An Officey Update
I’ve mentioned before that something’s been really off about The Office this season, but with the last two episodes before the break this year the show seems to have fixed what was ailing it. That ‘uncomfortably awkward’ comedy from the early seasons is back (especially in Scott’s Tots), and on top of this the characters [...]
The Great Greg Daniels Swap
Back when the first season of Parks and Recreation ended, I said that the show had barely, baaaarely shown enough potential for me to be a return viewer in the second season. The first four episodes weren’t much more than ‘The Other Office’ and meh eps to boot, but then 105 and 106 were actually [...]
The Missing Ingredient is Comedy
I’ve wanted to comment on the new season of The Office since it began, but decided to put it off until after the wedding ep. DB and I have both found this season to be lacking, and we were both hoping that this was because they’d been putting all their efforts into making the wedding [...]
Jerk’s Show Return Spectacular!
I found after watching a couple of the season premieres this season that I had a few words to say about them, but not enough that I thought they warranted a post of their own. But now that I’ve watched all of the premieres (well, almost. Season five sucked enough that I haven’t worked up [...]
Jerk’s Top TV Geeks II: The Geek List
A quick note before we start: these lists aren’t in any particular order, they’re just the five people I felt best fit my Geek definition. It took long enough to whittle down these lists, actually figuring out who is geekier than who would have been a bit much, I think.
1.) Dwight Schrute, The Office
Now some [...]
Party Down Out-Offices The Office
I kinda wanted to talk about the finale of The Office, but I knew I’d have some sort of ness connecting it to Party Down, so I had to wait for that finale because that’s how my brain works. Best to not question my brain workings, that way lies madness. Annnnnyway, I’ll start with The [...]
Of Parks and Recreation
I’ve been trying to keep up on Parks and Recreation. I haven’t watched this week’s episode yet, due to the fact that I just watched last week’s ep last night, and can’t bring myself to watch two episodes so close together. I keep wanting it to be awesome, but I’ve been let down so far. [...]
I Don't Know Where This is Going
Back from Easter visiting and able to watch the shows from last Thursday and Friday finally, including the two eps of The Office that aired. This season started off really strong, I loved the stuff with Holly. After that though, it kind of seemed like The Office fell into a routine. Not that it wasn’t [...]
Is it just me or did last week rock?
Last week really stood out to me as one of the best single weeks of TV that I’ve ever experienced. If you go by Sunday as the start of the week (I normally start with Mondays), then it’s even better as it included the awesome Superbowl episode of The Office. But for this post, let’s [...]
Thursday TV Takes Planning
It’s Wednesday night and for me that usually means making dinner and well waiting for Thursday. I like to use the night to catch up on other things but I don’t have any of what Kring would call “appointment television”, yeah I hold grudges. It’s gonna take a while.
This Thursday especially I’ve actually been almost more [...]
