Ryan's not nice enough for Jim.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Experimental TV: Comedy
This thread is part of an experiment to determine Buffistas' interest in television discussion. It will close on June 1st, 2007, after which there will be a brief skirmish to sort out what we want to do next. This thread is for discussion of all comedy, regardless of airing station. [NAFDA]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Jim: I liked you better as a temp
Ryan: Me, too.

I liked that Jim stuck around for Michael's "party". Once again, Michael's awkward side made me care about him. Also, I saw the Scrubs musical. Very cute.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Continued from the Drama thread - last night was Fox Pilot Night at our house. The only comedy I watched was The Return of Jezebel James, which is Amy Sherman Palladino's new show with Parker Posey.
I wish it were better. Maybe it will get better, I don't know. As it currently stands, it's very awkward and not very funny. Parker Posey is playing a broader version of Lorelai and it just doesn't quite work in a sitcom context. Losing the laugh track would be a huge step in the right direction, but honestly I'm just not sure Palladino can write broad sitcom-style comedy. I don't think a half-hour format is right for this show.

I'm hoping that Parker Posey can pull it out.

I really hope we have some sort of sitcom thread. I loved talking with you all about The Office. I don't actually care if it is a dedicated thread, or a boxed-set style thread, but I hope we have something.
The experimental threads should close today, so goodbye everyone. See you on the other side.
