A few random things...

Thanks for the shout out Kev, big bang is great....but I'm 100 percent with you on the office. I just don't get it. I didn't enjoy the movie and tried to watch the show and don't find it amusing.

Also, I just heard Teresa was easy.....I'll need her direct cell number :love:

I :lovestruc The Office! I think I like it though because I can relate to it. I've worked for a man like Michael and it just cracks me up...

Office Space is one of Matthew's favorite movies...not sure if that's the one that you are referring to or not...I couldn't get into the movie either, but there are some good lines in it...and who could forget the red stapler? :laughing:

I haven't really watched Big Bang Theory, but I need to. Everyone seems to love that show!

I love the Office and BBT. I am also becoming a pretty big fan of Modern Family (new this season). I love how it is done. "Red headed daddy is angry daddy." Loved that line.

[FireDancer]

The movie Office Space and the show The Office are not related. The movie is one of the funniest things ever. The real Office (with Ricky Gervais) is hilarious. The American version started pretty good but Michael Scott went from a half wit to a completely unbelievable character with the mental acuity of a 3rd grader.

If I didn't think the term jumped the shark has jumped the shark I would say the American Office has jumped the shark.

WHAT! Did jump the shark jump the shark already? I love saying jump the shark.

I really enjoyed Office Space but I have to admit I don't really get The Office. I watch it sometimes, but it hasn't completely caught my attention.

I have the red stapler. They sold them at Costco in a bonus pack. When my DH saw it we were so excited I thought they were going to call the police.:rotfl:

I love BBT, but I have at admit I think the Penny/Leonard thing is getting old quickly.

I can see where the term jump the shark has jumped the shark. What was that 30 years ago?

[dpuck1998]

More important, I really enjoy How I Met Your Mother also. Barney is freak'en hilarious. But I agree with the penny/Lenard thing, the same goes for the Barney/Robin thing.

[Launchpad11B]

You watch too much TV

[crazydisneyman]

Big Bang Theory is awesome. I look forward to it every week.

I also like Glee very much. When they did the Single Ladies Dance I was thinking of John. :thumbsup2

I agree, but I don't find it quite as bad. I am not sure why.

I represent that.:rotfl:

[slapwhitey]

Agreed on both accounts, really takes away from the dynamics of some of the characters and relationships. Still gonna watch though, just sayin'.

[FireDancer]

WHAT! Did jump the shark jump the shark already? I love saying jump the shark.

You can continue to say it. The thing with anything that has jumped the shark is they go on a while after jumping said shark. If they stopped when they jumped the shark it would be called going out on top.

As for the phrase I prefer the replacement...blew up the fridge.

[auroralark]

I love The Office... I think it's one of those shows you have to watch from the beginning, otherwise you didn't get it. I certainly didn't see what the big deal was until I went back and watched it from the beginning. Now it's one of my favorite shows. The same goes for Arrested Development, which Pete mentioned, and is my favorite TV show of all time. It's hilarious - but you have to watch the whole thing. Otherwise you just won't understand everything.

[calypso*a*go-go]

One of my favorite new comedies is The Middle w/Patricia Heaton. I've watched it twice now and both times had "laugh out loud" moments for me.

unlike it too, though Jt reminds me a lot of Malcolm on the Middle without the hysteria.

Another nod to Arrested Development. I miss how this show ended up being cancelled. :confused3 And I agree you absolutely have to watch from the beginning. :rotfl2:

I loved AD. I think the humor was just over a lot of people's head. It was subtle and you had to really pay attention and know the story line to get a lot of it. I found it a lot like British comedy in that way.

[A.Mickey]

I think my fave show is How I Met Your Mother....
I love BBT too! I agree Leonard is just annoying...anytime he is on the screen he is just so whiny! I think it should be the Sheldon show and it would be awesome!

I love Modern Family! I think, it might just be my new favorite! I still have to make Jason watch it. I loved the Costco episode!

Oh and Glee is wonderful too! I watch too much TV...no wonder I barely have time to post. :happytv:

[Hollie]

My boyfriend shanghaied me into watching The Office, every episode from the beginning, and I didn't start to like it until about halfway through season 4.

I can honestly say though that the show wouldn't be worth watching without Dwight.

[christygobar]

Andy is nearly as funny as Dwight to me also! Love that show. Love the humor and the sheer uncomfortable-ness you feel when you watch Michael. Its truly a love or hate show. I love Jim and Pam so I am firmly in the "hasn't jumped the shark" camp ;)

DH and I have two shows we truly watch together - The Office is one and How I Met Your Mother is another. He doesn't think Barney and Robin are going to last - because in his words "then how can Barney be Barney if he's with Robin????"

( I watch a whoooole lot more tv than that - way too much entirely ;) , but those are probably the top 2)

[UrsulasShadow]

I like BBT, but it's not my all-time favorite.

Glee has that spot for now.

[FairyGodmotherJen]

Another vote for How I Met Your Mother. I haven't seen anywhere near as much of it this year as I'd like, though. DH and I didn't find it until last February, so we've been going back through the DVDs of the individual seasons when we can borrow them from his brother.

Haven't manage to see BBT yet - but it looks hillarious...with as big a sci-fi geek as my DH is, I actually understand all the references in the commercials, and I've laughed pretty hard just at them.

[dpuck1998]

You watch too much TV

Some would agree ;)

What show "blew up the fridge?" ?

I do love Patricia Heaton!!

[Annette_VA]

Was a movie, not a show. Indiana Jones 4

(At least I think that's what he's referring to!)

Ahh yea, of course, Indiana Jones 4....that was pretty bad!

Almost as bad as Cate Blanchett's black wig....

[belle8306]

How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory are both hilarious!
"Rock, Paper, Lizard, Scissors, Spock".:rotfl2:
My DH and I also like The Office and Glee. We put our DVR to good use.:thumbsup2

[MerriePoppins]

and I remember when Grey's Anatomy had your heart...:sad2:

Now I just need to find someone to play with....

And I still watch it...but they killed George. It's just too painful.

I tried to watch the American Office - but I just don't think Americans can be as pathetic and yet likeable as David Brent. I think American comedy is often too obvious, I tend to laugh at the subtle things and innuendo.

I don't think we have Glee yet (I'm guessing it's got something to do with cheerleading?) but they have shown the first episode of Modern Family - genius! I love it :rotfl: You can tell it's on a par with Frasier, very well written and good attention to detail.

I was a bit suprised that a few of the crew liked Weeds :eek: I think it's really well done, downtroden humour, painful yet funny. Just didn't think it would appeal to (dare I say it) people older than we are :duck: No one over here seems to have even heard about it so it'll be good to be able to chat with people who have seen it :yay: I also think they haven't run out of steam yet as these shows often do (Prison Break springs to mind).

[DisneyKevin]

I'm assumimg she's talking about Teresa.

I wouldnt want her to end up in a broom closet on the Podcast cruise.

:scared1:

But I don't feel dead. :tiptoe:

[cassiez76]

i love big bang theory. my hubby usually has to hit pause on the dvr to explain the sci-fi nerdy stuff to me.

i also love how they bring in sarah gilbert and laurie metcalf on the show too (all were on roseanne with leonard).

glee is also a favorite of mine! i also don't get the office or 30 rock. i just don't see what is so funny or great about them. i'm glad i'm not the only one!
