How Ugly Betty's Justin Suarez Paved the Way for Glee's Kurt Hummel

In Glee's "Prom Queen" episode back at the end of Season 2, an unlikely character won the title of prom queen: resident homosexual bullying victim Kurt Hummel. After Principal Figgins called his name, Kurt fled the gymnasium, crying, with boyfriend Blaine on his heels. "We thought that because no one was teasing us or beating us up [for being gay], no one cared," Kurt said in the hallway, through tears. One drawn-out emotional scene later, Kurt finally got the resolve to enter the gymnasium and accept his crown and scepter, defiantly announcing: "Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton."

Hey Arnold!: Five Reasons It's Worthy of a Nick Comeback

Way back in March, after Nick announced it was bringing back some of its '90s shows, reports surfaced that Hey Arnold! would be coming back, too -- but with new episodes. While I was happy to hear the news -- I am to this day a huge Hey Arnold! fan -- I was almost relieved to hear it wasn't true. (If you read the article, it seems the source was a high school newspaper.) The thing is, I'd rather Nick just bring back old Hey Arnold! episodes. But nothing has been said by Nick about it since. I'm thrilled that Kenan & Kel and The Amanda Show are getting a reprise -- but Arnold deserves one just as much. Here are the five reasons I think it's a really, really good show; why it holds up -- and why Nick should bring it back. (In the mean time, Season One just came out on DVD if you get desperate.)

It's 'Sunny' at FX, But Not 'Lucky'

by Diane Werts September 15, 2008 6:02 PM
It's 'Sunny' at FX, But Not 'Lucky' It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns for a fourth FX season Thursday night, September 18th. Of course it does. Sunny is a relative hit in the world of basic cable comedy -- a cult fave, a critic-pleaser, and an all-around apt addition to the annals of tube eccentricity. It takes place in a failing alley bar, features bulldog lunatic Danny DeVito, and builds plots around such inappropriate themes as finding a baby in a dumpster.
