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.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In other news, seems "The Office" is back for 30 episodes. Which is a lot.
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.

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

Yeah, the "including" looks to me like Sophia's read. That makes sense, given that MNIE also got 25 episodes. Also, yay! I didn't really know whether it was in any danger, but I'm glad it's back, bigger and (hopefully) better.

Is it Thursday yet?
Yeah. I'm counting down the days to TV again.
