So I just watched season 1 of the Office UK. Anyone that thinks the UK version is better than the US version needs to be stabbed in the face. Repeatedly. Other than Martin Freeman and certain moments with Gareth, the UK version absolutely blows.

This is true, but even comparitively to Steve Carell it's not like he alone makes the show so much better than Carell does. It's basically just the Ricky Gervais show with 1-2 supporting characters, so it gets super boring.
I will say this, Gervais make the show wayyyy more awkward at times than Carell ever did, which is saying a lot (and is hilarious).

New Happy Endings tonight at 10/9c for those of us that like it. And apparently they are going to have new episodes every Sunday and Tuesday from here on out. Which is kinda cool, but sucks at the same time.

I read they were only doing Sunday and Tuesday episodes for about 3 weeks. We'll see. Maybe the show can do well for a bit on Sundays without any of the major top shelf 10 pm Sunday dramas currently airing.

The scene where he pretends to fire the secretary/ UK Pam equivalent is up there for the most awkward moment I've ever seen.

Poor Dave. Throwing hay-makers only to have them turned into devastating arm bars.

Netflix and Warner Bros. Television have reached a licensing agreement that will give the subscription service streaming rights to a grab bag of shows that includes such programs as the J.J. Abrams-produced "Revolution" and evergreen favorites like "The West Wing."
|
Also Fringe and Chuck with other shows soon to follow.

Anyone that doesn't like West Wing is obviously communist or a terrorist. Or both. Also not human.

While I watched every episode of the West Wing, even after it clearly fell apart, I really didn't love it. So over simplified on the policy stuff and over-dramatized on some of the other stuff, plus Sorken had to go all sorken with the love triangles. That said I did really love CJ.
