I refuse to watch any TV show that has more than half its characters with names ending in a vowel.

Richard is actually Edward Rutherfurd and these delightful and twinkling paragraphs are a precursor to his new historical saga about the huntsmen, smugglers, monks and witches of the magical forest known as Central Park.

I love Jessie and PC, I have to admit. He obviously has such a soft spot for her as well, although you're right, her feelings may be somewhat unrequited in their specificity. But their banter is the only thing on the show that seemed real and familiar!

Also, this little girl in an old Sesame Street segment about how to make crayons looks just like a mini-Jessie:

@Phyllis Nefler: The food in the teeth was another thing on the show that seemed real and familiar. As was being stood up at a restaurant. (weeps quietly)

It is cruel to give us these awesome recaps with the knowledge that THEY ARE CEASING AT THE END OF THIS MONTH.

@Richard Lawson: FWIW, Richard, were I Denton, I'd lash you to chair at Gawker HQ, cement your boots to the floor, and ply you with cigarettes and coffee for the rest of your days.

Yah, Richard, that moment was pretty pinnacle, but my thought was that she was trying to somehow belittle Sebastian for being a sophomore, and his lightening quick response was a veritable scalping to her ego. Sebastian is a bit more adept at handling girl-women than I'd like. Especially since he's a spastic, word-garbling, egregious oaf. I find him to be very much like Russ from European Vacation in nuance and annoyance.

Does this Camille have a boyfriend/girlfriend...a something? Or does she curl up with an LSAT book on the weekends when she's not Heatherizing (Corn Nuts!) with Kelli or wanting to maybe skin Jessi and a make a Jessi-coat to wear to her college interviews? She needs that community service project you know.

That Camille moment is precisely why I had to change the channel.

The part about Rags & the gold tooth & whisker stew is probably the best thing I have ever read.

I go by the motto that you're doing somebody a favor if you tell them about the broccoli in their teeth, or the pube on their white sweater, or the bubble gum on their ass, rather than letting them walk around the rest of the day with it. I feel a hand-written letter to Miss Manners coming on.

I loved when Sebastian had to consider the idea of "thinking" as a career. It looked like his hair was hurting from the effort.

How bizarrely hilarious was Kelli and Camille's inadvertent blackface at the spa? Those girls don't have one fucking clue.

@peperony and chease: I just loved how Kelli was so insistant on using her phone that she smeared it all off her cheeks.

I assume it's okay for me not to watch the show and just read the recaps?
