totally called it

In this week's episode of Glee, the glee crew were going to sing a song to Quinn & Finn, and I knew it was going to be Lean on Me. (Yeah, not really such a big deal, but it made me happy to be right!)


Such a great song. I want to teach it to the kids.

And (one of) my favorite thing(s) about Glee is how unabashed it is in its own hokeyness.

Here's another fabulous song:

SNL

Saturday Night Live today was unusually funny. We tuned in because Feist was performing, but the whole show was hilarious. Brian Williams was the guest host, and it was fun to see him in a different environment. But our favorite part was a Publisher's Clearing House skit where they showed past (fake) winners, and one woman ran out her door and grabbed a shrub out of its pot and shook it around while screaming, "MONEY!!!" If I knew my way around the digital video world better, I'd find it and share it with you. Maybe David will find it later.

And I do, really truly love Feist. In a platonic, music-appreciation sort of way, of course. She rocks.

somthing to smile about

My three favorite shows premiere this week. HOUSE is tomorrow, followed by Ugly Betty & Smallville on Thursday. We watched a few episodes of The Office this summer in reruns, since everyone and their dog seems to list it as one of their favorites, and while it was funny, I didn't love it. Plus it's on Thursday nights, at 7 I think, and we are already scrambling to record/watch Smallville & Ugly Betty, which are unfortunately on at exactly the same time. And I think I've become so accustomed to the hour-long format, that a half hour show doesn't seem to go anywhere (but I still love Simpsons, which isn't supposed to go anywhere). I also watched 30 Rock, which had some good funny, but again, not enough to knock anything else out of the lineup.

However, I do have a complaint about the season finales of each of my shows: either a character was killed/near death, or fired and not supposed to return by the end of the finale. I'm sure that has afflicted my subconscious all summer long, having such unresolved fictitious stress to deal with.
