"Party on, Wayne!"
Excellent ’90s comedy “Wayne’s World” keeps the party going The path from “Saturday Night Live” success to film industry fame has always been a treacherous one. “The Blues Brothers” made the transition from “SNL” skit to hilarious big-screen comedy without a hitch.

Giddy about "Glee"
You can count me among “Glee’s” cult followers Few television shows make me as instantly, blissfully happy as “Glee.” It might be the elaborate song-and-dance numbers, or the catty rivalry between dreamy Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and sinister cheer coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).
