    I am at work hence have no time to get into this, but what the hell: Can anyone think of a more tragically fallen star than Eric Roberts? I mean someone with actual talent who threw it all away ...


    Discuss, please, so that I can eavesdrop.

    On the same day, the New York Review of Books published an interview with Victor Miller, author of the original Friday the 13th script, on the publication of his new volume of feminist criticism. Mr. Miller was quoted as saying, "While I was writing about girls in bikinis being hacked up by guys wearing hockey masks, my mind was never far removed from the idea of Virginia Wolff."

    Oy. I’m sure the women in the cast and audience of The Hours will appreciate that remark. Yikes.

    Amy Poehler stuffing her bra and using a wireframe to suggest that flat chest hides money. Cheap.


    A lot of this show revolves around Amy being a ditzy sex object.


    This is the third show in a line of NBC slop that pantomime the professional work environment. Which is great, if you're a college kid who's never worked in one before.


    If you actually work in the office, it's not funny, it's childish.

    It may be great, but can I say the concept is pretty suckass boring. City council whodamajigit and building parks? Not that paper suppliers are supposed to be funny, but it's the all around misfitness of The Office which makes it work. Which means this new show will have to do pretty much the same thing, take something that's as boring as sweater fuzz and make it quirky and interesting. The problem is that show already exists. And that may work, or it may always be the big brother saying, "Suck it! Kiss my swim trophy!"

    @Spirit Fingers: I don't think we've had any shows about small-town bureaucrats in a while. Government offices are just waiting to be mined for comedy gold. I have seen that comedy gold in action; I have also seen that comedy gold inaction.

    "The show's mostly-negative reviews focus on that same listlessness and lack of sharp edges, which we've always worried would be attendant with a comedy about... building a park in Indiana."


    Dude, Observe and Report is about a mall security guard and a makeup counter girl, and people are not worried about it lacking an edge. If this show isn't sharp, the premise is not to blame.

    @Dave J.: @BBooms: Right, but movies only have to last an hour or two. This is a TV series that will, potentially, produce hours and hours of content. And, whereas The Office's concept works because it's so relatable, a public works official building a park is not, I don't think, as universal a topic.


    But yes, agreed on Guffman.

    Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope?


    Leslie yep. Prediction: after its successful, truncated first season, it comes back late fall '09 with a 20-episode order, and runs for a total of six seasons. You heard it here first.

    I loved her in Bay Mama, but am glad I saw it free on HBO, because apart from her, the movie was an abortion.

    amy poehler is an uptight, unfunny and watered-down version of amy sedaris. think for a moment about how stupid BABY MAMAS was. now imagine how great it would have been if sedaris had been cast in the poehler role. see?

    Digital TV uses airwaves too.


    In fact, over the air is the only way to get pure, full-res, unmolested HD.

    @DahlELama: I think this has been 30 Rock's worst season. I am sick of the revolving door of guest stars (except Steve Martin). It seems like such an obvious ploy to attract viewers and it just takes away screen time from hilarious cast members. That said, it's still the funniest sit-com on network TV right now. I'm just worried it's getting too dumbed down and formulaic. Jack hooks up with hot ladies, Tracy and Jena team up to cause trouble and Liz sucks at life.

    @Macloserboy: Yeah, but somehow that was different. Like Henry Winkler vs. Charlize Theron on Arrested Development. The former being a great casting choice for an already well developed storyline and the latter being an attempt to keep the show alive by adding a popular film actress. Isabella Rossellini and Paul Rubens vs. Jennifer Aniston and Oprah.

    It's like the prequel to a Seinfeld spin-off of Jerry's parents in Florida. Kath's grandfather is Mr. Seinfeld's 'friend' with the NASA pen.
