So What's the Best Comedy on TV Right Now?
That TV-critics’ Twitter debate I mentioned in my Modern Family post this morning was kicked off by a simple but tough question: what’s the best comedy on TV right now? I don’t want to misrepresent anyone by saying who picked what and why, but it’s something I’m wrestling with right now, as I start to work on my best-of lists for 2009. …

Glee Drops a CD, Jane Lynch Drops In to Party Down
Having a crappy day at the office? I can’t offer you a new episode of Glee tonight. (I can tease you that I’ve seen next week’s episode, in which the on-again, off-again show is on again.) But in the meantime, the next best thing, Glee: The Music, Volume 1, has just been released online and wherever it is that they actually sell CDs …

Glee Watch: Chorus Interruptus
The Fox HD signal went out in the middle of my Glee TiVo-ing last night (this was apparently a NYC-area thing; I don’t know whether to blame Fox 5 or Time Warner Cable, though TiVo is apparently off the hook), with the result that I saw the first 25 minutes (with commercials) and the last three. But a weird, off 28 minutes or so those …

NBC vs. Glee: Battle of the Network Stars
What with all the singing and dancing and costumes, you would think that the cast of Glee and a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade float would go together like turkey and cranberries. But you would be forgetting that the Macy’s parade airs on NBC, which reportedly forced Macy’s to retract an offer to the kids from Glee to perform in the …

Dead Tree Alert: Comedy Comes Back
Sunday night, the Seinfeld-reunion arc starts on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and to greet it, I have an essay in the print TIME about the state of TV comedy 11 years later—which surprisingly, for once in a long while, is pretty good. For once in a long time, most of the best new series this year have been comedies. Part of the reason …

The Morning After: Glee-peat
Because I was out representin’ at the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia live show last night, I haven’t yet caught up with last night’s Glee (rats!) or The Jay Leno Show (not so much rats!). I’ve already seen Glee’s fourth episode (Fox skipped the third in the mailing to critics), so I hope to have some kind of real Glee Watch up next …

Ratings Roundup: Policy, Harmony, Anarchy
A few bits of ratings news as we start to get warmed up for premiere season:
* President Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress drew 32.1 million viewers, up from the 24.5 million his last primetime health care press conference drew (though not not up to the massive audiences he was getting just after his inauguration).

TV Tonight: Happy Glee-turn
Between the May sneak-premiere and the incessant advertising, it probably seems like Glee is entering its fifth season on TV. In fact the snarky-with-heart high school show choir comedy returns tonight with its second episode. And while it’s not as knock-your-socks-off as the pilot (while retaining some of the same problems), it …
