This thread is part of an experiment to determine Buffistas' interest in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which there will be a brief skirmish to sort out what we want to do next. This thread is for discussion of all comedy, regardless of airing station. [NAFDA]

Art Crawl!!!

Yes! I saw the Swarley episode.

Well, now that there's no Drive, I guess I'll be watching more HIMYM.

What is even happening?

Jars! I was just wondering why you'd disappeared.

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

Turns out Northern Ireland is not a nice place to live. I'd always suspected...

As had I. Come back to civilization! (Not thread related--I left you a comment or sent you an email or something to try and figure out when we'll cross paths again. Did you get it?)

Oh SA, you should definitely give it a try. It takes a few episodes for a lot of people to get into the humour, I think. But it's oh so worth it.

God help me for getting something *new* to watch, but I'll give it a try.

Punishingly Intricate

New Office tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I won't be home to see it! Stupid social life.

Also, my friends had a sort of an Office zine sent to their book store the other day. It's evidently all illustrations. They wouldn't describe it more than that saying I had to see to understand. I have it waiting for me to have when I go into work on Saturday.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'd rail about the few TV programs that I want to watch each week being scheduled opposite each other (Supernatural and Scrubs tonight), but I also had that problem Monday nights at 7pm and I'm NOT happy with how Fox resolved the conflict.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. This is interesting, from IMDb:

Alec Baldwin said during a taped interview for The View due to air on Friday that he wants to leave acting and spend the next three to five years of his life focusing on the issues of divorce in general and his own divorce (from Kim Basinger) in particular. NBC immediately issued a statement suggesting that it had no intention of allowing Baldwin to quit 30 Rock, the sitcom in which he stars. "Alec Baldwin remains an important part of 30 Rock," the network's statement said. "We look forward to having him continue his role in the show." During The View interview Baldwin also apologized to his 11-year-old daughter for a message he left on her answering machine -- that was later leaked to the press -- in which he hurled insults at her for missing his call.

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

The Office:

I thought it was a reasonably funny, if not stellar episode, and the last big with Dwight-as-Jim had me on the FLOOR. The messenger bag! His HAIR! "Blah blah blah.... some comment"! His looks to the camera!

I was also glad to see S2-ish Jim, being decent to Andy when he's down in the dumps. Aw.

Where have I seen that actress who played Barbara Allen before? She looked v. familiar.

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'

I loved the opening and ending of The Office. Jim's impersonation was dead on.

This day is bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

I love Kelly. I would hate her in real life, but she's adorable as a television character.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ahahahaha! The impersonations were great, and I loved seeing Dwight getting back at Jim.

Threat Level: Midnight! hee!
