Experimental TV: Comedy  

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]

Always Anti-fascist!

"I talked like Bridget Jones all day." The impressions were funny, too.And it was a funny *thought* that Michael is grandiose enough to expect a call from...C.J. Cregg when he screws up, but I didn't get the pay-off I hoped for from it. You know what I mean? Love the "Threat Level Midnight" shoutout.

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

she actually is a fairly competent at her job.

"First of all, you're doing a great job at customer service, and you have soooo many good qualities, it might be good for you to work on the one you're not good at, which is being apologetic."

Ann, that's a ferret.

Angela trying to be empathic was priceless. Calling a press conference was a classic Michael move that somehow only led to comedy bronze.

And of course the impersonations were the highlights.

Yeah. Although I did love the "Ungrateful Biatch Hotline."

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I have no sense of when the finale is. Why does there have to be a finale? Can't there just be a new episode every week, forever? I'd like that.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

I think we have four more eps. one of the comms i'm in lists last night's ep as 3x21. are they really burning off all the eps before may sweeps? that seems...odd.

I recall earlier someone said this was a supersize season, but I don't remember if we get 23 or 24 episodes.

Next week's is another supersize episode, though. Which totally fucks with my DVR and means I have to ahem Smallville.

What is even happening?

I'm pretty sure last night's Product Recall was 3.21, as tiggy mentioned, and that there are three more episodes to go.

I think the finale is an hour long, and maybe one of the upcoming two is 40 mins? I'm more sure about the finale than the 40 minute one.

edited to clarify: I'm not counting the hour-long as two episodes. In other words, I think we have an episode on May 3, an episode on May 10, and that the May 17 finale is an hour long.

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

The Office: JK's impressions are always quite good, and the Dwight impression--JK as Jim impersonating Dwight, even--was hilarious. I'd seen the opening bit on youtube before, but I didn't know there was a closing bit too. OMG the funny.

30 Rock: v. sad she and floyd are over. I thought that was both touching and funny and could have been extended longer. Loved Liz as Jack's emergency contact, adored Jack's mom, thought whatshisface from Will and Grace was his normal level of funny. The bit about hayseed and hillbilly was v. funny.

Scrubs: DAMN Keri Russell! a) I didn't know you could be hot in that way, but kudos to you for growing up to be a grade a hottie; b) who knew you could play tramp so well?

Yay for Elliot and her boytoy. They are very special.
