"The Office" Nightmare

May 11, 2007

Apparently NBC neglected to let DVR services know the exact running time of "The Office" last night. Sat down this morning with my DVR and it cut out as Pam was heading toward the water. Caught an extra line in the two-minute replay on NBC.com (where there are tons of comments from other distraught show-recorders), [...]

"Kitchen!"

October 6, 2006

Another good episode of "The Office" last night, especially in the detail it has given its characters and their relationships.
I love the direction taken with Dwight and Angela — before, during and after Dwight's unsuccessful coup attempt. Michael, Dwight and the M&M's offered a remarkable moment — have we ever seen Michael look so knowingly [...]

"The Office"

March 31, 2006

One of my little pleasures during the week is watching "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office," together the best hour of comedy in prime time.
"Earl" had an especially good episode recently, when it flashed back to Y2K events to show how Earl and the people around him marked the occasion; it was insanely hilarious. [...]

"Veronica Mars," "My Name Is Earl," "The Office," "CSI"

January 30, 2006

I did like the twist in the middle of "Veronica" — when we found out she wasn't as innocent as we have come to expect from watching shows that aren't as well made as "Veronica." And it was a nifty way to tie up some storylines, while starting a new one for Wallace. But I [...]

It's a regular Sunday in most of the world, including the House of Heldenfels. But out west, the TV critics' press tour goes on, and today NBC had a mixed bag of announcements for the folks there, and those of us getting the network's e-mail.The good news: "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office" have [...]

The Window Opens

January 4, 2006

My heart's still pounding from the end of the Rose Bowl, won by Texas in thrilling fashion. (I watched the early part on ABC, then listened to the later stages on ESPN Radio, where the drama kept me from drifting off to sleep.) But those of you who don't care a fig about football should [...]

NBC Tweaks: "Scrubs" Back, Comedy Shakeup, Look for "Book of Daniel"

December 1, 2005

In today's TV mailbag I have a reader question about "Scrubs" and its possible return. Didn't have an airdate for it then, but I do now, since NBC has announced mid-season plans, including the much-speculated-about move of "My Name Is Earl" from its Tuesday stronghold to Thursdays, and the benching of "Joey."
These are short-term fixes, [...]

Wild Wild Life

November 21, 2005

This was Saturday night at the House of Heldenfels: While my wife ironed, I worked on a newsletter for the arts-booster group at our son's high school. When the ironing was done, we worked together on the newsletter.
This was Sunday night: Having made 500 copies of the newsletter that afternoon, we folded them and stuffed [...]
