I love the way Cheryl Hines approaches the role in this. Certainly not lead character material and you have to overlook why a Southerner feels so comfortable on Long Island Besides, people love Dalia, how far off the tree is she from Dallas?

I like Dalia just fine, but I don't think it's that difficult to play Dalia actingwise. She only has one facial expression she has to use for the entirety of the series' run

Who are Javier and Yoni?

I must have missed something. Who exactly is her character? When did she enter the scene. She's not George's girlfriend right now?

Are there gonna be any threads about how Shaun White quit the slopestyle? I know I'm disappointed in him.

That's too bad b/c I'm a humongous Olympics expert and have been published for Olympics related articles and wish I had your job because I could do awesome at writing a daily write-up each day. Todd vdW does think I suck though.

Last Olympics I discovered Cross-country skiing is actually very exciting, more so than Marathon/distance running or cycling in my opinion because unlike cycling, it is about time and speed, and not just tactics. In cycling, you ride with the pack and sprint at the end, and the entirety of the race matters in…

Yeah, I remember last Olympics, there's a news building in downtown Washington D.C. that has a live news-feed scroll across the street, and I was trying to steadfastly avoid the results and I just got spoilers just from emerging from the metro and looking out into the street. It was ridiculous

I actually think that Seth Meyers would work better in 11:30 than Jimmy who seems like a niche oddball anyway. Who cares if Jimmy has 3 years seniority over Seth with NBC (one joined SNL in 98, the other in 01). Seth is a much safer ratings-friendly choice at 11:30

I generally agree with you, but I could side with the OP in one sense: that Conan and Letterman have sort of defined themselves as "People who got cheated by Leno" pretty strongly and it comes off to some extent as bitter.

I was too young to know what was going on in 1993 at 11:30 at night, so I can't comment. I've always thought Letterman and Leno are both lazy but I've only seen them in the 2000s.
On a larger note, how long does that bitterness last? I was angry with Leno for about a year but 4 years later, I barely can even remember…

He might even get a deal with a TV show too.

On the Conan 10th Anniversary DVD they had a featurette with the guy on the writing staff who's job it was to watch hours of TV every day and sift through the jokeworthy stuff and everything

I think the monologue is the only decent part of Jay Leno's show. He's a decent stand-up comedian. He's just horrible at interviews and segments. How can he even take credit for something like Jaywalking when the comedy is coming from other people

I like Samberg. I just think that him playing a cop is a little bit of a stretch. I mean, him being a paper salesman or a city government administrator would be much more sensible. Maybe that's also part of the problem, is that the Daniels/Schur team isn't really putting much thought into the whole cop genre the way…

There are three guys in the office, Sully, Hitchcock and one other guy who are Jerry and I don't see them even having the potential to be Jerry.

hey, this has been a productive day, I just turned this post into a blog entry:

granted, I take back my accusation of you being condescending

Thank you. I'm flattered to make a point someone sees.

Office has plenty of them: Pam, Jim (with his trademark staring at the camera), Oscar, and Stanley are an extreme example. Anyone who considered Michael Scott's behavior odd (and later Robert California, Vickers D'Angelo, Andy Bernard) and reacted as such would qualify. But as the show became more realistic, some of…
