Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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]

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

My favorite part was where CBS is going to replace the Dawn and Tim characters with more traditionally attractive people. Note-freakin-perfect.

And that she'd leave her fiance and they'd get together in the 3rd ep! PERFECT

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

UKTV Gold are showing the entire series of The Royle Family through weeknights from half eleven. Useless information for most everybody in this thread but I'm just throwing it out there in the off-chance someone will join me in my Cheryl love.

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

Everyone remember that My Name Is Earl and The Office are supersize episodes tonight, running about six minutes over.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The Office is more like 45 minutes long according to my schedule. And then Scrubs is 34.

Yeah, MNIE was only six minutes long.

The Office was HILARIOUS. A return to form after a couple rocky episodes.

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

My love for Pam just grows and grows. She's really come into her own this season. And I dug her and Karen facing off a bit over, of all things, Michael and Jan's relationship.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And Michael was so perfectly Michael. He had the right goal and went about accomplishing it in the precise worst possible way.

I didn't expect the flyer to have quite the payoff it ended up with. We couldn't stop laughing for five minutes after the episode ended. (Added points for the line, "Hello, Dunder Mifflin slash Sex Predator Hotline.") (And of course, Dwight's Freudian slip that Pam caught.)

Pam may well be the character closest to real life. In high school, I knew a dozen girls that could have become her.

That was absolutely hysterical. I didn't expect that payoff either.

I hope the actress who plays Phyllis has very high self-esteem, because they sure do make a TON of jokes at her expense.
