Finished season 1 of the Larry Sanders Show last night.  So perfect, and even better than I ever remembered.  The rest of that show needs to hit DVD.  "HEY NOW!"

Starting The Wire tonight...

I've got that too.  I'm hoping they rerelease the gary shandling show. best theme song ever (one of at least).  They released a "best of the rest" collection of larry sanders, I don't know if they're doing that in lieu of releasing the whole thing or what.  I hope they release the whole thing.

this is the theme to gary's show

gary called me up and asked if I could write a theme song
it's about half way over
what do you think so far?

Finished season 3 of The Office last night.  The pales-by-comparison, hardly funny, trite, but still better than 90% of what's on television US version of The Office.

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant crafted perfection, so much so, that the US version doesn't even taint the original for me.

that show is going to be interesting to watch (if i do watch it). i think it's kind of fucked up that they did that to kids. i mean they're just kids. what about the kids?

Thanks Meg....I just cannot turn away from this train wreck of a show. The liquid vomit squirting from the napkin was just, well, priceless. And the years have NOT been good to Bret. I actually worked with Bret's sister back when I was in High School. Not sure how she ended up being an assistant manager at Blockbuster in the white ghetto of north Omaha. She was my boss. She was cool and so was Bret. He called a few times to talk to her. She was tan, blond, and liked to play softball  ;) ;) ;) :o

What?  Is something new coming.  The link just brought me to his website.  I'm having Gervais withdrawal.
I'm digging, digging deep in myself, but who needs a shovel when you have a little boy like mine.

Oh, you might have to be a 'member' of rickygervais.com to see that.  It's worth signing up for, if that's the case.  Promise.

But yeah, a Christmas Special is coming and will be the end of Extras.  If it's even one hundredth as good as The Office's, which I consider to be the best finale/special/episode ever aired on television, I'll be satisfied.

My wife's a big fan. Having seen Hugh Laurie in numerous shows in the UK I can't get past his US accent & haven't given the show much of a chance.

his accent is dead-on, i think.  i hadn't seen him before house, so when I saw him on conan i was blown away by his actual speaking voice.

the wife's way more into than I am, but I like it because it's not like most other tv dramas.  there's not always a happy ending, the main character is a complete asshole, not all that attractive, and a drug addict.  i kinda dig that.

megisnotreal

does anybody else watch mad men on amc? i love this show. it is about advertising execs on madison avenue back in the early '60's.

and it is a great show.

i wish the costume designer would give me one of each of the dresses the ladies wear.

i've also been watching the ken burns documentary "the war." it is on pbs this week. you should check it out.

so my cable provider decided to take a couple channels off. G4TV, but the big one is Game Show Network. i watched GSN a lot. i'm a little upset.
