The Office is Back

Posted in television on April 18, 2008 by tinyalien

The second episode since it has been back was tonight. It was good. When I heard that Kevin and Andy were fighting over a parking spot, I thought they were fighting with each other. I was just a little dissapointed when I figured out they weren’t fighting each other but helping each other get back there spaces. I just think it would have been funnier if they were fighting each other. Anyways they were still funny and Michael was awesome as usual. I was laughing my ass off when Michael calls Wendy’s (the fast-food resturaunt) thinking that it’s some “juicy red head”. The end, when Michael and Dwight are singing “The Day Music Died”, was also hilarious.

The first episode was funny, awkward, and almost creepy. Michael and Jan’s relationship was so fucked up. Some of the parts were hard to laugh at, because it was so so sad. For example, the part where he lays on his tiny bed in front of Jan’s huge bed. The most awkward and creepy part was probably when Michael leans over to Pam and says “I don’t want to eat the food”. Pam says “Why?” and Michael replies “I think Jan might be trying to poison me”. I also really liked it when she brakes his $200 plasma television with his Dundee Award. The episode was actually funnier when I was thinking about it than when I was watching it.

Dead Like Me (Season 1)

My cousin had been trying to get me to watch this for awhile. I kept procrastinating because it didn’t appeal to me for some reason. I was wrong. This is a very good show. It has a clever story and hilarious humor. The only real complaint I have is that they don’t follow up very well on previous episodes. For example, in one episode they introduce a new a character who was very important in that episode but after that episode she never showed up again. The main character’s relationship with her just ended when the episode ended. The writing in the show is really good. Rub’s dialogue is very good. I love characters that are assholes and very intelligent. Milly/George is a character you can understand and the actress does really well with the character. I enjoyed season 1 very much and am now in the process of getting through season 2. Which so far has been just as good as the 1st. Although I hear that Showtime dropped the show so it just kind of ends. Even though I know it’s going to happen, the sudden ending is going to piss me off I’m sure.

House M.D (Season 2) & Kill Bill Vol. 2

I went through season 2 just as fast as I did the first…most of season 2 I should say. I borrowe most of my movies/t.v. series/games from my cousin. Well he let his sister borrow House Season 2, and when I get it the last disk is missing. So I haven’t seen the last 3 or 4 episodes and what sucks ass even more is the fact that the episode I was left with is a “to be continued” episode. So I’m just left hanging. Is Foreman gonna die?  Is Cameron infected? Are the pigeons the cause? All these questions and no answer. Once again I put my faith in my cousin to be my friend and he comes through…once again. He downloaded the last episodes so I can be a very happy man. Now I just can’t wait for him to buy season 3 :)

I watched Kill Bill Vol. 2 yesterday. I don’t own Vol. 1 because 2 was a freebie and my DVD collection is low. Like I said, I borrow most my movies so I don’t own many. Now back to the subject. It doesn’t hold up very well. The first time I watched it, I thought it was a really good movie but this time around the acting bugged me in parts and I was bored in the middle. I almost turned it off about three times. A good movie but it just doesn’t hold up well. In other words, a good freebie but not a good buy. Stick with the rent.

House M.D. (Season 1)

I started watching the first season of House on dvd this week. I had seen episodes here and there on t.v. but never really got into the habit of watching it weekly. Anyway I borrowed it from my cousing and it is awesome, as expected. House is definantly one of my favorite characters in anything, of all time. He masters dark comedy. I am just flying through the episodes. I have watched 4 today and am getting ready to watch a couple more before I go to bed. An awesome show and is my favorite as of right now. The Office is funny as hell but I still find House more entertaining. I thought I had seen most of the first season but I was wrong. I think I watched most of the second season because all these episodes are new to me. Oh well, that makes it more entertaining anyway.

The Office Is Back…

…And still funny as hell. The season premier was tonight and if you didn’t know that then you should be very ashamed because The Office is the funniest show on television. The premier was an hour long and from what I hear the next two or three episodes will also be an hour long. The US version is definantly better than the UK version. Micheal was hilarious and Dwight was beyond hilarious. Before The Office, the season premier of My Name is Earl was on. It was also an hour long and funny. It wasn’t as funny as The Office but ya know it still made me laugh. Anyways, I am glad that these two shows are back. Now all I need to do is buy the damned DVR station for my media player. I hate spending money but it should be worth it. I also need to go to Jamaal’s (my cousin aka Lil Cube; he has his own blog; just click the link) so I can watch the season premier of Heroes. He has DVR and, fortunatly for me, lets me take that for granted. I missed that because I didn’t even know it was coming back this soon. Damn 3 awesome shows coming back and they are all from NBC. NBC is awesome!
