NBC made a sacrifice of this guy

So now we get reruns of The Office in the middle of the evening

Speaking of, we saw the last episode of The Office!

Wait, huh? OK, so it was just Michael's last episode and apparently the show is pressing on. Featuring Jim Carrey! Or something!

We got a +1 to the Community cast ... and he's black!

NOPE

And a smart show for nerdy people!

    Was it just me or was Amy Poehler looking particularly fetching last night


    Maybe it was the ultraconfidence

    The Office will henceforth become garbage. I guess it had to happen sometime, though.

    The nude painting probably helped, but yes, she looked very good last night.

    You can't use the front door, you have to climb in through the back window.

    No personal phone conversations.

    If you ever speak to me in Spanish, please use the formal usted.

    And no electricity after 6 PM.

    If you ever watch a sad movie you have to wear mascara so we can see whether or not you've been crying.

    There's no noise allowed on Mondays and... no TV after breakfast.

    That Office farewell was really well done.

    30 Rock was garbage though. I am beginning to think their format is love/hate with no room for middle ground. Every joke was just so heavy handed.

    Community and Parks and Rec were both pretty good. I loved Abed's line about delivering a baby. "You all were just in the background somewhere." or something like that.

    So that bit with Michael positioning the Dundie on his desk

    Has that... been in the opening credits since the beginning of the show?

    Cause that was a real mindfuck when me and my friends watched this

    I just wanted to pick up where the last thread left off and state for the record that Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was poop that came out of a butt. A butt that belonged to a person who ate too much cheap Mexican food.

    Hey, I kinda like Studio 60.

    And the bit with the Dundie has been there since the beginning but it's not like they pre-planned it or whatever, they just refilmed it for that episode as a callback to the credits, which I thought was really cool. That bit in the credits always stands out to me because you can see Michael with his old hairstyle from the first season when he was still kinda David Brent-ish.

    seeing how successful the voice was, i expect it to air 5 days a week in the near future, taking up 1 to 2 hours a night and replacing most sitcoms, with a constantly revolving cast of judges, till 2 years down the road when justin bieber is a judge

    also, fat baby tom is the best

    and the as seen on tv section of bed bath and beyond really is the best. though the marshmallow launcher really doesn't hold as many marshmallows as andy shot at ben

    Hey, so I watched all of the original office yesterday -not that hard since there's not that much of it, as is the british way- and I am certainly interested in getting into the american verson. But I've heard that it starts off almost identical to the original without the humour, and comes into its own later. All I want to know is how long it takes. I'll probably watch the earlier episodes anyway, But I'd much prefer to know when it gets good.

    I think the first episode of the american version cribs very heavily from the first episode of the original and falls pretty flat. I enjoyed the first season, but I remember that initial episode being kind of painful to watch.

    I think the first episode is almost a shot for shot remake? I dunno I've never seen the u.k. version

    But it's popular belief that the second season is where it starts to get good, and the third season is where, for me, it really hits it's stride. Gay Witch Hunt was an amazing season opener.

    the first season is only 6 episodes and you can pretty much safely skip it



    this post could be talking about either the american office or Parks & Rec

    The first season of the Office has some great moments though, I wouldn't skip it. It's also interesting to see where they started and what they wanted to change.

    Yeah, the first few episodes are pretty painful.

    When I wanted to get people interested in the US Office I showed them episodes from Season 2 (I think I started with Office Olympics, since it's less awkward than the Dundies). The last two episodes of Season 1 are worth watching (Basketball, and the one with Amy Adams), but they're not so good for jumping into the show.
