Okay.  I'm hoping that's just some background info they feel they have to burn through in the pilot, and then it's going to improve.  A lot.  Please?

Armando Iannucci was one of the writers on "I'm Alan Partridge," when Sally Phillips played the new desk clerk.

Yeah, it took me awhile to figure out where I'd seen Sally Phililps before, and then realized it was behind the hotel desk giggling at Alan in "I'm Alan Partridge."  She looks exactly the same.

The stuff the Finnish Prime Minister said, at least once, was Aki Kaurismaki.

"Anachronist!…Anachronist!… Anachronist!…Anachronist!

I am really looking forward to Sean Saves the World, since I loved Better Off Ted.

Yeah, I know he looks the part, but Wait.  Wasn't there an episode once with evil Gilligan?  In that case, okay.

Joan is so obviously Ginger.
Peggy is Mary Anne.
Ted Chaough is the Professor.
Bert Cooper is Thurston Howell III.
Roger is the Skipper.
Megan's Mom is Lovey.

Harry Hamlin's just finished a season on Shameless. I love him here, but if you want his best performance you must watch "Clash of the Titans."  This is the special way he calls his horse:  "Pegasus! ….Pegasus! …. Pegasus! …. Pegasus!"

Roger is rich, charming, funny and single.  Meeowww.

Yes other Captain.  A whole mess of names got together to form the mega agency Omnicom. It'll be something like that.  Or else Drapercom.

Wear a bell!

Yeah, and that's why Clinton makes a good politician.  Any hint of being sexy or fashionable (pantsuits anyone?) gets you attacked. I was almost worrying for Selina getting so into that song, swaying and everything.

Lots of people faulting Joan Pete and Burt here for "making a public offering" without consulting the other partners.  But they were just testing the waters, seeing what numbers they could get before taking it to Roger and Don.  Joan even says Don doesn't care about any of this…

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builts a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
-Whistling tunes we hid in the dunes by the seaside
-Whistling tunes we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they…

Okay, I guess in this show they talk about nothing but my brother/stepbrother/son/stepbrother-in-law home from jail for the most part.  Except the stepbrother and his dad get to talk about their business. It's just that the ladeez spend all their time staring deeply into ex-convicts eyes asking him what he thinks. …

Kind of like this show…..??
Every scene fails Bechdel test.

So many things, Nathan and your world of flops will be so so missed.

Linda says "aaaaaaww"

Siggy infected everybody!
