important teevee things

So, I was really nervous when Variety gave a bad review to the first two episodes of Glee, but I really enjoyed it tonight, though it was far from perfect. Still: "I don't menstruate." "Me neither." LOLOL. Totally shipping Finn/Rachel and Will/Emma like the good canon shipper that I am, and the final musical number was heartbreaking. And the school assembly number was hilarious and embarrassing. Hee. Now I need to find some icons....

Secondly, I am really boggled that Ellen DeGeneres is replacing Paula Abdul as the fourth judge on American Idol. I don't really see how enjoying listening to music makes you an expert, and I'm pretty sure she'll never give constructive criticism. At least Paula managed to pull out some coherent advice once in a while. And I love her but I'm concerned she'll step all over my boy Seacrest. Plus the live shows are going to be dangerous because she rambles so much. I don't know, we'll see.

In brighter Ellen news, I love this video of her dancing with the SYTYCD top ten. She does a great job!

I watched ANTM, think there are some girls with potential there but they will never get actual real modeling work because they're too short, so why are we bothering with this again? Oh yeah, so Tyra can feel good about herself. Right.

In other TV news, yelling out "You Lie" in the middle of the President of the United States' address to Congress, INSIDE the Congressional chamber, is tacky tacky tacky. Asshat.

I think I need to write some stuff for my awesome [livejournal.com profile] bsg_100 prompt because obviously no one else will. Makes me sad that comm never quite got off the ground. Oh wells.

Ellen's daytime show will now be a 60 minute commercial for her night job from January until May. It is the perfect hire because she brings in her own promotional machine.

What the hell was that? The whole wacky townhall vibe moves into the halls of government? Geez. The head of the South Carolina Republicans said the "You Lie" yeller was more embarrassing to the state than their cheating on his wife governor.
