  • The Glee Project. I need to make sure if I loathe Darren Criss or just his character, Blaine.

    • Trust me, it’s just his character. Darren Criss is ten different kinds of awesome. Don’t believe me? Watch A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel on Youtube (which he wrote the songs for). Straight evidence of his awesomeness.

  • The season finale of Jane By Design sounds great! Here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out to be a series finale instead though. It’s a cute show, I’d hate to see it canceled.

  • Jane By Design is a cute show..but it seems like it never really took off on ABC FAMILY..The ratings are comparable to other series on the network..but it just doesn’t have that fan appeal other ABC FAMILY series get.
