Chris Rock will host Saturday Night Live. With Prince, no less.

I guess this will be one of the rare occasions where I don't fast-forward through the musical guest. I hope we get a Nat X sketch.

I'm still on the hook. Robin Lord Taylor is awesome as Penguin. I like Alfred. Gordon is OK. Weakest link by far is Jada Pinkett Smith.
I think Jada and Donal Logue are the worst for me. I think Logue is horrible. Maybe it's the character for both, but I think they're making it hard for me to watch.

RLT is awesome, though. If the show survives, it will be because of the villains.

Isn't it purposefully a little superhero, tongue-in-cheek corny?
I can't tell yet. And that's not good.

I feel like the Bullock character has been limited; whether that's because of Logue, the writing, or both I don't know. But I know Logue is a good actor, so I hope there's still time for Bullock to get better.

You have to watch the open to the first episode of Marry Me. Super funny. The rest of the episode is fine, too.

that article makes a good/funny point about tlc and the welfare of its "stars". they(TLC) said this:
Supporting the health and welfare of these remarkable children is our only priority. TLC is faithfully committed to the children's ongoing comfort and well being.
rumors are that they are cancelling. the mom says she isn't dating him (but did like, 10 years ago, i guess?). i kinda hate myself that while ive never seen one episode of that show, nor do i have interest, i still know who these people are.
