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
Amazon has the complete BBC Office (S1, S2, and the Christmas Special) on sale for 33% off right now, FYI.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yeah, you don't need it to watch one...the first I saw was either the Injury or Dwight finding a joint in the parking lot. Catching up will make seeing it more of a habit, though. Like I need another show. Which reminds me, now I remember the other thing I was going to post this morning...I saw John C. McGinley on a Frasier as a plumber yesterday. He whistled but he didn't call either Crane a girl's name.
