Noooooooooo!!!!

Well, here's the capper on my really bad day week month I've lost count: Huge is officially canceled. :( :( :( ABC Family, you are dead to me.

In other news, did we know about this? It's an old post, but I don't remember seeing anyone else talk about it. Jennifer Morrison never struck me as particularly (or at all) funny on House, but she's also a big name with "a huge arc" (pause to sob over Huge some more... okay, moving on), which always gets the "mother" speculation going.

Oh, and I have a love/hate relationship with the Senate, but this amused me, because loud commercials really freakin' piss me off. (Now if we could get some sort of budget passed this year, that would be just dandy.)

NOOOOOO! What are they even...I did not even know ABC Family aired stuff other than Boy Meets World on a continuous loop. Which, don't get me wrong, I have watched for hours at a time. But really though! Huge is a legitimately good show that was filling such a GAPING hole in popular culture. What does this even say to the next person who tries to pitch a "non-skinny people are people too" show? FUCKERY.

As for Jennifer Morrison, if she can drag HIMYM out of mediocrity - even NPH cannot carry it by himself - good for her. I always thought she was criminally underused on House. (Because obviously, WHAT IS A GIRL TO DO besides be in love with her boss? I ASK YOU.) But when she did get to do something, I enjoyed her.

Ugh. I have bizarrely complicated feelings about HIMYM of all shows. There are moments where it is a fantastic picture of urban 20-something life. (I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR!) And there is NPH. But seriously, there are episodes where if they had to cut out the body snark and the "women are dumb" pickup lines, it would be a trailer of a webisode. And Ted Mosby REALLY IS a jerk! Maybe the first couple of episodes I caught were not representative? I hope so, because the ones I've enjoyed have been fantastic. I would LOVE to be able to like this show as much as everyone else.

I only heard about the Huge cancellation on whedonesque. It's a total shame, that show was amazing against all odds.

I actually made the mistake of clicking the link and all the hateful sick comments there made it pretty obvious why that show would have been needed so badly.

Ugh, yeah, it's better to just not read the comments. :(

I KNOW OMG! Like, what exactly are you airing that is BETTER THAN HUGE? AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

I agree Jennifer Morrison was way underused on House, and I liked her well enough - she just never struck me as a funny character. I guess we'll see.

LOL, how much of HIMYM have you seen? Because there were years when the show was FANTASTIC, but last season sucked mightily, and this season thus far seems not any better. It's kind of always teetered on the fence between typical sitcom cliches and sheer brilliance, and there are times when it falls completely into the wrong yard. Moreso lately than they used to.

Most of the first season, reruns here and there, and then some of the fifth season and the first two new episodes. Definitely the episodes with Alexis Denisof (YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT HIM) but I think the Pineapple episode and the Barney-Robin laser tag episode were the only ones where I really got what the fuss was. I think I just manage to hit on bad episodes.

The first season was pretty good, but still kind of finding their footing. The second season is awesomesauce, so I'd watch that if you haven't. (I like how it turns the typical TV relationship on its head - most of the time, shows try to get you invested in a "will they/won't they" thing, but here, they make you care about Ted/Robin even though we know she's not the mother. And it's Ted at his least jerky. \o/) At the very least, you MUST watch "Slap Bet." Season 3 is good, too.
