SB rating was insane. I bet FOX was disappointed that Glee didn’t get much of a ratings bump from it.

Also, loved the ending of Friday Night Lights. I’m glad the show was able to survive the horrible season 2 and bounce back with 3 great seasons. This show could’ve easily been cancelled after season 1, instead we got 5 seasons.

I love that my question got answered! I had heard Grant say he was into Doctor Who & I was just interested in hearing him explain his reasons.

PS: My last name is pronounced as two syllables: “Eck- (as in Echo) es (as in the Spanish “es”). I don’t blame Randy for saying it wrong, in fact it is a running gag in my family that nobody can pronounce it correctly even though it is said the same as it is written. My Dad actually has given up correcting people & people at work & is called “Mister X” even just putting a big “X” on things when they want him to sign things.

My favorite joke in that ep of “Community” was in the middle of Neil discovering the origin of “Fat Neil”.. betrayed by Jeff. “Why didn’t you call him skinny Neil?” “He’s not that skinny.” “He was black.” “I don’t see the world through that lens.” — I had to pause it and laff in astonishment about that joke AND it’s placement.

A foreign show worth checking out is season one of “ReGenesis”. Later seasons aren’t as good. I dunno what the correct descriptor is.. bleeding edge science that’s nearly scifi. Anti-terror lab protecting us from bio-terrorism. And it’s really only Canada.. they’re barely foreign.

There’s a “Big Bang Theory” w/o laugh track vid on youtube, and it was painful to watch (not unlike the show w/ the laugh track).

Question: Do you think a behavior like “wait for trade” in comics will affect TV production? Wait for DVD. (It’s why I don’t have the premium chans)

I normally have a hot/cold relationship with television comedies so I’ve never really put time into watching them but I just started watching Community because of all the recommendations here and on LEOG and I am loving it way more then I thought I would! I’m still catching up from the beginning but I am seriously committed to watching and am deeply indebted to everyone for showing me what I was missing.
