Oh.  Well, I clearly wasn't paying enough attention.  I stand corrected.

For what it's worth, I don't think anyone on the show ever actually called it a charity (which is good since, as @drdarke:disqus points out, it actually isn't one). I think that's just a word that Genevieve chose for the review.

Did they send me daughters when I asked for sons?

I totally agree.  There have been similar initiatives to this, like the Streetwise project in Chicago where homeless people sell the Streetwise newspapers on the sidewalks, but the problem with those is that the newspapers are a really terrible product.  They're poorly written and made up almost entirely of ads.  I…

I'd imagine that it's partially due to actually being in the audience and seeing it live.  There can be an energy about that- there's a crowd warmup that gets people going, you're feeling the exhilaration of watching everyone rush by to get the sets up and hit their marks on time, the people doing these silly things…

Well, besides the fact that it's never actually been confirmed that he had the surgery, here are my counterpoints:

I don't know.  I see where you're coming from, but to me it happened so much last night that it moved from being about the unpredictability of live shows in general to the unprofessionalism and lack-of-having-one's-shit-together of this live show in particular.

@avclub-ff7aecbe291915ce04683c69191c38cb:disqus , I don't buy this argument about them being open to litigation. They make fun of plenty of things that are or potentially will be on trial. They've mentioned the Sandusky case, for example. Or Casey Anthony. Those are just two recent ones that immediately spring to…

I'm betting pay also has something to do with it.

I like how it says that you edited this comment, and yet it's still full of nonsensical strings of words.

Totally agree on the Limbaugh sketch.  I would've liked to see them move away from the sponsor jokes and into something more biting about the actual controversy.  I'm sure they wanted to avoid getting too preachy about women's rights, access to birth control, etc, but there's a way to make some edgy and pointed jokes…

Look, I get that it's not that big of a deal.  It just bugs me because I don't understand what the point is if you're not going to include the whole article.

I wondered about this too. My first thought was, how did this get published? I mean, did they get along in the end? And regardless, who looked at the end result and formed the idea to publish their dialogue and as its own piece? And yes, how much of that dialogue was then edited for factual accuracy and/or artistic…

So, why is it that the "What Else Is On?" section doesn't come with the newsletter? I really liked the idea of getting "What's On Tonight?" sent to my email ecause it's a lot more convenient than searching for the article here every day. But since I like scanning the last section to see if anything unique or…

Let's see what happens when Mad Men and Breaking Bad come back. I could be wrong, but I don't think MM's been on the air since they started using Disqus. BB might've been, but I don't think it was for its entire season. I would be surprised if at least one of them doesn't have a larger following on this site than The…

I was confused about this too, but upon re-watch caught the detail that the empowerment lady wasn't a consultant, but had actually just bought their show (or maybe their whole network, I'm not sure.)  So she is now their actual boss, but has so many other ventures on her plate that she's appointed this guy to be the…

@drdarke:disqus : I like that idea a lot.  I can really see that type of confrontation being a good turning point in their relationship.  Let's get Theresa Rebeck on the phone, pronto.

I agree with @avclub-d8dda79582b3de3e7ee1f3f92af93ea5:disqus , the rehearsal scenes are quite accurate.  I love all the little details, even down to the tables.  It seems like every rehearsal space in NYC has those exact white tables.  The calling of fives and tens, the stage manager in the background, etc, it all…

I'm super sad about how they've used Brian D'Arcy James (the actor playing Julia's husband) to this point.  He's a musical theatre actor, for god's sake, and he's got an amazing voice!  (Check out the cast recording of "Next to Normal"- where he also plays the dad- and you'll see what I mean.)  Why cast him a part…
