I've been glued to the election coverage for hours even though I know there's no point. Company seems like a good alternative.

Company is always a good alternative - to *almost* anything.

My mom and I started embarrassingly harmonizing on Company at my aunt's house a few days ago. It was pretty loud and obnoxious. I've been wanting to watch it ever since then.

I'm debating between going out to watch election coverage, or going back to sleep. (I'm sick, don't judge.) It's times like these that I wish I hadn't banned TV from my bedroom.

Thanks. :) Fortunately I meant go out to the living room, but that's feeling like too much of a trek right now. (I'm not actually sick, technically, I just have a badly twisted ankle and sore limbs from an inconvenient tumble.) I think I'm gonna lay down with a book, pass out, and wake up to watch stuff around 10-ish.

Every time is Jesse L. Martin time. That is my decree.

Skittles, I hope you look half as good as she does when you are 79 years old.

Don't worry, dear, my family ages fabulously, even without the plastic surgery.


I'm attempting to figure out picture-in-picture on my new TV so I can watch news and Jon and Stephen simultaneously.

I saw a Speed the Plow TV spot twice tonight, during the CNN election coverage. Raul's haircut is amazing. That ad must have been expensive to run during this show..

I'm sorry, but I can't take anything that calls this his best performance seriously. It's great, and it's showing off a side of him that I think a lot of people didn't know was there, but... no.

Raúl seems quite tickled by Billy Crystal's backstage visit:

I didn't even recognize Billy Crystal -

But I do love that grey shirt on Raul - part of the third scene costume, I think. Maybe he gets to keep it at the end of the run.

It's like they made it out of curtains. From my grandma's previous apartment.

Y'know, I have to say I really have a hard time seeing Charlie Fox wearing that tie. It's just not....him. And even in the 80's, that was NOT fashionable. I don't think it ever was (outside grandma's curtains). It might not be so bad if the colors weren't so....hideous. Yeah, that's the word - hideous. The Raúl E.

Yes, but think about it in the frame of what Raul was saying about Charlie as someone who tries way too hard to live beyond his means, and all of that.

OK, yeah - Charlie is living beyond his means, trying to be fashionable.

It's just -- there's just no way that tie was ever fashionable. Not even Orbachs would have carried that tie (in joke for those who lived in LA in the 80's The Raúl E. Esparza 'Spread The Love' Thread, Part Four ).

Trying too hard often backfires! I don't know, I'd like just think if they chose something that wasn't at ALL fashionable, they did it with a reason. But I also think John Doyleism taught me to want there to be reasons for everything.

I guess I picture Charlie wearing a Brooks Brothers striped tie - trying for the old "school tie" look. But maybe that's expensive but too tasteful.

I honestly love the tie. And I was giving Raul props when I saw those pictures, not realizing it was part of his costume. Oh well.

It's the kind of costume piece he might conceivably appropriate for future use.

Awfully quiet on this thread... Anyone been to see SPEED-THE-PLOW lately? Em, did you take your mom, and did she get to meet the Raul? I hate the threat that PUSHING DAISIES may be cancelled. I really wanted another episode or two with Fredo.
