The Christmas Experiment 2010: Hours 21 & 22-ish

Viewing Thoughts: Two of my favorite sitcoms and Doctor Who. Don't expect much commentary.

 Community: Watching Community. It's being done in Stop-Motion animation.This is one of those shows you should be watching. The episode is a celebration of the Christmas Special.  The character of Abed, despite being Muslim, loves the Christmas season and he goes looking for the meaning of Christmas. However, no one else can see it as well. They work off of the Christmas Tropes and use them effectively. If you're like me and watch a lot of Christmas Specials, this is heaven.

Really, I would watch this special. It is a self-aware Christmas Special. It recognizes itself for what it is and embraces it. We need more specials like this.

30 Rock: The 30 Rock Christmas episode from this year is good but it's not as worth gushing over. It does get most of the dysfunction of Christmas with the family but I have Christmas Vacation for that. Liz Lemon rocks. 'nuff said!

Doctor Who: Nothing specific but this may be the most gorgeous episode of the new series and one of the best written. I'm not done yet but still, terrific. Really, it's an episode with elements of Dickens, Christmas, and it's just beautiful. Also, funny and great action. You should be watching Doctor Who. This was only the best episode of the New Series.

Notable Commercials: There's a Musinex commercial where a young phlegm wad is talkingabout everything that Musinex prevents. He's voiced Qubert Fansrworth. Random Observation.

Late Christmas Ideas: Either a TARDIS or some other space/time distillation device. I'd settle for a vortex manipulator really.

The Tally
Mountain Dews Left: 20
Energy Drinks Left: 3
Cups of Coffee drank: 0
Pumpkin Pie Left: 1/6th left.
Sanity Rating (1 being solid time, 10 being Wibbledy-Wobbledy, Timey-Wimey.): 4
