NBC’s Thursday night lineup—Community, 30 Rock, The Office, Up All Night, and Parks and Recreation—is hilarious. Why is no one watching?

Last night I had dinner with Meghan and Rebecca, two very sharp lady comedy friends. We had just come from a Mindy Kaling book event and were thus a little hopped up and in a very particular headspace halfway between gossip and serious talk. The conversation careened from Mindy to HelloGiggles…

Reblogging because yes, you guys. Yes.

ABC is developing a Why You’re Not Married comedy series based on an insanely sexist blog post. Deadline reports:

The project, described as “a brutally honest look at love,” stems from McMillan’s hugely popular February blog post titled Why You’re Not Married, which went viral and became the second most read story on Huffington Post with some 2.9 million views. (In it, McMillan lists the main reasons for single women not being able to get married as: 1) You’re a Bitch; 2) You’re Shallow; 3) You’re a Slut; 4) You’re a Liar; 5) You’re Selfish & 6) You’re Not Good Enough.)

I’m going to hope some fresher reasons have been added to that list, like 7) You haven’t met anyone who’s good enough or the right fit, 8) You live somewhere that won’t let you marry the person you love, 9) You don’t want to be married yet, 10) You don’t want to be married ever. But truth isn’t as fun as hating on women, I guess. And this after the masculinity-in-decline programming of this season. ABC, wtf.

You forgot 11) Your name is Whitney Cummings. 

Also this is very disappointing news indeed.

Finally! A happy post!

Is the mass-reaction Tumblr brigade REALLY going to try and argue that the writing on Glee is better than the writing on Modern Family, or Parks and Recreation, or even 30 Rock? Look, I will never ever ever judge you for liking a particular TV show, let alone Glee which has a lot of strengths and is obviously very entertaining. But Glee has some of the weakest script writing on television — not always, but certainly sometimes — and is someone really going to try and argue otherwise? Glee has plot holes you could drive a monster truck into! Which isn’t to say that the cast members don’t turn in great performances, or the show isn’t really entertaining, or even that all awards aren’t total bullshit in the end anyway, but calm your titties, ladies and gentlemen.

Also, Parks and Rec, I’m sorry you didn’t win anything. Because you’re awesome, too. But can we all just agree that the only real robbery here was Louis C.K. not winning anything? The dude’s a fucking genius.

Yes. Louis not winning anything was the ultimate snub. (Also the announcer factoid guy mispronouncing his name was dumb, too.)

I can’t believe Parks and Rec didn’t win anything. Louis CK I understand the Emmy voters “not getting” his sense of humor, but really, NOTHING for Parks and Rec?
