This was an emotional night of Housewivery. Kim showed up to Kandi’s studio in a courtesan’s nightgown, her boobs shoved up under her chin and her upper lip extra plumped for the occasion. Kandi debriefed her on their remix of “Tardy for the Party” and played the new sped-up, synthesized club version. Kim started trembling all over when Kandi suggested that at some point in the process of making Kim a one-hit wonder she was actually going to have to warble a couple lines.
Eventually the very kind and calm Kandi got Kim in a booth and she told us all not to be tardy a couple hundred times. She emerged from the booth with her wig askew and her face flushed. She had conquered her fears. She realized her dreams. She needed a cigarette. When they played the track back, Kim was so thrilled she immediately decided to shove NeNe and her damn verse out of the scenario. She made a couple crawl strokes with her arms and did the old plug your nose dance move. “Don’t do that,” her producer told her. “We gonna get you a choreographer next,” Kandi said. I’m starting to like Kandi more and more.
A piece of television history comes to an end today when Guiding Light airs its last episode. After 72 years, TV’s longest-running drama succumbed to declining ratings but it hasn’t dimmed the ardor of longtime fans who hoped that another network would air the show and who devoted pages to eulogizing the show in the countdown to the final episode. And they are not alone in their love. The show’s stars have been making their own peace with the end of GL. Here Kim Zimmer, Beth Chamberlain, and Grant Aleksander share some their favorite memories.
Welcome, PopWatchers, to your first discussion section for the lecture that is NBC’s Community. This is not the place to get a detailed summary of the show — you either saw the lecture or you didn’t. No, you keen devourers of all things pop-culture related, this is the place to expand upon Community. This is where we shall evaluate the show’s best triumphs and worst missteps, as well as anything else you might consider relevant (shouting “First!” doesn’t count). So let’s go around the room and have everybody introduce themselves. Actually, I always despised that part of college discussion sections, so let’s just begin… 
Bones is one of the shows that I’m so invested in that I actually once slid off the couch in a fit of embarrassingly dramatic (and in my defense, severely sleep-deprived) despair while watching it. So I really wanted this episode to remind me why I love it so much. And, it did. Quickly, we got an explanation for Season 4′s controversial fantasy-filled finale: Brennan was reading Booth the book she was writing while he was in a coma after brain surgery, and his brain processed it as a new reality that will hereby be referred to as his “coma dream.” He thought they were married for days after he woke up. [Insert Ahs.] Brennan was told he’d recover quickly, so she left his side to go dig up bones in Guatemala. (Yeah, I would have canceled that trip.) Six weeks later, Booth was ready to get back to work. But there is one thing I don’t get: In the scene at the start of the episode in which Sweets signs off on giving him his gun back, Booth lists the fact that he hates clowns among the things that define him. So why then would he honk the nose of a clown who interrupts his confession of love to Brennan at the end of the episode? Is he really that fickle now (which is bad), or is the moral that people can change at any time (in a good way)?
