Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Because books.

Is Jimmy Fallon not talking about it, either? He wasn't included in any of last night's clips.

I believe that Murphy does have a shower scene in 28 Days Later, but that is definitely Monaghan: [link]

[D'oh, missed it by that much.]

I fell out of the sitcom habit a couple of years ago and never found my way back.

Yeah. Well, okay, I just watched Extras last night, but that was on DVD. Even when I was watching more TV, I can't remember the last time I regularly watched a sitcom. They're just not appealing for some reason.

If you want to get back into comedy, I HIGHLY recommend Better Off Ted.

I think there has just been too much political news for TDS to do a late night TV segment. What with Harry Reid, Giuliani (still taking contributions for his 2008 Presidential bid Join Rudy 2008) saying there were no domestic terrorist attacks during the Bush Administration, Blago back in the news, the John Yoo interview. There's just too much stuff.

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

I got out of the sitcom habit when Seinfeld went off the air, and got back into it with HIMYM, 30 Rock, and Parks & Rec.

With Sarah Palin joining FOX news I think they may need to bump TDS to an hour.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I didn't watch 30 Rock in its early seasons, but they sucked me in with Tina Fey as Cathy and the MILF Island episode. I find that the mute button is very useful in dealing with Tracy Morgan.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

With Sarah Palin joining FOX news I think they may need to bump TDS to an hour.

You know The Colbert Report will fight TDS to the death for Palin coverage opportunities.

So, 2 hour block, then?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks for the Dominic Monaghan confirmation. I will reply to my would-be-corrector with cites. I must have missed that episode of Hetty. I don't remember bummage.

I lapsed out of sitcoms too. I tried to get back into them with mainlining 30 Rock, but it just never took. I've caught bits of HIMYM and it never really worked for me, despite loving NPH and liking AH.

I can still consume UK Coupling (the Jeff seasons) without hesitation, though. I would like to give Extras a shot, for the guest stars.

Because books.

I like what I've caught of The Office, but even HIMYM hasn't really grabbed me. Friends destroyed my sitcom gene!
