Glee oh Glee - Sue on Halloween

I have always loved watching Jane Lynch in her Christopher Guest roles (A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, For Your Consideration) and and now that she's on Glee, more and more folks are learning of her awesomeness.
This little diddy was on Glee the other night and I can't help but laugh, because I actually have similar feelings towards Halloween.  
Call me a party pooper, but I believe Sue Sylvester hit it pretty right on here:
(Watch to 0:13)


"you know, halloween is fast approaching
the day when parents encourage little boys to dress like little girls
and little girls to dress like whores.
and go door to door brow beating hard working americans into giving them free food."

awesome.

Dear Jane,
I would love to improvise with you someday, k?
thanks.
ps--kicking myself for not stopping you in the street in NYC 4 years ago.
we could've had a nice little chat, coffee, done a little improvising, take a pic or 2, you would've introduced me to Christopher Guest......

"Never Bothered to Watch"

"Oh, those are all of the shows I never bothered to watch".

These are the words that came out of my new scene partner's mouth the other day when we were talking about the early '90s.  Our scene takes place in the '90s and we were discussing fashion trends and costume ideas.  With this our director referenced the show Friends.  I was enjoying the bit of nostalgia as we tossed out costume options and remembered what I had in my closet in those days. wowee.

Later in the rehearsal, my scene partner mentioned that he is 23.
Wait!
The reason that "those are all of the shows he never bothered to watch" was because he was 7 when Friends first aired.

It was interesting to talk with someone who didn't have much of a recollection of my "Must See TV" line up.  Has he ever seen Cheers? Seinfeld? ER? Frasier? Or even Family Ties? Kate & AllieCosby Show? A Different World? and not just the reruns? 
Does he know who Rerun is?

I suppose I'm entering that stage of life where I need to always be updated on the Mindset List.
