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.

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]

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.

What is even happening?
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.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
