“Intro To Knots” Community Season 4 Episode 10 Liveblog

Singing In the Rain
The Return of Foot Fetishist Cornwallis

So here we are with episode 10, which is the season’s Xmas episode (thanks for delaying it Ennn Beee Seee.)  This week’s episode synopsis (from wiki):  Community Season 4 Episode 10 “Intro to Knots” – Jeff (Joel McHale) organizes a lovely holiday gathering at his apartment but Annie (Alison Brie) secretly invites Professor Cornwallis (recurring guest star Malcolm McDowell), to get in his good graces. When it becomes apparent that Professor Cornwallis intends to give them a bad grade on their joint History paper, the atmosphere quickly deteriorates and the group takes decisive action.

I thought last week’s muppet episode was quite entertaining especially the hallucinogenic berry scene with Brad Pitt wigged Jason Alexander (and the fact Britta was holding.)  Apparently, this is one of the episodes done after Chevy Chase’s uncomfortably racist comments and subsequent dismissal from the show.  Chevy’s lines were recorded as part of his agreement with the producers.  It’s Merry Xmas, Community fans.

Project Runway Season 11 Episode 12 Live Blog

project-runway-26Oh, hai, fashionistas and connoisseurs of “reality” television! We still have three episode of Project Runway left? This season is a lot like that old friend who comes to visit for a weekend and makes you feel every torturous minute of it. Won’t you go home, season 11 Project Runway?

Well, the remaining sewtestants (no one got booted last week, quelle surprise) are off to different parts of the globe (read: Europe) to be “inspired” by the same landmarks and tourist destinations that you saw when you went on that study abroad trip during college. Don’t ask me how they’re going to stretch this out into next week and the week after. Continue reading

“Intro To Felt Surrogacy” Community Season 4 Episode 9 Live Blog

Not A PuppetIn tonight’s episode, the Greendale Seven have become puppets and befriend a wild mountain man who looks vaguely like the mean guy from Pretty Woman and/or the insecure crazy neurotic bald guy from the show about nothing.

I thought that last weeks episode was entertaining. I did not know who Sophie B. Hawkins was till she started singing and then it was “oh right, I’ve heard of her.” This in a way partially explains why I suck at music trivia or “Guess That Tune.” Even the Abed story was fun although I have to admit that the preacher’s daughter and the quirky weirdo were quite over the top thus making the character played by Brie Larson (who many of you know from “The United States of Tara” and who I know from “The League” as the Golden Gate loving “Ohhhhhh! Pair!”) as the best choice of the three. Brie returns tonight. Continue reading

Mad Men Post-Mortem: The Doorway

Mad Men 6x1.2

“What are the events in life? It’s like, you see a door. The first time you come to it you say, “Oh, What’s on the other side of the door?” Then you open a few doors. And then you say, “I think I want to go over that bridge this time, I’m tired of doors.” Finally you go through one of these things and you come out the other side and then you realize that’s all there are: doors! And windows and bridges and gates and they all open the same way and they all close behind you.”

-Roger Sterling, Mad Men, The Doorway
