It's a re-run, this week? Feh. You're right. They do hold up, but still. Feh.
Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

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]

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 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.

lisah said it's a re-run, tiggy. I haven't checked on my own.

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.

Really? That's cool. I'm so lame -- I never even watched the British version.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It took me a while to catch on to The Office which is funny, because I've been following My Name is Earl from the beginning, but the style between the shows is SO different -- Earl is all single camera, whereas Office is mockumentary in tone with hand-held shots, "interview" scenes and so on. Once I watched a whole episode, though, I was hooked, even if I didn't have the whole background.
