Miss Saigon Pryce.

La MaMa does crazy experimental theatre, not jukebox musicals using pop songs, or even slightly more serious American Idiot-type shows. I would've bought this if they had said Second Stage or some off-Broadway company like that. Well, I would've been more willing to buy this.

Just repeating what everyone else has said - this was a nigh-perfect sitcom half hour. I wish more people were watching this show, cause it's easily the most consistently good show on FOX's schedule. I even like Ashley Tisdale now, and I never thought that would be possible.

Martha Plimpton's been in musicals on Broadway, and Tony-nominated for one, FWIW.

Oh, I know that House, the character, mocks religion unceasingly. But it's rare that the show takes a stand on religion one way or the other. Religious figures are rarely (if ever) used as blatant comic relief or simply poked fun at. Usually they are presented honestly and fairly.

I'm with you - maybe last season starved me for a decent House episode, but this made me laugh, made me gasp (when she coughed blood on Chase…I wasn't expecting that), and actually made me feel something towards these characters - that last speech that House gives to Chase (which Zack, to his credit, did like) was so

And as a religious person, I like the fact that even though most (or all) of the main characters are atheists, the show doesn't go out of its way to mock people who have faith.

@avclub-f62296b9393b6ab9229ebde91ed8469f:disqus , in even older interviews, he says that he has plans for a series of 12 (!) Star Wars movies.

Assuming that you want to have children, and they want to watch Star Wars, you're going to want them to watch the originals.

Bernadette has CERTAINLY had work done. No woman looks like that naturally.

How did you get a table at Tableau? That place is harder to get into than Obvious Joke Here…the new alt-comedy club downtown.

I'm with you.

Are you looking to buy, or are you just curious?

Willie Garson was really on fire in this ep. I honestly think Mozzie is the role he will be remembered for, at this point; he's so terrific in it.

I did laugh pretty hard at "gentle mutilation" the first time.

What are the odds that you're quoting the original WB cartoon and not South Park's referencing of that cartoon? I desperately hope it's the former.

Megan Hilty?

Becky Ann Baker certainly can sing - she was in the 2004 revival of Sondheim's Assassins. I doubt that either of the Bakers will be bursting into song on this show, though.

I'm with you, she's super hot.

Well…musical theatre was pretty much always like that. Actors not getting roles in Hollywood in the 1930s would go to Broadway and land the second lead in a musical. This is also true of playwrights, to some degree - both Rebeck and Wright started off in the writers' room on TV shows, then written some plays and have
