Anyone else watch "The New Normal" on TV?

It's one of the few new TV shows I actually like. That kid that plays Shania is just adorable and I'm a big fan of Andrew Rannells. I always wish I got to see him on broadway when he did 'Book of Morman" (I do have the soundtrack that he was on).

Her impressions of Edie from Grey Gardens and Cher were spot-on and hilarious. She is also great with the long-winded dialogue Shania is given.

Matt Bomer's shirtless scenes in last night's episode were very easy to watch.

and enjoy it quite a bit. Haven't seen last night's yet but it's on the DVR. Got home late from work and my only priority last night was Justified. Tonight we'll catch up on all the half hour shows we DVR'd yesterday.

when she had the Edie from Grey Gardens reference. Love her. Love Ellen Barken's character also.
