Watched Smile Time last night
The girls LOVED it. And it's really very much 'The Buffy verse does Doctor Who'.
('Doctor Who is how we warn our children that there are people in the world who want to eat them.' Steven Moffat)
Of course it's more grownup, but so many of the ingredients are the same - the children being targeted, the puppets being evil, all the stuff about storytelling being used (and misused) and the stories (songs) within the story being important plot points, the magic, the transformations, and - of course - all the silly humour. They found EVERYTHING with puppet!Angel hilarious.

And, since it fits right in, go read Mitt Romney Fired Big Bird. I still can't get over that particular pledge - what's next? Stealing candy from kids in order to help fund war? (Random comment I remember from Radio 4 this lunchtime. Sandy Toksvik: "Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. Mitt Romney was assembled on the Death Star.")
(Am busy trying to get all my DW meta thoughts in order. There will be a LONG post at some point. Oh yes.)
ETA: Oh oh oh! Meant to share this last week, but forgot. If you want to know how we view Mittens from across the ocean (and are interested in his apparent lack of basic knowledge of the world! To be honest, that part is kinda worrying), watch this. Also hysterically funny:

IKR? (She's on insane journal - AS SHE SHOULD BE!)

Totally. When Dubya was up for re-election all the comedians were PRAYING for him to win. Not that they liked him, but he was an endless source of top-notch material.

Davey Mustaine from Megadeth was right with 'em. The Bushes were his favorite parasite of choice for writing political songs about. THRASH. ON.
BTW...I adore you.
