The Office

Monday Notebook & Viewing Catch-Up

November 16, 2009

Local folks should have noticed that WJW is carrying the Browns-Ravens game tonight (which makes me shudder just to think about). Fox's new episodes of "House" and "Lie to Me" have been moved to 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. (I am double-checking on the exact start time, since "House" usually runs an extra [...]

Friday Notebook

November 6, 2009

A few thoughts on "Community," "Parks and Recreation," "The Office," "30 Rock." But if women are on a scale from Cleopatra to Eleanor Roosevelt, what's the comparable men-dex?
Also, I have recently been getting some additional info about the readership for this blog. So, besides my friends in the US and Canada, hello to all of [...]

October 30, 2009

Above, the "Male Prima Donna" video. Three minutes of "Office" merriment. After the jump, notes on "The Office," "30 Rock," "Grey's Anatomy," "Survivor: Samoa" and "CSI." And, before we get there, you can find my latest chat with Lynne Sherwin about "Dancing With the Stars" here.

Monday Notebook, Catching Up on TV

September 28, 2009

In case you missed it, my story about the movie "More Than a Game" (with comments from director Kris Belman, coach Dru Joyce II and LeBron James) is here. I will have a review in the Beacon Journal later this week, but I think the Sunday story makes clear that the review will be favorable.
The [...]

If I Were An Emmy Voter…

September 18, 2009

After the jump, my faves in some acting and series categories, as well as some of those overlooked. As for the show, anyone planning to watch Sunday? And if you are, how much to see Neil Patrick Harris host, and how much because you care about who wins?

Wednesday/Thursday Notes (Updated)

September 16, 2009

Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary has died. NY Times obit is here. She had a memorable voice, and, with Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey, she was a great ambassador for folk music and singer-songwriters. I'll mention just one favorite: their cover of John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane," where she gave it [...]

Friday Notebook

July 10, 2009

"The Menopause Years"? That, seriously, is the subtitle of a planned DVD release of four "Cagney & Lacey" reunion movies from the '90s. That and other topics — including the watch shown above — after the jump.

Friday Notebook: "30 Rock"

May 15, 2009

"A guy crying about a chicken and a baby? I thought this was a comedy show." — Alan Alda on "30 Rock"
Lots to write about, including the above, "The Office" (lovely), "Bones" (weird) and "Survivor" (hooray). But we'll start with "30 Rock."

"The Office": It's the Ensemble, Stupid

"The Office" showed its skill in a couple of ways in the "Casual Friday" episode last night. ….

"The Office": Triumphant

April 24, 2009

As I have said here more than once, one of the things I very much like about "The Office" is that Michael Scott is not a complete idiot. He's out of his depth as a manager, but he's a terrific salesman. And last night he did one of his greatest selling jobs ever.

Funny Business: "The Office," "30 Rock"

April 17, 2009

I have seen only the first five minutes or so of "Parks and Recreation" (liked the Easter-egg-hunt bit) but I will save it for a separate post. I did get through the night's warhorses, "30 Rock," and "The Office," both of which were quite satisfying.

Thursday Comedy: "The Office," "30 Rock," "Parks and Recreation"

April 10, 2009

The Emmy magazine cover notwithstanding, I'd say the Thursday comedy was about 60-40 good, and the other 40 wasn't entirely awful. …

"30 Rock," "The Office"

I'm hoping NBC will post Liz's ad in uninterrupted form. But until it does, here's the clip from the show. Many, many, laughs …

"Amazing Race" and Other Notes: "Taken," "30 Rock," "The Office," "CSI"

March 8, 2009

I feel as if I have been unsuccessfully stacking wood all weekend, taking care of various chores, thinking about blogging but never quite getting around to it. I've got a backlog of Thursday shows in my head, went to the movie "Taken" last night, watched a fair amount of Akron-Kent State basketball on TV and, [...]

Hunka Hunka TV Viewing: "Survivor," "30 Rock," "The Office," "Grey's"/"Practice"

February 13, 2009

I was glad to have "Survivor" back (and look forward even more to the return of "The Amazing Race") even though it added to the big steaming pile of viewing that is my Thursday night. That said, the season premiere did not offer much in the way of surprises, and I already fear that there's [...]
