You know a show is really great when 30 minutes of on-air time just doesn’t do them justice. I’m absolutely loving Mindy Kaling’s recent webisodes for The Office — here’s the music video for “Male Prima Donna.” One small warning though, it’s definitely going to get stuck in your head.
For any Firefly fans, check out Nathan Fillion’s Halloween costume on Castle this week. Space cowboy!
Cutest picture of JennaJohn/JimPam! The headlines on the right look very NBC-esque, which is quite appropriate for this duo. Not sure if the celeb death story works with this particular cover, but I guess EW has to get these off the shelves.

Separated at birth: Idina Menzel (left) and Lea Michele (right).
Glee is a new show on FOX (with Lea Michele) from the creator of Nip/Tuck and Popular, which got me excited even before I watched the pilot. The premiere was pretty good, and it gives me back the glimmer of TV hope that has been fading with every episode of Scrubs, Grey’s, The Office, HIMYM… and the list goes on.
The choir dork in me was beaming with every a capella transition, and it’s impossible not to get pumped up by a great rendition of a Journey song. If you like music and optimistic high school dramadies, give it a try! Let’s just hope FOX doesn’t EFF this series up like they usually do.
My latest celebrity crush — Jon Hamm. Hated him in 30 Rock, but he’s amazing in Mad Men. And he’s so beautiful!
There are a lot of reasons why I love television, but here are two that I’ve been mulling over recently.
1. TV puts real life in perspective.
Shit doesn’t happen in real life, it happens on TV. Okay, so that’s an exaggeration, obviously. But still — no matter what problems you’re facing, at least you didn’t just find out that your boyfriend is your half-brother, nor are you sleeping with the hallucination of your ex-fiance. SEE! Perspective.
2. Watching TV is an exercise of faith.
I think that one of the most interesting things about watching TV is that you get to see everything. You see every character in all the scenes, and sometimes you even get to hear their thoughts.
That kind of faith doesn’t happen so easily in real life, and it’s such a luxury to have the comfort of knowing things will work out in the end. People always tell you that “everything will be fine,” but I don’t believe it til I see it. And in the lives of people on the telly, I can see it all the time! So watching TV is good practice in keepin’ the faith because it reminds me that we really aren’t meant to know everything that’s to come in our own lives.
In all seriousness, I think the latter explains why we all need religions, fate, and karma. Because if they don’t exist, it means there are no directors, writers, or viewers connecting the dots for us and ensuring the neatly packaged finale we all want in the end.
Or maybe I just watch too much TV.
