    I respectfully disagree with your disrespectful disagreement

    Cintra, are you sure you were watching the same broadcast? I was watching in high-Def, so I saw all the glamour, sparkle and makeup and I heard every punchline land just where it should have. I thought it was great. Maybe you think that being a critic doesn't allow for praise where it's due. Maybe next year you'll be relegated to the TV guide channel with Joan and her sarcastic (can I say the word?) Bitches of every sex.
