Almost no Jane Lynch in this episode sucks, but Kristin Chenoweth was great.  Also, I'm pretty sure that Chris Klein has to crouch in every shot because he's about 5 feet taller than everyone else.

You're a jackass.

I'm not sure I can get with this show. It's funny enough at times, and often the comedy is surprisingly sly. I'm just not sure how many of these Auto-Tuned musical numbers I can really handle.

I do appreciate that they named Stephen Tobolowsky's character Ryerson, though. (According to IMDb, he also played the character Mitch Myerson in Single White Female. Fun fact!)

That fact is no fun at all.  Liar.

Yeah, the comedy is definitely better than I had expected ("We'll get you sobered up. And find you some underwear."), but the musical numbers can be hit-or-miss.  Some are really good and the performers actually appear to sing, but there also some terrible lip-synching numbers, too.  Tonight's episode had too many of those.

Kristin Chenoweth was in tonight's?  You probably just sold Dubbs on this show.

About halfway through the pilot I realized the show was created by the guy who made Popular ... same themes, but not quite the same level of pure insanity yet.  It's a v. funny, silly show.  Like Stew said, it's not exactly subtle, but I'll watch this thing until it's canceled midway through its second season.
M'lady.

The karaoke bit was terrible.  I'm pretty sure the entire cast actually sings on this show, and the girl who plays Rachel was on Broadway, but some of the musical bits are just awful, awful.  See: "Gold Digger"

You understand they wanted to use this song as situational music while showing a montage of the teacher's wife, right?

Will's wife wasn't in a single shot during that karaoke bit.  Or are you referring to "Gold Digger"?  If so, I was just saying that was terrible because one of the whitest guys on TV (Will) was trying to rap and failing miserably at it.

I think they do, too, but so much of it is Auto-Tuned all to hell that it sounds totally artificial.

Sadly, Chris Klein is less faggy than the guy on this show.

I liked the part where Kristen Chenoweth got indignant at being called "ancient" before saying the club looked like "the world's worst Benetton ad."

You once said how much you like Pushing Daisies and sighted her as a reason.

Jane Lynch has one of the funniest roles ever written for television and she handles it perfectly.

Not that it really makes her any less funny'd
