A coin? I thought it was a bowl of milk. Huh, that explains ALOT.
Around here we leave the tech fairies whiskey. Which explains a lot.
In other news, seems "The Office" is back for 30 episodes. Which is a lot. "Scrubs," alas, is only back for 18.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The UK IT Crowd was hilarious. Like, split your sides funny. And so, so true. Though I thought they were making a second series--I wonder if they still will with a couple of the actors going to the US version?
I am concerned about the transition. But I wait in hope.

follow-up, huh, I'm surprised Scrubs is back at all. I guess Zach worked out his contract negotiations. Isn't it a truncated season this year too? I almost think they work better with shorter timeframes to work in.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
based on the critically acclaimed British comedy
The reviews I saw hated it. Was also a ratings bomb for Channel 4, so surprised it sold abroad.
I watched the first episode, chuckled once, then never returned. I work in IT, though -- whilst the idea was good, it didn't remind me of The Office, which is good observation comedy. I'd love to do a script for The IT Crowd, as I really believe it could be great.

Daaaaamn. I'm...damn! Those guys are going to be working their asses off. Will there be no hiatuses or something?? I mean, that's a LOT! Plus, four hourlongs! I hope this doesn't lead to badness. Change is scary!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Plus, four hourlongs!
Is it 30 episodes, or 30 half hours (i.e. 15 hours total)? In other words, I'm wondering if the hour long episodes count as 2 towards the total count of 30.

victor, do you have a link? The last I heard (last week, so things could have changed ) was 24 episodes, 4 of which were 1 hour long.

Annoyingly, The Hollywood Reporter has changed its text, now just saying a plus-sized order of "The Office".

And now TV Guide is reporting 30:
The network has ordered 30 half hours of the hit series The Office, including five hour-long episodes, and has also increased the season order for My Name Is Earl to 25 episodes.
So that's 25 half hours and five full hours, right? [link]

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I read that as 20 half hours and five full hours-- 25 episodes. But I could be craxy
