However, part of the "Mindy is surrounded by dudes" conceit that works is that it makes her my-life-is-a-romantic-comedy persona stand out really starkly as strange.

What about a Trixie Belden series? A girl-detective procedural aimed at young adults, maybe on ABC Family. In my fantasy life, it would be a period piece set in the early 50s.

Robert Aspirin's "Myth" series. It could basically be a workplace comedy, except it hops between a bunch of different dimensions and is populated by wizards, demons, trolls, etc.

That was one of the things that hit me after seeing Before Midnight—Jesse and Celine are so fortunate in many ways (enough money, fulfilling careers, beautiful healthy kids), but have the same issues in their marriage any other couple might have.

When I meet a married couple who work together, I always wonder what they talk about at home.

In that vein, I'd like to be in Boo's family from Bunheads. Sure there are too many kids, but the parents seem really cool.

I can't decide between two: it seems like it would be fun (if decidedly weird) to either be Bobby and Jules Cobb (from Cougar Town)'s kid, or one of the Shays on Suburgatory.

Although they're hilarious to watch, I would NOT want to be related to Frank, Dennis, or Dee Reynolds.

Re: number from the actual show—that really bugged me. I know they've already done a couple numbers from Funny Girl on Glee, but in what universe does it make sense to audition for a revival of a mid-1960s B'way musical with pop songs from the 80s and 90s?

I laughed my ass off at the Classy, Sexy, Elegnace sketch ("Oh HECK to the hell yeah."), but I often like the last or second-to-last sketch of the night best.

And for Joan to hiss back, "Your hair…looks…stupid!"

Also, I thought at some point the show would acknowledge that scapegoating someone at work invariably makes that person worse at their job (I always assumed that was why Jerry couldn't do anything right), but apparently not.

If they stick around, I kind of like Steven and Wan'Er as additions to the Suburgatory universe.

I was thinking the other day, Linda Cardellini is playing a woman w/ college-age kids and on another show, Busy Phillips is playing a woman in a relationship *with* a college-age kid. Trippy.

THANK YOU, I couldn't remember his character's name to look him up on IMDB.

Yeah, I kinda thought they were going that direction too. If it hadn't been an open-casket funeral I'd say he could come back later.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a "separating the artist from the art" discussion on Glee. It might be interesting to see that as the theme for an episode at some point.

Yeah, I'm not sure current HS kids would even be familiar enough w/ the Spice Girls to know they should be a guilty pleasure. Also, NOBODY outside of people in their 30s would make a Small Wonder joke, right? A show that was in syndication from 85-89??

YES! I know they hack every song to bits, but come on, it's a story song. It's like doing "A Boy Named Sue" and leaving out the verse where the narrator actually meets his dad!

I'm a straight chick and I agree with you, Marley has never looked hotter than when she was dressed as Posh Spice.
