apocalypsosAn article about the Americanized Office that starts Thursday. -- It chose as its lead Steve Carell of "The Daily Show" to play the American boss of the paper distributor Dunder Mifflin in Scranton ... I shouldn't be so amused that Scranton's the Slough, but it's too damn apt not to amuse me. :) I need to watch my DVDs of the original sometime before Thursday so I can prepared for the suckage. (Then again, I've heard some good reviews, so ... *shrugs* Better to keep my expectations low.)
Also, there's this -- There will be no laugh track for "The Office" on NBC, joining a small number of network comedies that operate sans canned guffaws such as "Scrubs" and "Arrested Development" and the HBO hit "Curb Your Enthusiasm." ("Interesting," Kaling says. "You just made a list of shows that don't suck.") Hee. *G*
Oh, and I took a peek over at USA Network's site, and the new season of The 4400 is now in production. Yay! From the site, In the first episode of the show's second season, the action resumes six months after the series first season ended, and over a year after the 4400 were deposited back on earth. Tom is reinstated at the Department of Homeland Security, reuniting with his partner, Diana, as they continue their investigation into the 4400. Meanwhile, Lily's baby, who was mysteriously conceived during her absence, is now six months old; and Collier's book is published, containing explosive information about the 4400.
A book? Oh, that bodes well. And I seriously hope this makes somebody other than Lily and Richard notice that Collier is a creepy fuck, because seriously, gyah. And the baby! Damn it, I want name and sexfor fic-writing purposes out of rabid curiosity! (And I completely blame Jack-Jack Attack for making me think that raising that kid's going to be exactly like that. *giggles*)
And from going to the site, I learned from a pop-up ad that they sell the Westminster Kennel Club Dog show on DVD. Which is great and all, but I still can't get back seasons of The Amazing Race on DVD, damn it. Grrr.
