Aside from that, here are the top 5 reasons the return of Monday night's REAL entertainment (read: "The Bachelorette") can't come soon enough:
1) Katherine McPhee is light as a feather, stiff as a board. Holy crap she's emotionless. Sure she's cute and she can certainly sing better than me, but man she can't act. And really, if the plots were a true reflection of the Great White Way, there's no way she'd even have a shot at any role up against Megan Hilty.
Is this sexy? I'm from Iowa so I can't be sure.
2) Grace - Will = DRY&BORING. Not only is Debra Messing unlikeable, she's also tremendously unfunny as the cheating lyricist. Though I understand why she's toned down her performance (as compared to the spastic Grace), this Xanax'd version is putting me to sleep.
I used all my laughs up on that other NBC show.
3) Broadway star Megan Hilty as Katherine's nemesis certainly looks the part, but unfortunately she acts like she's on a stage. Megan: We can hear you: Stop screaming. And while you're at it, please don't look directly at camera while you're singing. YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY ON A STAGE.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
4) There are no cute boys. None. Zip. Zilch. There aren't even any you're-average-but-you're-charming-so-I-like-you, types. Our 2 best options are a British jerk (who's apparently not that great in bed) and a cheating broadway boy who inexplicably wants to destroy his homelife by cheating with Debra "Xanax" Messing.
I miss Will.
5) Ellis. The creeper who somehow, hilariously, is always lurking behind curtains. Under pianos. Behind bathroom doors. I get that shows like this need a foil, but come on, his ability to just appear is so over the top, we're laughing when we're not supposed to be.
Creeper.
What do I know? NBC just picked up the show for a second season.
