the middleman - we don't just follow rules...we make them!

[chaodai]

my friends - sometimes the culture gods reward you even when the ratings gods will not...today on NPR's "all things considered," the middleman was not only cited as one of the few shows on television that adheres to "the bechdel rule" but also as THE show that got them talking about the bechdel rule as an indicator of a tv show's quality

That's the coolest thing I've read all day. I feel like dropping a box of Godiva chocolates and a bottle of champagne off at NPR on my way to work tomorrow. :)

Godiva chocolates?

You mean M&Ms.

[merujo]

HA! You are so very, very right. And in honor of last night's episode, they should be dark chocolate M&Ms. Very dark chocolate, indeed...

I have an eye patch in my car. But, dear god, I have to keep my shirt on. ;)

NPR rocks my world in so many ways. SO glad they appreciate YOUR world, too.

Congrats!

(M&M's all around, then?)

That's awesome... so much goodness!

LOVED the season finale, Javi.

Now that "The Middleman" has broken into solid cultural territory, I might suggest that it shatter racial and ethnic barriers as never done before
