This reminded me to hunt for info on the next Low album. Turns out it's called "The Invisible Way" and it's coming out on March 19, 2013. Yay!

Unfortunately, just in terms of ratings, I don't think a 2.2 is the worst it could have done at all. The Voice got a 3.8, so that's 58% retention. These days, 50% or 40% retention isn't uncommon coming out of a very popular show. Still, we can hope a lot of people were just sampling this, and will now reject the…

This show sounds appalling. To shake our faith in humanity even further, it got a 2.2 rating in adults 18-49 last night, for #2 in the time slot behind 2 Broke Girls. That's surely an acceptable number to NBC for a cheap game show.

So you live in some bizarre alternate universe where Community gets good ratings? Is that truly the lightest universe? And nobody there has beards?

I've seen every episode and I felt a little let down too. Maybe I was expecting too much. Did the writer (James Wong) not know his Murder Santa was going to be Ian McShane? His Murder Santa's dialogue could have been crazier and funnier. It almost seemed like Criminal Minds or something, with the lame, pop-psychology…

What? You're mistaking sheer incompetence for cunning. Besides, Abi is not level-headed enough to realize she should throw a challenge like that one. She's greedy. She'd want to win. She's just hilariously terrible at challenges. And the show's editors are LOVING it!
