Just finished watching Greg Behrendt's new special on Comedy Central: Greg Behrendt is That Guy From That Thing.

The last two segments are about how his wife made John her "free pass" and then Greg ran into him while he was at a hotel gym in New York.

It. Is. AWESOME. Check it out if you can, I couldn't find another listing for it on TV or on youtube.

THE SKEPTICISM

OF SLUGGO

from Comics on Parade #62 (September 1948)

I want to preface this by saying that the Office is my favorite show ever, and I believe it is leagues above most shows on TV right now. I also think the writers are brilliant, every single one of them. So this is in no way an attack or big complaint,  just something I've been observing the past few seasons, purely my opinion. 

Anyway, there was a bit of a discussion going on over at OfficeTally after last night's episode, and it got me thinking.

Essentially a poster was talking about how Pam seemed kind of boring lately. glenvorian replied that the writers wrote both Pam and Ryan into a corner, and I realized I kind of agree with that.

( Possible TL;DR character analysis inside, you've been warned xD )

I own a pog:


'Course it's something sorta Swamp Thing-esque. Also, I didn't realize just how pixelated the thing was 'til I blew it up good and big here for the site. Frankly I'd expect a little better quality control on my rushed-out and cheaply-made fad-exploiting pieces of cardboard.

I'm still in a partial Low Content Mode on the site, here...so I thought I'd show off a few buttons I've picked up for the collection in recent months. Above is, of course, a button for The Critic, starring Jon Lovitz. That was a generally amusing show, I thought.

Here are a couple of Presidential candidates for whom I can easily imagine the pros and cons of both:


The next button is a promo piece for the Heroes TV show:


Boy, that show went from "media/fandom darling" to "oh, that's still on the air?" more quickly than any other show I'm aware of. It's not a bad program, though it does have a tendency to meander. This season's been pretty good, I think, but the "Heroes is ending!" rumor mill is going strong yet again.

Now, I've no idea about this next button:


I realize the answer is only a Googling away, but I find myself preferring the mystery.

So, that new DVD release of the 1988 Ruby-Spears Superman cartoon...I've only watched episode #1 on the first disc so far, and I'm surprised at just how...primitive it all seems, especially considering it was on the air only about four years prior to the debut of Batman: The Animated Series. I'll get into more detail later, I think, but did want to draw attention to this bit from the opening credit sequence:






If this segment from the show's opener was taken from an actual episode, and Titano turns up later on one of the two discs in this DVD set, I will be a very happy man. (I suppose I could check an online episode guide and find out for sure..but what's the fun in that?)

 Hello All!

I am currently working on my MA in English and am working on a paper where “The Office” is my primary text.  The course is titled “Complexity in Contemporary Narrative.”  What I am looking at is just what draws fans to the show...what is it about “The Office” that makes it a show fans come back to week after week?  Is it the ability to relate to the show?  The small-town setting?  The comedy/actors?  Or is it something along the lines of the genre, or formating, of the show - the mockumentary style?  Or is it something entirely different?  

If anyone is interested in answering my questions, I would very much be appreciated!  If you would like to be involved, would it be ok to include quotes, names as to prove my points?  If not, would you still be ok with me using just quotes?  And if not, it will still be helpful just to read through what fans have to say.  If you would like to be included, please indicate how you would like to be cited (username, first/last name, location, etc) 

Also, if this post is in anyway violating the terms of the community, I will take it down, asap.  Promise!:)

Little disappointed that there's no comparison between Harry Crane and Alex from art school. :)

(I went "huh, wha?" at the Jim/Don comparison, too, but they've actually got support!)
