I liked that Jim stuck around for Michael's "party". Once again, Michael's awkward side made me care about him. Also, I saw the Scrubs musical. Very cute.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Continued from the Drama thread - last night was Fox Pilot Night at our house. The only comedy I watched was The Return of Jezebel James, which is Amy Sherman Palladino's new show with Parker Posey.
I wish it were better. Maybe it will get better, I don't know. As it currently stands, it's very awkward and not very funny. Parker Posey is playing a broader version of Lorelai and it just doesn't quite work in a sitcom context. Losing the laugh track would be a huge step in the right direction, but honestly I'm just not sure Palladino can write broad sitcom-style comedy. I don't think a half-hour format is right for this show.

I'm hoping that Parker Posey can pull it out.

What is even happening?
I really hope we have some sort of sitcom thread. I loved talking with you all about The Office. I don't actually care if it is a dedicated thread, or a boxed-set style thread, but I hope we have something.
The experimental threads should close today, so goodbye everyone. See you on the other side.
