If it gets the post full season pick-up order strike-induced axe (like Dirty Sexy Money apparently did), I'm going to be devastated. It's funny, unique, sly, witty, and a host of other good adjectives. And I haven't even mentioned Chenoweth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-71287228119963016472007-12-16T20:13:00.000-05:002007-12-16T20:13:00.000-05:00Nate, don't forget Sara Ramirez.JsaonNate, don't forget Sara Ramirez.<BR/><BR/>JsaonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-13998537571364984032007-12-16T00:22:00.000-05:002007-12-16T00:22:00.000-05:00In terms of Kristin Chenoweth not getting a nomina...In terms of Kristin Chenoweth not getting a nomination at the Globes, its mostly because of their ridiculous requirements for the supporting actor category which forces them to choose 5 picks from Drama, Comedy AND Mini-Series categories.

Mary Poppins was JULIE ANDREWS <I>first</I> movie. Very few people are born über famous... there's very few Liza Minellis ;). It's specific movies and roles that make actors famous.

I'm a quick addict so I plowed through the entire first season over two nights and what has come of the second season over a third night. I have admired Krakowski's scene stealing abilities since <I>Ally McBeal</I> and she has even more presence here. The cast is solid but she and Baldwin kill and this is a show that should be seen as a benchmark when it comes to using guest stars. <BR/><BR/>I'll get back to you on <I>Pushing Daisies</I> next year.WickedScorphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124962477489100493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75811129379958579742007-12-14T16:43:00.000-05:002007-12-14T16:43:00.000-05:00Loved this moment on Pushing Daisies, but I loved ...Loved this moment on Pushing Daisies, but I loved the Birdhouse in your Soul moment even more 'cause it included Ellen Greene.

No negativity! The show hasn't even aired a full season!<BR/><BR/>But I'm with you on the writer's strike mucking things up; besides the fact that I'm terribly worried its chances of even coming back will be troubled by this break, I just want its particular brand of hilarity at a constant weekly stream.

I mean JANE KRAKOWSKI passed over for a nomination at the Emmys? are they freaking insane? I routinely laugh so hard at her antics during 30 Rock that I have to surpress giggles during entire commercial breaks.<BR/><BR/>last week her 'infant jealousy' line reading on 30 Rock was one of the funniest things i've heard in my whole life.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-36891269595417302222007-12-14T14:49:00.000-05:002007-12-14T14:49:00.000-05:00Haha.
