Livin' Just To Find Emotion

As a follow-up to my earlier post, this spring's TV finale season also contained something a little different - Fox chose to air one of their fall pilots after American Idol the other day. If you are reading this, stop right now, go to iTunes, and download the pilot episode of Glee. When have I ever steered you wrong? Go on, I'll wait.

OK, if you still need to be convinced, watch this and tell me it's not one of the greatest things ever. I can't stop watching this video. And if that makes me a dork, then so be it.



See? Awesome! And, you wouldn't think it could get any better, but apparently Kristin Chenoweth and Victor Garber are going to be appearing on it later in the fall. Kathy's already mad at me because I got her hooked on this show; be cool like us and watch it!

I'm One Of the Drunk Ones!

As you all well know, May is one of my favorite months of the year. Pretty weather, the pool opens (the pool I pay for, not the pool that pays me), and also, the end of the TV season. You wouldn't think this would excite me - after all, it means no new network primetime shows of value until at least September - but season finales are usually pretty awesome. This year was no different - 30 Rock, which is easily one of the greatest network shows on air right now, closed their season with a music video. A fantastic music video, which Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) has organized to try to find a kidney donor for his father, Milton Green (Alan Alda). While it's pretty funny in its own right, one can not truly understand its awesomeness unless they have seen its inspiration. Note the death look that Paul Simon gives Kenny Rogers (not Michael McDonald, as I had stupidly originally written), the Lionel Richie thumbs up, and the generally stoned look that a sweatshirted Diana Ross wears throughout the video:



Now that you have been enlightened, I give you.....Kidney Now!
