Office fans -- remember, new ep tonight?
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!
Plus new 30 Rock !!!
This afternoon is going to deeeerrrraaaaaaaggggggggggggg
And I'm going to miss them because I'm seeing a free screening of Smart People. Blerg!
I really really adore Get Smart and have piles of old videocassettes of the episodes, so I hope for the best with the movie, but am dubious. Best possible actor for it, though, given the constraints of our era.
Once again, it's a great casting choice, but whether it holds up is another thing entirely. Truly funny movies have been made out of beloved sitcoms (i.e. Addams Family and The Brady Bunch Movie) but that's not the way to bet.
Also don't forget there's a new Earl tonight. :: waves her tiny but earnest Earl flag ::
I have one of those too, Theodosia!
I am cautiously hopeful about the Get Smart movie.
Earl was great tonight. I wonder if the show is going to become too boring if/when they go back to a format of Earl crossing things off his list while not in jail or a coma.
30 Rock was very, very funny tonight.
Who can name the four most important demographics?!
I think last night's Office was good as an episode but the wrong choice for the return. I dare say it was Buffy-esque in its willingness to step outside of its genre. (Really -- how many sitcoms would venture so close to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?-land?). And for being able to do that while keeping the characters in character.
But for the first ep back, I'd have liked to have seen more of the minor characters. Yet we hardly saw any of them.
And I'm not sure it was wise to step so far out of the show's comfort zone on the first ep back. I was looking for workplace comedy, not domestic drama. If it had been shown right after the last ep before the strike, I think it would have blown me away. But not for the return ep.
At the culmination of the argument, Michael's frantic "THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!" cracked me up. I don't know why it's so funny.
