I thought I would hate this episode of "FlashForward." I'm always skeptical when shows go off on tangents (call it the "Heroes" syndrome) that never pay off, and following a character, Bryce -- who before now hadn't been more...

The first half of "Ballad" was the funniest episode of "Glee" since the premiere. The absurdities were hilarious -- Rachel suddenly getting stalkerish and googly-eyed about Schu over "Endless Love" (re-subtitled by Will...
