GUESS WHO NOW OWNS THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON OF COMMUNITY?

ME!

ME ME ME! Amazon was taking too fricking long to send it, so I canceled my order and went to Walmart this morning and got it for $19.96. That's about $5 cheaper than all the online sales, so that made me super happy. And oh, you guys, it was totally worth it just for the Kickpuncher comic alone. OMG, SO HILARIOUS. The Annie/Britta fans will especially enjoy it.

I have a feeling that the rest of my day will be spent watching outtakes and listening to audio commentaries.

GLEE! Glee was fun, then sad, then fun again, then sappy, then sad again. So, you know, still up to its After School Special tricks, but... I love it anyway? ESPECIALLY MIKE'S ABS, HOLY CRAP. I love Beiste, even though she was introduced through a super corny storyline, but I kind of love that the show went in the direction with her that it did. Like, you would think she wouldn't take crap from Sue and Will, and for awhile she wasn't, but then we got to see the after-effects of bullying, and I kind of love that a show about high school chose to approach the bullying storyline through the adults instead of the kids. It was just an interesting choice, and quite effective. Anyway, there was nothing all that standoutish about this ep, but I did love the very beginning and how it basically pointed out everything that the fans of the show have been saying for awhile.

I also watched Raising Hope, and as I suspected, this show is so super adorable! Not as funny as My Name is Earl was in season 1, but it's got that same sort of balance between heart-warming moments and hilariously offensive humor. There is one moment where the senile grandmother mistakes her grandson for her dead husband and frenches him and I just busted out laughing. SO GROSS YET SO DELIGHTFUL. And of course I loved every scene with the baby, because I am a sucker for such things. So, this show definitely has potential.

Running Wilde I did not expect to enjoy, but this show actually got the most laughs out of me the whole night. The premise is still pretty unappealing to me, but the humor makes up for the plot in spades. Will Arnett is perfection in this, and his neighbor was so, so hilarious. The setup of Will's character with Keri Russel's character was terribly rushed and I just could not get invested in this aspect of the show, but it's pretty much the basis for the entire plot, so uh... hopefully the show will improve there. Their chemistry is fine, it's just hard to care about their romance at this point in time, but I get that this was the pilot and they wanted to throw them together as soon as possible in order to get the real story going. But anyway, I loved the absurdist humor in this so very much, especially the pony jokes, so, I'll probably keep watching.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that last night I highly enjoyed How I Met Your Mother. Lily and Marshall made me cry! They made me cry! The show hasn't managed to do that since season 2, I think. Maybe season 3. That episode was just so utterly fantastic and reminiscent of the HIMYM of old, where it makes me laugh ridiculously hard one minute and burst into tears the next because I love these people so much. I think the emotional attachment to the characters is what was missing during season 5.
