Re: Notes from the Underbelly, I just can't figure out how they'll milk the premise (ewwww, I didn't mean to go there) after the first season.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The NY Times basically said it'll make you want to kill yourself.
But they don't seem to like anything these days.
(Are reviews spoilers? I don't even know anymore!?!)

It's a re-run, this week? Feh. You're right. They do hold up, but still. Feh.

Re: Notes from the Underbelly
I've seen the promos so many times, and yet have not been tempted to watch.
I don't know as I am watching any comedy, except TDS! Guess I better try The Office. Most comedy shows bug me in under 3 episodes.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I had Notes from the Underbelly on last week while i multi-tasked and it annoyed me even if i was distracted by other things. it's bad. don't bother.
is The Office new? i was thinking it was a repeat for some reason.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
30 Rock and Scrubs are new, but no new Office, unless they're doing a newpeat, which I haven't heard anything about.

except TDS!
Can we talk about Daily Show and Colbert in here? (I don't think it fits in reality/documentary, really...)

Because books.
I think this is the first time ever I don't watch any comedies. Unless you count reruns of Friends and Sex and the City.
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.

I think TDS/TCB would be more non-fiction, Aileann. But I'd be happy discussing it in either place.
AmyLiz, The Office first season is a really accessible 12-13 episodes.
