Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Our wings are not tired.

ZEP is an hour long show, Laura, I hope you are watching it all...

You are right, of course! I am not sure which of my short shows I was thinking of. In my queue at the moment I am on the last 3 Parks & Rec, and the last 4 of B99. We've been stretching those out.

You saw there is a new bonus Park & Rec next Tuesday? I totally get the saving and savoring but now might be the time to catch up...I would have a hard time deciding that were I in your shoes right now, those last few Parks & Rec were bittersweet as all get out and deserve some space to emotionally absorb, as I recall

Yes! I saw that and told DH that we had to break down and watch the last 3 that we have been holding on to in reserve.

I have been loving the guest politician appearances so much.

Oh, man. What a hit of nostalgia.

I did not realize that was the B99 season finale! TOtally makes sense, now that I think about it, but I haven't been preparing myself to not have a new one for...a while

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I enjoyed the B99 finale! It was a good note to end on, especially "Aunt Ro-Ro."

I do like ZEP and I've been watching since the first episode; I enjoy Jane Levy a lot and have followed her through a couple of shows. I am particularly thrilled that Alex Newell is such a frequently recurring character -- I was hoping he would continue to find work after Glee and that when he did, he wouldn't have to compromise his gender fluidity.

Watch to the end of this musical number for a funny bit featuring Alex: [link]

I've watched that before, Matt, and it's just an absolute delight.
