!

Do I have to hate everyone on TV?
Hell's Kitchen is the guiltiest of my guilty pleasures so an hour of Gordan Ramsey yelling at actual restaurant professionals is tantalizing to me. Then last night's episode happened. Gordon was pretty good so I have to fault the producers for casting a restaurant with such a…

First Time Long Time
I'm an ANTM fan from way back ("cycle" 2), and I hate what this show has become. Way back when, the producers would choose 13 women who included at least a few with a glimmer of hope for a modeling career. Now it's nothing but sob stories, bitches and bitches with sob stories. Then we get 13…

Albums vs. Songs
bee thousand and Alien Lanes are the best GBV albums. Earlier and later works have great individual songs, though (well, one great song in the case of Universal Truths).
