How can you not bleep the show even if it's on Netflix? Bleeps are always funnier. I really don't want to know what Buster says in "Bringing Up Buster" both to Michael and about Lucille…ending with "YOU OLD HORNY SLUT" is perfect. Same thing goes for GOB's filthy speech to his employees in "Afternoon Delight"

Lou Johnson is the version we heard…a version I had no idea existed since I had no idea the song I know (and yes love) is a cover. 

Kudos to Disney for finally realizing, with the help of Marvel, that you can make awesome genre movies that are loved by casual fans and MOST hardcore fans alike. I feel pretty good that they know what they're doing with the new Star Wars movies and will make movies that appeal to new fans and old fans alike, as

I was just going to post that…people are seriously going to be so blown away, although I'm getting more and more afraid that the non-book readers will feel that the show hasn't done a proper job of showing how devastating the RW will be, especially from the angle of Roose Bolton betraying Robb. We only met the guy

No I mean 4 and 5 combined into 2 seasons since they take place at the same time and also since 4 has a lot of new characters

yeah maybe you're right…but the last two books being 1500 pages each has to be two seasons. I just can't imagine them condensing material and I also can't imagine the entire saga, as laid out by GRRM, ending on TV instead of in the books first.

There's no way they only do 7 seasons. He's just saying that, as all people say things in the land of make believe known as TV and movies. He's saying it just in case they only do get 7 seasons and he can save face and make it seem like it was his idea. If this show continues to be a huge ratings boon HBO will let

I wonder if part of it was a little pride/ego like "we can do this without Carrell, fuck him". Seems like something a TV exec, especially at NBC, would think.

Yeah never realized that, nor did I realize the whole concept of having an very important part of your life documented by cameras. Jim's speech at the end about that was really great, although early in the run not possible because we didn't know what the hell the camera crews were doing.

Based on the Farm backdoor pilot we saw I would have rather watched that than the post-Michael seasons of this show. There was a certain charm to it, I love Dwight still and there seemed to be some funny actors on the show.

It should have ended with him leaving in the second-to-last episode, then in the finale a "one year later" reunion that featured Michael and Holly's wedding.

I'm sure that within the confines of the 56 hours of this wedding weekend there will be flashbacks and flashforwards, but I still really don't like this idea. I feel like we're kind of being cheated out of one last hurrah through all the greatness that has been this show.

Ted Levine! I hope he asks if one of the victims is a great big fat girl.

Logistics are the hot profession right now

This show has certainly earned my trust in whatever they're planning on doing so I'm definitely willing to see where season 9 goes. I just hope this pretty outlandish idea doesn't bite them in the ass.

The CBS press release is quoted in this story:

Ooh…I'm really not a fan of the entire season taking place during the wedding weekend. That seems like a recipe for disaster in the form of many creative blackholes.

Right? I hate when I like commercials that much…a lot of it has to do with the song though, like the VW ad with Pink Moon. I don't really care about the car, though I have nothing against Ford or VW. Just a good ad that works at evoking some good emotions.

As someone pointed out, in the books people just dismiss the dragon rumors like the snarks and grumkins and the wights and white walkers. That's kind of what Tywin was doing, although he seems to accept that the dragons are alive.

Yeah I guess you're right about Joff…I just think that the fact that Robb dies at a wedding is a nice bookend with Joff dying at his own wedding. That is the ultimate irony.
