"The Office" is lame. I tried getting into it a few times.


I only caught a glimpse of "Earl" myself last night and I got the Nick Cage impression as well, at least visually as I was getting the kids to bed at that time too.

I watched Earl for lack of anything better and I was surprised. Got a few laughs. The Office was just plain weird though.

Very interesting. The show wasn't the slapstick humor or even hillarious. It was amusing and I would consider watching it again.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

That woman who hit Earl in the face with her bible, I think that was the actress who played Mrs. Willingham (I think that was the name) who was the secretary on the West Wing.

That show is hilarious, plus the fact that Earl looks alot like Jimmy Buffett in the "Tales from Margaritavision".

Just saw the tape of last night's show.... hilarious :lol: :lol: :lol:

Speaking of Nic Cage/H.I. , Earl did a pretty obvious sight gag of the thief wearing a pair of nylons as a mask. Totally Raising Arizona :roll:

...still cracks me up though :lol:

I've liked Earl so far. I've always been a Jason Lee fan, but it was still better than I thought it would be.



By the way, for anyone that hasn't seen it, the BBC version of "The Office" is the funniest show in television history. No joke.

Are you talking about the season of Earl or West Wing? This was Earl's 2nd episode of the season on Tuesday. This past Sunday was the season premiere of the West Wing. Both look like great seasons at least starting off they are!
