    @Foster Kamer: It was a quaint slice of life that illuminated the moral ambiguities of the talk show world while asserting an undertone of fertile insouciance? I don't know. If it doesnt' have a talking pig, I don't get it.

    @Atilla the Bun: Not only is the joke is a repeat. The sketch is repetitive. It follows the same formula : tension, arguing, someone attempts to leave and more arguing. It's like the this sketch is so bad the writers and actors choose not to remember but they writers are so bad they create the same bad sketch.

    Has anyone been watching Heroes this season? I've been skipping it because it's on at the same time as two other shows I watch, but is it worth trying to catch up online or should I just let it go?

    @DahlELama: I've been wondering the same thing. Couldn't fit it into by Tivo schedule, but I was going to download this season thus far off of itunes but don't know if it's worth it. I could probably watch just to see Sylar/Z.Q. brood, but doesn't he have someone else's face this season?

    @DahlELama: Skip it. I've been an on and off fan since the start, but damned if I can figure out what the point -- the overarching goal or conflict -- is this year. Mild girl-on-girl action only goes so far (so to speak), and though I like the carny characters, there's reallly too much HRG.

    JGL worked with Jane Curtin. She should show up tonight. But she's probably fast asleep.

    I'm already searching for funny 3rd Rock clips to pass the time.

    Speaking of third rock though, do you watch Dexter? John Lithgow is deliciously creepy this season.

    We get it. JGL and several SNLers have musical ability, and can change costumes quickly. However, this ≠ funny.
