Do they have TV in intravenous form yet? Why not? Discuss.
Internet, I know you come here for the disgusting horrible metaphors, so let me give you one here:
You know how in order to make delicious delicious pâté, the nasty mean delicious-delicious-pâté-makers hook the poor delicious delicious geese up to a big pipe and shoot feed down their throats, force-feeding them until their delicious delicious livers are all huge and swollen and distended?¹
That is going to be me tonight, only replace "throats" with "eyes" and replace "feed-pipe" with "television." ABC and NBC have decided to cooperate and arrange all of my favorite shows on one night, in a big three-hour block. Ugly Betty! The Office! 30 Rock! Lost! SO MUCH TELEVISION! Just hook me directly to the TV, please. Or put me in some kind of tank so that I don't accidentally interact with other human beings.
At the end of the night I will roll off the couch and wonder why my liver hurts.
HONK!
¹ If you didn't know, sorry to disillusion you!²
² I am in love with footnotes today.

Oh, dear GOD! I did NOT know that was how pate was made...
However, horrific imagery aside, I'll be right there with you in our television viewing gluttony tonight!!

If TV was able to be dosed interveinously, then smell-o-vision would have been created by now.

I was just wondering if you will be multitasking while watching this TV, or if it is sooooo good you will be singletasking it? I say this because there are very few times in my day that I am singletasking, so that is the mark of me REALLY being interested in something.

I gave up cable in the hopes of avoiding such scenarios, but then got sucked into a PBS show called Carriers that's on for two hours EVERY NIGHT. Please don't tell me I have to get rid of a TV altogether...

The Neil only given the opportunity to perform just one song was definitely the suck, especially because I had to put up with 45 minutes of bad karaoke beforehand.
Ragging on Frodo, Jimmy Fallon, and Rusted Root Guy with you made it bearable, though.
"30 Rock" was subpar, but "The Office" was great. Anglea's completely lame Mad-Lib (and Andy's reactions) was maybe the highlight for me.
Did you enjoy Teh Neil? I actually watched AI just to see him. I thought he was too nice to the contestants, but then, I think he knew that they couldn't compare to him. But I didn't see last night's so I didn't see if he performed.
