24/Lifetime movies/Jane on Gary Unmarried

[whenidream]

1. I was just thinking about season 6 of 24 and how witty/sexy Tom and Karen are.
   Karen: Hello, Tom. Did someone push you down the stairs?
   Tom: No, Karen. I tripped over your ineptitude.
   
   God, I ship them SO HARD.
2. I just watched this movie called Augusta, Gone. It was on OnDemand, and I thought it would be pretty appropriate to watch, mostly because it's a Lifetime movie with Sharon Lawrence. And also, Tim Matheson is in it. I kind of had no idea what it was about, but taking the name-plot relationship of other Lifetime movies into consideration, I figured it would be about Sharon Lawrence getting raped by Tim Matheson in Maine and being afraid to come back and regain her womanhood. On the contrary, it was about a girl (played by the CIPA girl from House) who thinks she's ugly and decides to start doing drugs with the "bad kids," and Sharon Lawrence, who plays her mom, freaks out and has to send her away until she changes and they live happily ever after. And Tim Matheson plays her dad...unfortunately he and Sharon's character are divorced, so no hot sex for me. Anyway, I'm definitely a proponent of the idea that Lifetime movies are lame and ridiculous, but I reaallyyyy enjoyed this. And not just because I got to see Sharon Lawrence playing a controlling/distraught mother. Actually, that part had pretty much no impact on me, amazingly enough. It was definitely cliche at certain parts, and the message didn't really apply to me, but it was also kind of nice and I cried at the end when they showed the people who the story was based on. All in all, it was a pretty good time.
3. Jane Curtin is on the Thanksgiving episode of Gary Unmarried tonight (right now!), which I am crazy excited about. I mean, come on, Jane IN A THING. ON TELEVISION.
   
   1. "I told your father he should have hugged you more as a teenager. But your little breasts frightened him."
   2. I kind of enjoy her hair. Jane without excessive bangs is always enjoyable. Finally a release from the Mary Albright years, yesssss.
   3. "My place is like an Indiana Jones movie. You touch the wrong thing and you have this great big boulder bitching at you." Accurate assessment, y/n?
   4. "Honey, I wasn't snooping, but I was looking through your underwear drawer..." lmao and then she criticizes her for not wearing slutty enough underwear and uses her thong as an example.
   5. [after finding out her husband ditched her for Thanksgiving dinner at Gary's house] "Whoa whoa whoa...hold everything. YOU PUT YOUR FEET ON THE FURNITURE?!"
   6. She really walks differently than she used to. Like on SNL, she sort of pushes her body forward when she walks, but you can gradually see a difference through Kate & Allie and definitely on 3rd Rock, because eventually you can see her develop this kind of graceful saunter. On this show and in the thing I saw her in at the beginning of the month, it's much more distinctive. I kind of enjoy it. I can't decide whether it's an issue of age or like, a confidence thing.
   7. So basically she said a bunch of bitchy things at inappropriate times...yeah, if you want a bitch, Jane is clearly the way to go. That was fabulous. I will definitely be picspamming this at a future date.
   8. I really hope this show doesn't get canceled, because parents have sugh a higher chance of returning as characters and I would love the opportunity to see more of her on here. It's kind of unique because she just had a bunch of lines that were totally necessary for her character, whereas with 3rd Rock she really only said a few witty things per episode.
4. Oh man, "Wilson's Heart" is on FOX right now. Obviously I have to watch this. Best pre-Thanksgiving episode ever.
