More Thursday: "Grey's Anatomy," "The Office"

May 9, 2008

A lot of stuff on Thursday. Pre-posted on "30 Rock," below, and got to "Survivor," also below. Not sure when I will get to "Lost" or "CSI" or "Earl." Did manage to see these two. One stumbled, one was steady. And the loser is …

Friday Morning Backtrack

November 16, 2007

I did get through "Earl," "The Office" and "30 Rock." I may post some longer thoughts late. For now, my amusement was at best piecemeal — the Joy stuff in "Earl," the trash-talking in "The Office." …

If You're Still Wondering Why the Writers Are Striking…

November 7, 2007

This video from the staff of "The Office" explains it about as well as anyone has. Note how much work they did without compensation for the sake of "new media." (Thank you to TV Tattle for posting the link.)

"The Office": Silly and More

November 2, 2007

Sorry …
I know, it wasn't it a typical episode on Thursday. But it was also both extremely funny — and a meaningful moment in the Jim-Pam relationship. …

Thursday Note

November 2, 2007

I have been jammed up. Early Thursday evening I was out (and thank you to the Bath-Richfield Kiwanis for inviting me to speak), I've been staring down some work deadlines and I have had a family issue to handle. So I'm a bit behind on viewing and way behind on posting. I hope to elaborate [...]

Saturday Morning, Friday and Thursday Nights

October 20, 2007

Anyone care to comment on last night's "Friday Night Lights"? Are we in better territory than at the start of the season, or worse?
As for Thursday, was that the worst "Office" episode ever or what?
Also, in case you missed them, you can link here to my reviews of "Things We Lost in the Fire" and [...]

"The Office" Thursday

October 12, 2007

"You're so hot, you could melt all this stuff."
I'll elaborate later, after I finish a couple of assignments. But, in brief, it felt like the weakest episode so far this season, and the second half-hour was especially draggy. …

"The Office": Argentina!

October 5, 2007

Just as a reminder that I wear a movie hat, here's a link to my review of "Into the Wild." I've also been meaning to post some thoughts about "The Kingdom," which I saw last weekend, and about the style of director Peter Berg. Maybe over this weekend.
As for the continued march through Thursday's shows, [...]

Summer With "The Office"

August 30, 2007

I have been badgering the "Office" fans in my office into watching this three-minute bit. Very funny, and a great way to get revved up for the new season. (Another great way is the upcoming DVD of the third season, where the deleted scenes are copious and as funny as stuff they left in.)

Friday Morning

May 18, 2007

After I finish up some projects, I want to talk more about how good "The Office" was (the look on Pam's face at the end, Jan in Michael's car, Ryan to Kelly … ) and what a drag "Grey's Anatomy" was (except any time James Pickens Jr. and Loretta Devine were working). But until I [...]
