CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 According to Newsaskew.com Earl won its timeslot with a 9.3 rating and 14 share. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's good news...it'll be interesting to see how it does next week, with the Amazing Race 8 premiere.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 Just watched The Office from last night. Jesus Christ, did somebody say network retooling? While the show is still great, the love story, classic music, and Michael being applauded by his employees? What the fuck? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bet NBC wants more focus on Jim-Pam, even though it's not funny and killed the momentum the show was building up. I thought the horrible singing was funny, especially the Oh Yeaaaaah sound effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 Lord knows we can't have a comedy in the States without some ongoing romantic story arc, whether it makes sense within the context of the show or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 It does make sense though, since it's been hinted since the pilot Jim has an attraction to Pam. They just overdid it in the third act. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 I think we need to have a funraiser for all of us here at TSM. The footage of these hurricanes has brought many of us down I'm sure. This latest episode of The Office was just about my favorite so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2005 It was good, but it couldn't touch Diversity Day or the one where Michael organises a basketball game and thinks Stanley should play because he's black <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Diversity Tomorrow . . . why tomorrow? Because today is almost over." Personally, the Health Care ep was my favorite. Dwight stripping benefits from everyone was gold. Plus, his exchange w/ the lady from Corporate was awesome as well . . . "This is Dwight Schrute, Acting Manager of the Scranton Branch requesting your permission to fire Jim Helpert." "What's your name again?" "Schrute, Dwight Schrute." "I got news for ya, you are not the manager of ANYTHING!" I didn't mind the season premiere since Pam was wasted anyway. They can pretend that night never happened and continue on where they left off from Season 1. I'm hoping things will move more slowly between them assuming they'll be restrained to the office for most of the rest of the season rather than a restaurant/bar. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I'm looking forward to the next episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2005 Michael's indignation with the guy being named Mr. Brown makes the episode for me. The Office : Office Olympics With Michael and Dwight out of the office, Jim and Pam organize an employee competition. Okay, enough with Jim and Pam.

The Mandarin 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2005 The Office was absolutely hilarious tonight. I don't think I've laughed that hard in a long while. Best US episode ever. There are too many quotable lines. My Name is Earl was stellar in the first act, funny in the second and just okay in the third. Still a good episode and looks like a great series.

The picture of Stanley's daughter was awesome, even though you could see the joke coming from a mile away. "Where's the clitoris?"

Guest Fishyswa Report post Posted October 6, 2005 While impressive, it is kind of lame. I mean literally, what are you paying for, greater view of a persons pores? I've watched both and until my site evolves or devolves into having a use for it, I still don't see what's so amazing about HD. And Earl got picked up for another season right?
