The Office
I had originally planned to do "Survivor" and "The Office" as one post, but figured the events of the latter were so momentous that they deserved their own entry. I'll get back to Captain America and Hydra later, maybe around lunchtime. Now, onto the
The Office
For me, the highlight of last night's "The Office," if not the last year of TV comedy, was Toby's despair and frustration as he had to pose for the employee ID photo. Simply a brilliant episode all around. Since I wrote about it in
The Office
This post will only be about "The Office." I may not get a chance to watch "The O.C." and "Earl" until the weekend. Since "Office" isn't really a show you can spoil, I'm going to leave this
My Name Is Earl
(In this fantabulous edition, in order: "The Office," "My Name Is Earl," "The Loop" and "The O.C.") Sometimes, spoilers can mess you up on things that have nothing to do with plot. Take this week's "The Office"
Grey's Anatomy
So, the Shawn Ryan interview is in today's paper. In addition to reprinting the exchange I already put here, this was the most interesting thing he said: "I spoke with the writers at the beginning of the year and I said, 'Let's not save
American Idol
Hey, did you know I've been watching a lot of "Sopranos" lately? Wasn't sure if I'd mentioned it enough or not. Anyway, last night's viewing was 100% moozadell-free. First, I zipped through the two "American Idol" performance shows
Battlestar Galactica
It's not often that I find myself liking a TV episode more than its creator does. There are plenty of times where the opposite is true (see any episode of "7th Heaven"). But I was still surprised to hear Ronald Moore trashing Friday night's
My Name Is Earl
...and "The O.C." has been on the wrong side of it all season. Two years ago, last night's episode would have been filled with meta references and gags -- at the very least, this should have been the show where Summer wore the "Donna
The Office
I asked a half a dozen TV critics about that "Office" vending machine gag, asked at least as many friends who are as obsessed with pop culture as I am, and nobody could identify the previous show to use that gag. And just as I was on the
The Office
The part of my brain that stores useless pop culture trivia has apparently exceeded its maximum capacity. I was watching an upcoming episode of "The Office" today, and there's a scene where Jim and Pam place all the items from Dwight's desk -- including
My Name Is Earl
As Harry Callahan once said, a man's got to know his limitations, and I came face to face with my own twice yesterday. First, I popped in a review tape of Bravo's "Project Runway," a show I missed altogether in its first season. After
Gilmore Girls
Another day, another attempt to mention "Arrested Development" in the column for at least an entire week. (Today's column talks about it in context of the ratings for "Prison Break.") So as I'm sitting around, scratching for an excuse to name-check it
