The Office

[Regs]

Anyone catch last night's episode?

Crentist - classic

One of the best shows going right now - Dwight is the best character on TV with maybe only Barney from HIMYM giving him a run

Love the show as well.
Haven't caught any season 3 episodes.
Love Dwight.
Love the Jim and Pam story line.

Also love the H.R. guys roll when he gets in an episode here and there. Hilarious.
Caught up with season 2 DVD's last week.

A bit of an aside but the original creators, Ricky Gervais and some other guy, have a new series on BBC2 called Extras. There are clips on YouTube with Harry Potter trying to pick up chicks (check out the three 9 minute clips). Pretty funny stuff and makes you wonder why this kind of stuff doesn't seem to be on the radar of the major North American studios--except to rip it off and sanitize it for the masses.

I like this show - my wife doesn't. She just works for a manager like that. She worked for her manager during a week off last month for parts of a couple of days.

When she got back to work her manager told if the General Manager asked her how the flowers were he was supposed to have sent her, "tell him they were nice". I could be a writer for The Office just by submitting the crap she experiences most days.

The other show that is funny is Boston Legal. That one is hilarious.

I haven't given the show a fair shot to be honest but everytime I seem to flip on too it I can't seem to continue watching it. maybe I don't know the characters well enough to enjoy the humour but it seems the humour is a little bit over dry to me. Another very possible option could be i'm an idiot and don't get it.

Yeah, it's not a show you can really get into after 10 minutes and 'get it' - Try http://www.nbc.com and watch a few of the webisodes - I think they have 2 minute recaps there of every episode.

Its likely the idiot bit ,but the show is a cracker if you watch it a few times. I like the US version but the UK version is by far the funniest.

 

[LION]

I have watched both versions. Both equally funny.
You have to watch a couple episodes to get some of the characters,.. then it will grow on you.
Rent the DVD and get through a few episodes.
They are all good.
