I really wanted this thread and now I'm too busy at work to watch TV! But I will pimp 30 Rock without reservation. Too bad Andy Barker is gone; that was another great little sitcom for a minute.
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.
'Serenity'
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]

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Andy Barker is gone gone, not coming back? That's a shame, I really liked it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I read somewhere that the remaining episodes would be aired on Saturdays.
It took me a while to figure out why I could never watch more than 2 minutes of The Office. It's ugly. It's so colorless. I know... mockumentary, whatever. My eyes need more.

I believe two episodes were relegated to last Saturday and there are no plans to air or create anymore. They should still be on the NBC website, however.

I am totally going to serial post in all the experiment threads because I don't want to work.
For anyone who watched the Salute to Fireworks episode of 30 Rock: there are totally fireworks outside right now! There are fireworks all the time down here, actually.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Definite fan of The Office here. I've had too many bad bosses to believe Michael Scott is fiction. Though I had one who was a dead ringer for Todd Packer (or whatever was the name of Michael's old friend with the "WLHUNG" license plate).
So for me, it's less humiliation comedy than revenge comedy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Woot! I've been watching How I Met Your Mother which really hit its stride this year and had some very funny, very weird episodes.
I saw the Ugly Betty catchup recap thingie and I'm intrigued.
The 30 Rock love has convinced me to try it.
Maybe I'll just go for the full Thursday night slate. Hmmmm.

It's a re-run, this week? Feh. You're right. They do hold up, but still. Feh.
Probably new for me, since I've only just caught up with S1 and S2. Which, I'm so glad I did. I can't believe how much I adore these characters. And the unexpected touchingly sweet moments are so, so wonderful because they always catch me by surprise. I think I fell in forever love with it during the scene with Michael and Jim on the booze cruise ("... then don't give up.") So matter of fact and right. D'awww.
I keep wanting to try The Office, but it's been on so long, and I'm too lazy to catch up on who's who and all that.
So worth it. So, so worth it. And, yeah, I think I caught a couple of episodes from S3 at some point, and I wasn't all that lost.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Woo-hoo! A thread in which I can talk about The Office with Buffistas! *clutches the thread* It's too bad it's rerun this week.
I've also fallen pretty hard for 30 Rock, and I don't know if I wanna be Liz Lemon, or I wanna do Liz Lemon. Suffice it to say that I have a girl crush on Tina Fey big enough to give my other girl crush on Jenna Fischer a run for its money. I also find myself shipping Liz with *everyone*. Well, maybe not Lutz, since he called her that awful name.

You cannot be Liz Lemon because I am Liz Lemon. No, it's completely true. I swear more than once I've experienced watching an episode in work clothes AND SHE'S WEARING THE EXACT SAME OUTFIT. We apparently have quite the love for sweaters over button-up shirts. Professional and lazy! Also I kind of love Lutz because he's a writer for SNL so he's pretty much playing himself, but he's also a fab improvisor. Tina takes care of her friends.
I might love this show a little much.
