But The Office wasn’t a show where Michael Scott appeared to be a buffoon but was actually slowly and steadily making everyone around him better paper salesmen. He was just a buffoon of a boss.

It’s weird, because I agree with you so much regarding the generally quality of reviews on this site these days, and yet your comment is posted under one of the few critics here who actually manages to be, dare I say, critical in their analysis? Almost as if you’re angry at them not for the quality of their work, but…
Well, this was not a great episode. And as I finished watching, I reflected on how there seems to be a Law of Diminishing Returns with this writers’ group - both here with Ted Lasso and with their Lasso-adjacent Apple TV+ offering Shrinking - a show I initially loved but abandoned halfway through the season, even with…
Erik, you’re an old timer and we know how you roll. But your post was surface level pedantry. I long for the days of quality comments from you but you are truly the bottom of the barrel here.
My favorite joke from the show was the quick throwaway “you have too many dogs!” line between the two women in the house when Gene is running away from Barry and you see him get chased through the yard by about 35 dogs of various sizes. That shit killed me. This show, though, just has so many of these quick, hilarious…
Which was the style at the time.
One of the many things I love about the show is how they handle the identity changes of legacy characters and weave them into the fabric of the stories being told.
Thought that was Brian Doyle Murray?
Sold! This sounds awesome, and I am definitely looking forward to Gilpin getting another shot to do something really fun and strange.
If you can’t laugh at a rain stick being used to serenade a table, then you have a poor sense of humor.
She’s been doing it for 10 years, but sure, what she really needs is the respect of internet men.
Honestly just casting Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca accounts for so much of the success of the show IMO
Whatever Buzz Killington, I got half an evil Christoper Lloyd monologue before he got electrocuted & Jack Black & Lizzo as the sweetest space couple in the universe.
This felt like the full pendulum swing in the opposite direction of Andor, and I mean that in a good way. Star Wars contains room for multitudes, including goofy shit. And WOW was this episode some goofy shit!
The only thing it has in common is the mockumentary filming. It’s not a retread, it’s just a similar set up. It stands on its own merits. You don’t have to like it for whatever reason you feel. No product is for everyone. Just don’t pull that tired “Are they going to accuse me of being racist” card. It’s boring and…
I thought it looked like two sleeves. Each one had three buttons at the ends just like a suit jacket.
This is the best thing on the internet since Belgian techno supergroup Technotronic released their epoch-defining dance club smash Pump Up the Jam.
“So the movie goes like this,” he said. “The biggest drug cartels in the world get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartel’s drugs and keep taking them over and over.”
There’s something SERIOUSLY wrong with you, Dude!
It’s a trap!
