Buzz In: What Acclaimed TV Classic Do You Just Not Get?
30 Rock made a M*A*S*H joke this week, and my friend practically threw a fit telling me all about her hatred for that show. She said every time her parents turned it on and she heard that famous theme song, she wanted to cry from boredom. I actually know quite a few people who feel that way, even though M*A*S*H is considered one of the best shows of all time.
Buzz In: Which Series Have You Hated to See End?
HBO's The Wire — many a critic's pick for the best show ever on television — will end its series on Sunday after five gut-wrenching and unabashedly bleak seasons. I sped through all the early seasons on DVD so I could be caught up in time for the finale, but now that it's here, I'm looking at Sunday with equal amounts of excitement and dread. While the show's only been part of my life for a short while, I have a hard time with the fact that it will just end.
Movie Night: War Satires
Memorial Day is not a time for cracking jokes, but wartime itself often requires humor as a matter of survival. So in honor of this weekend's holiday, I've put together a Movie Night featuring some thought-provoking but entertaining war satires. These three films utilize dark humor while also recognizing and respecting the horrors of war.

Glee-ful Highlights and Video From Episode "Ballad"
Maybe it's because Glee set the bar so high last week, or maybe it's the lack of Sue, but this week's episode just didn't do it for me. There are plenty of catchy tunes, but Rachel's all-of-a-sudden crush on Mr. Schue seems a bit forced, and it seems ridiculous that Will and Emma are best buddies again with no mention of their dramatic encounters from a few weeks ago.
It does have some touching moments (along with some sad ones) for Finn and Quinn, so to get into it just read more
Best Thing Ever: New Moon's Werewolf Bar Mitzvah
If the words "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah" mean nothing to you, then I am about to rock your world in the best way possible. Here at Sugar HQ, the term has been tossed around one more than once as New Moon approaches, referencing the "novelty party song" that earned Tracy Jordan a gold record on 30 Rock. Quite literally, New Moon is Jacob Black's werewolf bar mitzvah (translation: boys becoming men, men becoming wolves!) — and my dear friend Molly found the perfect way to set Jacob's moment in time to music in this amazing mash up.

New York, I Love You: A Jigsaw Puzzle That Doesn't Quite Fit
As a city with so much personality and penchant for possibility, it's no surprise that the follow-up to Paris, Je t'aime heads to New York. New York, I Love You is a tale of the connections and personal missteps that occur every single day in the city that never sleeps. It plays out like a movie version of a song mash-up: some story lines are linear and independent of the rest while other characters wander in and out of each other's lives.
