Big show! running commentary.

I know I shoulda watched at least the last few.

• Nice introduction and wrap-up for the intro … I suppose there will be a new audience.
• Opening scene, interesting scenario, cartoony presentation.
• Harvey Keitel in a commercial … for Gatorade‽
• So, Allison Janey and The West Wing exist in this world? Where did the “Bartlett for America” poster in the dressing room come from?
• I like not focusing on the “A” characters
• The juxtaposition of the … oh, they’ll blow it. Nancy Grace prop reaction.
• Wait. Where’s Matt and/or Danny. I know they respond to criticism, but this is a little much … payoff?
• Zimmerman for GE … “wind energy by GE” I can’t help but think of it cynically.
• A song featuring the words “hot like me”, in an ad for a lite beer. Mmmmm, hot lite beer.
• Ayda Field is even hotter now that she isn’t presented as hot.
• Simon gets romance? Why does that play flat? I like Simon. I’d like to see a Simon-centric storyline. Is a romance too easy?
• [local to Austin] A really pathetic “urban themed” ad for Mercedes-Benz. Oh my god. I mean, it’s like the whitest of white sought to insult the “urban” demographic. Perhaps they are marketing the E-series like they marketed the Mitsu Eclipse …
• very un-Harriet-like reaction to AJ’s SFX/props incident
• oh, the long-awaited showdown about our starring relationship. Unsatisfying, I think?
• and now the obvious resolution to the Simon storyline … why? why? I mean, really …
• New Maytag repairman … Haven’t seen that. Somewhat surprised. (Local?)
• They still do Miss Universe?
• Why are they sitting around chatting during the show‽
• I like the idea of a smart ass kid making a threat in such a reactionary way. Playing on the times, you know.
• So, the leads were not available? What else do they have to do?
• It’ll be next week, but did the dog find something? You know, under the stage?
