When Max delivers his "not loving her down here…" line about the ex, Cuthbert had a great and subtle moment where she's the only one at the table who's into it. 

I am really really hoping all your posts will be in character as "that horse from '2 Broke Girls'." 

I know it seems overly familiar after all these years, but I urge anyone who hasn't heard it recently to go listen to the full version of the "Cheers" theme song and marvel at the lyrics of the second verse.  http://www.youtube.com/watc…  Not to ruin the surprise, but it involves the phrase "and your husband wants to

The greatest McKinley High production.  Last year was a canceled, terrible production of "Rocky Horror".  Two years ago, a canceled, seemingly one-woman production of "Cabaret".  This was a rousing success almost by default, but rest assured that next season Schue will take over directing again and they'll do "Best

Rory's one-line Irish Latino act was glorious.  Good use of supporting character without driving the joke into the ground.

There's a new French film called "Nobody else but you" (original title "Poupoupidou") that's a lot of fun and plays with the Monroe legend.  It's a murder mystery about a regional cheese spokesperson whose life somehow mirrors Marilyn's.  It's only playing film fests at the moment but it might be getting US

Parilla is great, I've liked her since "Swingtown".

Any theories out there about the timeline logistics?  I feel like I don't understand the terms of the curse.  If the town is stuck in time, that presumably means these characters aren't aging - as evidenced by Emma meeting her mom as a young woman.

I think tonight was better than a C minus, although I can see why people might be irritated.  The low-rent vibe is kind of working for me, although I can't really explain why just yet and it's almost certainly unintentional on their part.  But I even liked the weird troll mask design.

Related question about their attempts at subtlety: which would be more annoying in the long run, Grimm never seeming to figure out which fairy tale his cases are direct lifts from, or giving him a line in every episode where he actually says, "Hey, this is a lot like Goldilocks" just to make sure we get it?

Oh, and I'm already uncomfortable with the logic of "shoot anything that's a FreakyFace" that the show seems to be embracing.  Not only because they keep turning back into people afterwards, which is going to leave Officer Dimm with a pretty questionable record in a hurry, but also because of how absolute it is.  Plus

I was hoping they'd keep the Aunt around for an unreasonable number of episodes, drifting in and out of comas every episode to give more vague exposition.  In the scene where she asks "Do you remember what I told you?" the correct response should have been "Wait, which part?  Probably?"

The joykill is this show weekly reminding me of a utopian, alternate Chicago where food trucks are relatively unlegislated and roam free.

That menu is a little pricey for Chicago.  Also, food trucks are not that easy to come by here, although they've recently started to become a little more common.  Midwest Verisimilitude Police, over and out.

She's going to be the subject of elaborate TV continuity conspiracy theories some day, like the "St. Elsewhere" kid and the overlapping shows.  She guests on so many sitcoms, and a shocking number of them find an excuse for her to play the uke.

Yeah, that shot of Gladys on an alleged NYC street made it look like he lived on the set of "Little Shop of Horrors".

I don't want to pile on since I still like the show, or at least want to, but I wonder if what we're seeing with "Glee" this season is an attempt to respond too much to the criticisms from last year.  They picked a weird time to try to become a Quality Drama, and a weirder way to do it - by slowing the plot way, way

Yeah, I like Matt Besser as much as the next comedy dork, but the age difference between him and Wilson would be a problem if he wasn't in costume.  (I'm not trying to be mean - imdb says there's a 13 year gap there.)

So Frances Conroy is the new go-to performer for unsettling alter ego that only certain people can see? (Come, join me in the small portion of the venn diagram that denotes "People who watch both 'HIMYM' and 'American Horror Story'".)

They may have been mocking it, but they made having a vision board party look like a lot of fun.  Remind me to save my magazines for a while, internet.
