Ann, that's a ferret.

I really think Michael's character is starting to fall apart, in an intentional way.

Kevin, that makes sense. Because the writers are writing themselves into a trap. The show is supposed to be relatively realistic, at least for a network sitcom. But I don't see how any company could look at what Michael did at Utica and let him keep his job. Ditto Dwight, though his sales record might give him a ghost of a chance. Ditto Jim, unless he could convince the powers that be that he really was quasi-kidnapped and actually talked the others out of wreaking even more havoc than they did.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I'm probably going to need to cross post this, but y'all know what's available on iTunes right now?

Season One of WKRP!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Wrong season but I can never resist the urge to shout

As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly!

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Pushing Daisies There's something about it that's soporific for me. I can't get through an episode without falling asleep at least twice, which means I'm about 3 weeks behind. I can't figure out what it is, if it's the music or Jim Dale's voice, or what.

Heh, it doesn't put me to sleep at all but i find that i have to record it because i want to watch it at least twice in a row, there's just so many great little bits that i miss the first time.

Maybe more pie would help? :)

Nathan Fillion was on Robot Chicken. I wonder who he voiced.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Season One of WKRP!

I realize this is probably asking too much, but they didn't happen to deal with the song clearances issue?

I hope you're right, but I think you're giving the writers too much credit.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I'm drawn on this one myself (and I made the comment!). I figure they gotta be heading somewhere with the characters here. Michael, Dwight, Ryan, even Jim - it feels like something is wrong with all of them, it can't be sustained and it's all gonna implode. To me. But it might just be the writers off their game.

I was only able to watch the 1st part of the pilot, but it doesn't seem they did.

Art Crawl!!!

Pushing Daisies There's something about it that's soporific for me.

Perhaps it's the fairy tale aspect?

Have you guys been enjoying the guest appearance of the Raybans of Justice on the promos for this week's HIMYM as much as I have?

Laga, my first thought when reading the WKRP post was exactly the same as your's. And it's ALMOST the seasonl (I believe Food Network is starting their series of Thanksgiving related cooking shows this week.)

The Office looks fucked by the writers strike. Production gonna stop is the word. The writers are also actors and producers on the show.
