What is even happening?

Why are they moving The Office to 9 PM? Whhhhyyy? It's doing fine where it is!

I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that they're giving it four one-hour long episodes, next season. Honestly, I didn't even notice the change. We TiVo all four sitcoms and watch out of order, with The Office being the only one we can't miss.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

(Adam Baldwin, "My Bodyguard")

Somehow it's a little sad to me that I recognize Adam from so much, and this is the credit they come up with.

I think CHUCK is the only one of those I would try out.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I'm not happy about those one-hour episodes, to tell you the truth. I'd rather The Office stay at the lean 22 minutes/ep, because I found longer episodes sort of flabby this season. (Except A Benihaha Christmas, which I love with unholy passion.)

I think a bunch of Buffistas have show conflicts with the new 9 PM slot (be it Grey's or SPN), and it'd make me sad if they drop The Office.

But cutie-pie Christopher Gorham is on Ugly Betty now

I've caught several episodes of UB through reruns and ... uhm, other measures. It's a very cute show and surprisingly subersive despite the initial cringey premise. It's not an appointment TV for me right now, but once TO moves off the time slot, I'll probably give it a TiVo season pass. And yes, Gorham is adorable in it.

The premise of "Life" doesn't interest me much, but I have an abiding love for Damien Lewis, so I'll probably give it a shot.

Art Crawl!!!

Somehow it's a little sad to me that I recognize Adam from so much, and this is the credit they come up with.

I just rewatched How to Make an American Quilt and I had completely forgotten that he is in this.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

With the government's most precious secrets in Chuck's head, Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin, "My Bodyguard") of the NSA assumes the responsibility of protecting him.

My Bodyguard? THAT's the credit they give him? Not Firefly, not The Inside, or anything else from the past TWENTY YEARS.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I might watch the Kevin McKidd show, just because of my fierce love. But nothing's grabbing me so far.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yeah, way to make the Bionic Woman sound BO-ring.

Compassionately intolerant

My thought exactly about Adam's credit. Sheesh people, catch up!

And Kevin McKidd with what I suspect will be an American accent is just a waste. I want more brogue on my screen.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Not Firefly, not The Inside

My guess is that they wanted to include a show that people actually, y'know, watched.

And by "people" I mean "people who aren't us."
