Tonight’s episode of GLEE was no “Preggers” (and few things ever will be) but it was one hell of a cramazing episode in its own right!
I don’t really have time to recap the episode or write up some big gushy love fest because believe me I could go on and on about GLEE but I had to quick get my giddy as a school girl lovey dovey sensation into blog form before my trip.
This show is just so damn fresh and entertaining that sometimes my mouth hurts way before I realize I’ve been inadvertently smiling like a fool!
How could I not love an episode that involved Kristin Chenoweth (PUSHING DAISIES R.I.P.), a killer CABARET duet between Cheno and Lea Michele, and songs from both Heart and Queen? Brills!
But the real reason I wanted to write something is because of the killer line they gave Emma this week.
She tells Will a story about how she looked up an old high school flame named Andy and how it went terribly wrong… Everything was fine then she broke it off and two weeks later Versace was dead.
Almost instantly, I shit my pants at the horribly genius pop culture reference!
The fact that Emma was partially responsible for Versace’s death is one of the most perfectly wrong things I’ve ever heard in my life! If you’re scratching your head, still not getting the joke then hit the google. Andrew “Andy” Cunanan was responsible for the murder of Gianni Versace on the steps of his Miami mansion in 1997.
I tip my hat to you and your twisted writing staff GLEE!
Here’s the cast of GLEE doing Queen’s “Somebody to Love”

My buddy Scooter McGavin has once again come up with a great poll for TV Bloggers to participate in. This time we were tasked with coming up with our Favorite TV Duos (couples, partners, friends, enemies, etc.) from the current 2008/09 season.
After some major Snapple Abacus action, here is the list we came up with.
TV’s Top 25 Duos (2008/09 Season)
1. Coach Eric and Tammy Taylor (Friday Night Lights)
2. Liz Lemon and Jack Donagy (30 Rock)
3. Sheldon Cooper Ph.D. and Penny (The Big Bang Theory)
4. Jim Halpert and Dwight Shrute (The Office)
5. Patty Hewes and Ellen Parsons (Damages)
6. “Bones” and Special Agent Seeley Booth (Bones)
7. Emerson Cod and Olive Snook (Pushing Daisies)
8. Blair Waldolf and Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl)
9. Shawn Spencer and Burton “Gus” Guster (Psych)
10. Chuck Bartowski and Special Agent Sarah Walker (Chuck)
11. Sam and Dean Winchester (Supernat ural)
12. Marc St. James and Amanda Tannen (Ugly Betty)
13. Barney Stinson and Ted Mosbey (How I Met Your Mother)
14. Bill Adama and Laura Roslin (Battlestar Gallactica)
15. Landry Clark and Tyra Colette (Friday Night Lights)
16. Ben Linus and John Locke (Lost)
17. John “J.D.” Dorian M.D. and Dr. Christopher Turk (Scrubs)
18. Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton (True Blood)
19. Jeff Patel and Lester Barnes aka Jeffster (Chuck)
20. James “Sawyer” Ford and Juliet Burke (Lost)
21. Homer and Marge Simpson (The Simpsons)
22. Bill Adma and Saul Tigh (Battestar Galactica)
23. Richard Cypher and Kahlan Amnell (Legend of the Seeker)
24. Earl and Randy Hickey (My Name Is Earl)
25. Michael Westen and Fiona Glenanne (Burn Notice)
I’ve gotta say that I’m pretty surprised by some of these picks, especially some of the rankings. Homer and Marge? Really folks? Welcome to 1989! How do you choose Barney and Ted as a combo? Sure I love love love me some HIMYM and I wanted to include Barney and someone but really there’s no good pick. He’s awesome with everyone but no single character is better with him than others… that’s just my opinion. Sookie and Bill? Honestly? Legend of the Seeker? Why not pick Xina and her dykey friend Gabriella? Makes no sense to me.
For full disclosure, here’s my Top 10 list:
1. Bill Adama and Laura Roslin (Battlestar Galactica)
2. Coach Taylor and Tami Taylor (Friday Night Lights)
3. James “Sawyer” Ford and Juliet Burke (Lost)
4. Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy (30 Rock)
5. Michael Westen and Fiona Glenanne (Burn Notice)
6. Booth and Bones (Bones)
7. Patty Hewes and Ellen Parsons (Damages)
8. Sheldon Cooper and Penny (The Big Bang Theory)
9. Emerson Cod and Olive Snook (Pushing Daisies)
10. Casey Cartwright and Frannie Morgan (Greek)
I know what you’re thinking… where the hell are Sam & Dean Winchester?! The truth is that they didn’t even cross my mind. Not once did my boys pop into my head and that makes me sad. I honestly would put them in the Top 5 but I spaced – sorry SPN boys and girls, I’m totally embarrassed. I’m also sad I didn’t include The Doctor and Donna (DOCTOR WHO), Capt. Jack and Ianto (TORCHWOOD) or even Trainer’s Bob and Jillian (THE BIGGEST LOSER). Given a Top 25 I would have included more choices and if I thought about my Top 10 a little better, it would be somewhat different but what can ya do?
How about you guys? Which TV Duos would make your list for the 2008/09 TV Season?
The TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky is back and we’ve got a crazy amount of stuff to talk about. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA revealed it’s 5th Cylon, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS returns with some hot Riggins action, DAMAGES still blows our minds, PRIVILEGED begins to get lazy, and GREY’S ANATOMY slips on the “Stairway to Heaven”.
PUSHING DAISIES creator and all around swell guy Bryan Fuller was kind enough to share an exclusive snippet of the PUSHING DAISIES series finale (“Kerplunk”) with ThePieMaker.com!
We hope everyone got some great TV goodies over the holidays because we sure did. Kath and I talk about what TV Boyfriends were under their trees, what TV presents they got and even fill you in on some of the things keeping them apart for the last 6 weeks.
There’s news to be had, Christmas CHUCK to rehash, the demise of PUSHING DAISIES to cry about, PRIVILEGED to complain about, GOSSIP GIRL to gossip about and did I mention that we’ve both seen the first two hours of LOST Season 5! Sorry, had to throw that in just be to bitchy…
You asked what we thought of all the new and returning shows that will fill our winter and spring with good cheer and discontent and we’ve answered.
We’ve got screeners galore to chit-chat about… DAMAGES, THE CLOSER, UNITED STATES OF TARA, TRUST ME, 24 and more. We even touch on some shows that don’t have air dates like CUPID and BETTER OFF TED.
Well, the disintegration of PUSHING DAISIES has begun. The first casting coup to report is Olive Snook herself, Kristin Chenoweth, has been snatched up by legal drama guru David E. Kelley to headline his new show LEGALLY MAD.
In “Legally Mad,” Chenoweth is set to play Skippy Pylon, a cheerful and brilliant attorney who nonetheless exhibits flashes of psychosis — and enjoys being mistaken for a teenager.
“I’ve wanted to work with her for a long time and can’t wait to reveal her as someone who’s completely mad,” Kelley said.
“Legally Mad,” which is set at a Chicago law practice, reps the first major project to come out of Kelley’s deal with Warner Bros. TV, which is producing the show.
It’s also a quick return to primetime for Chenoweth, who until recently starred in ABC’s critically acclaimed but short-lived “Pushing Daisies.”
I’m excited for Cheno but I’m sad that one of my favorite TV ensembles is being broken apart…
The TV Talk Podcast with GMMR and Ducky finally tackles more of your listener and reader questions!
First up we tackle the mid-season shows we’re looking forward to (including returning faves): Dollhouse, Cupid, Castle, Leverage, Truth in Advertising, Lost, 24, Battlestar Galactica, Damages, Nip/Tuck.

Want to know the fate of Scrubs and The CW’s Reaper and if/when they’ll return? We’ve got the scoop.
What about the DirecTV/NBC split of the amazing Friday Night Lights – are we watching and if so what do we think? First of all, don’t question our loyalty to the Dillon Panthers; Second, just listen.
How did our favorite shows hold up during November sweeps? We’ll cover everything from Heroes to Chuck, Supernatural to The Office so get ready for our picks of the best and worst of fall sweeps, stunts and special guests.
This week Pushing Daisies was canceled – Kath and I give our thoughts. RIP!
So what else could we possibly talk about? Is scaredy-cat Kath watching HBO’s True Blood? What’s the deal with the Arrested Development movie? Why is Tricia Helfer the go-to-gal for guest starring roles and oh sweet lord, why does Britney’s have another reality show?
Last but not least we have another game for you all to play along with at home! This episode we’re breaking hearts and creating our most interesting ’ship!

Then we move onto How I Met Your Mother’s wedding debacle, our feelings about Stella and a possible baby on the way. Gossip Girl is next and seriously, you know you love it as much as we do – xoxo! What about Chuck and Nicole Richie kicking some ass? We’ll cover it, don’t worry!
Kath and I chat about what could possibly be one of the last Pushing Daisies episodes to ever air before moving onto the night we all know you’re waiting for…
Thursday is the night we know you love most so first up is The Office then SNL Thursday night specials and we finish up the night with Supernatural.
We end this week’s podcast talking about the phenomenal Mad Men Season 2 finale.
