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]

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".

What is even happening?

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

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

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Is it Thursday yet?

Yeah. I'm counting down the days to TV again.

Yeah, you're right Sophia. I was reading it all wrong.

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

Did anyone else watch Adult Swim's pilots last night? I thought Fat Guy Stuck in Internet was GREAT. Drinky Crow, nsm, though Bob's brother voiced the whale.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

HIMYM was great tonight!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Drinky Crow, nsm, though Bob's brother voiced the whale.

Really? I loved Drinky Crow and the whale was excellent. Emmett declared it "Very disturbing." Then again, I'm a big fan of the comic Maakies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The local news promo told me that was an actual Local Couple on HIMYM. Of course, they told me before the scene aired, but still.
