Friars were better
Just have to second (or third, or whatever) the notion that the roasts were much better when they were Friars club roasts. The crowd was full of old (really old, like a bunch of old Friar's club members) comedians and there was more wit to their tasteless jokes, in the Jeffrey Ross vein. And of…

Barney dancing
When you described that dancing around the torso stuff, I couldn't help but picture a purple dinosaur in mountaineer garb. Something about Barney and dancing.

but mostly
the Katrina stuff made me want to quit this show forever. Anyone else think this show has the most wooden, awkwardly paced, fake sounding family dialog of any show since Full House? They just add more angst (so much more damn angst, like a very special episode of Seventh Heaven) and superpowers.

I can't stop ranting
and then of course more captain emo which I really wish would get tired carrying around an admittedly lightweight girl at 2000 feet up. Didn't Claire's dad explain what he used to do for the company to his family? Then shouldn't she realize her dad is a man with horn-rimmed glasses who used to…

Lame!
I really wanna like Heroes, but good god, who would have thought I'd be saying I miss Hiro and Peter? Fakey O'Brogue and the Irishmen from L.A. were bad, but at least lame Irish criminal plot has some crime going on, which at least is slightly more interesting than katrina-sploitation and the opportunity to add…

Earl
Not to be a dick, but I can't feel that I need to stick up for all the Earl-haters. Being a southern person myself, I'd like to object to the idea that dislikers of this show feel like its offensive. I don't get offended whenever Maury shows inbred rednecks, and I'm not offended when Earl's brother acts like a…

Wow,
I was just listening to Ziggy Stardust this morning. That Sunny episode really acted quickly on the cultural consciousness, didn't it?

of course
Night Man the better song, but I can't stop thinking of him and Day Man fighting with karate and friendship.

Am I the only one?
As soon as my eyes opened this morning,

timing
Wow, I sure am glad that something keeps coming up to make me miss this show. I was afraid that was going to be a problem, but guess not. See there is a god.

The Wire
Wait, the Wire opens with a Tom Waits song?
Damn, I kick myself for not having netflixed that series enough as it is.

Morrisey and Newton?
Speaking as someone who doesn't like Morrisey or Wayne Newton, a blend of the two sounds great!

Dwight and Angela and Andy
Anybody else think they're going to shake up the Dwight/Angela stuff by having the man from Cornell get some attention? Seems like we got some hints of that when he said he was sorry for her cat dying. Looking like Dwight and Angela's relationship is going to have more focus than Jim and…

Except for the first HDM of course
Golden Compass would just be…the taint? For its proximity to the ass that is the rest of the series?

Golden Compass
Could indeed be awesome.
Still, hopefully it will bomb so we get one kick ass movie instead of a lame movie trilogy that started great.

Parkman
Actually I don't really mind Parkman, which on this show amounts to liking him I guess. He's the most schlub-y, which on this show full of catalog models is refreshing. We need more people like invisible guy. And to kill off any character who has ever had to brush the hair out of his eyes.

Addendum: Sentiment from characters
I take that back. Claire, the character, has evoked more sentiment from me than the embarrassment I felt for Hayden, the actress. If loathing counts. I'd gladly take a scene with both Parkman and schizo-lady having a play date with the two precocious youngsters than have to…

Dinner scene
Boy was the dialog and pacing painful, especially in the high school scenes. That dinner scene though, was there a more useless, fumbling scene in the whole show? Crap, we need five more minutes, lets just have the Bennets/Butlers sit around their dinner table. How's that chemistry? Can they come off as…
