There is so such thing as bad publicity.

ATHF Movies comes out 3/23.

I am watching the Scrubs episode with Matthew Perry on Comedy Central.

It is probably the funniest episode of the series.

Houshphandzadeh wrote:On the topic of Extras, although this season has produced many funny moments, I'm starting to really have trouble believing that Andy would keep that utter idiot as his agent and, to a lesser extent, that moron woman as his only friend. Nearly all his moments of embarassment come from the sheer boneheadery of those two, rather than from any believable (and therefore, relatable) situation. It's starting to really ruin the humor for me. I could get past just the friend (what's her name, Molly?) but it's inconceivable that Andy would tolerate his agent.


I agree with this 100%. It's starting to become really frustrating, not to mention a little formulaic.

Our singer is on Knights Of Prosperity tonight. Don't know what the character's name is. He says he was in an elevator or something.

you don't

(though you might- it's probably just one line)

EDIT: Apparently "Young Executive #2" got fired. Oh well.

Friday Night Lights = best drama on network TV
Lost = back in a week from tonight, about 35 minutes ago
American Idol/House = everyone was watching it, fox's best hour for a scripted show since an X Files episode in 1997 (pre internet and cable being a norm in homes)
DSP = played Madden until 1 and didnt watch anything

I still can't believe the numbers are so good for House. I love the show, but that episode was pretty weak. It was very obviously an attempt to bring emotion and introspection to the characters in place of a medical mystery. It was also done to kind of wrap up the Tritter storyline. I'd really rather a return to form for the show instead...

I so expected her to say "Mine too". At least that would have been a good "twist" at the end there...

Has anyone else noticed that last week's episode of Rome is NOT on demand yet? It is usually on at Midnight after the show airs.

I watched 2 shows for the first time this week: Criminal Minds and Shark. Have to say I was pretty impressed with both.

CM was very intense, it had a kind of story that I am still thinking about a few days later. However, just from watching one episode none of the characters really stick out to me and the acting seems a little rehearsed.

Shark was cool, James Woods plays a great character. I watch CSI and I think I am going to stick around for another hour now.

Shark is one of those shows that just looks born cancelled. I've been burned too many times by those shows, and gave up on trying to watch them (Boomtown, Firefly, Line of Fire).

My wife loved Boomtown. She also used to love NKoTB.

It was good, I must admit that I was pretty down on this show because Tina Fey was the head writer of the worst period of SNL during my lifetime and I can't stand her. That said, apparently she's a better sitcom writer then sketch and Alec Balwin is brilliant.
