My Name is Earl - The Office - Page 5

There won't be a new episode until April 27th. But then there will be three in a row, ending with a May 11th finale which was written by Steve Carell.

So they could try to get an audience for a formulaic new show featuring prominently an annoying character whose sole activity is to spout one-liners for a half an hour?

Meh. I think that Teachers show has been done before.

GrantDawg · 04-07-2006, 11:14 PM

Teachers could be funny if the main actor could act. He is awful.

larrymcg421 · 04-07-2006, 11:44 PM

Oddly, Teachers is another BBC remake (just like The Office), except I have no clue why they did that. Teachers has absolutely nothing in common with the BBC version, which was a half hour dramedy that was pretty entertaining. The whole style of the show, the characters, the stories, are all completely different. The only thing that's the same is the profession.

I watched the pilot and it was pretty awful. The lead was pretty bad, and so was the British lead (althought she was apparently good in the BBC Coupling). The other characters were extrmely bland sitcom stereotypes. The only cast member I liked was Sarah Shahi, who was pretty hot and actually had some good comic timing.

Raiders Army · 04-08-2006, 05:33 AM

Even the laugh track on Teachers sucked.

Raiders Army · 04-28-2006, 05:22 AM

Earl wasn't too bad last night. I liked the "It's like one of those Australian wooden frisbees that comes back to you." line.

The Office was surprisingly not too funny last night. A big disappointment from previous episodes.

That is SOO mine!

ISiddiqui · 04-28-2006, 08:40 AM

Oh, and btw, loved last night's episode

. Dwight as volunteer sheriff's deputy was great

.

"What is this"
"Marijuana"
"How did you know what it was"
"It's labeled"

And I loved how Dwight was telling Ryan about getting a warrent and Ryan said, yeah, let's do that then.

Micheal at an Alicia Keys concert is a hilarious thought when you think about it.

Crapshoot · 04-28-2006, 08:53 AM

I liked the whole bit at the end, where Jim asks why Dwight would do something like that for Michael - on a day where he spent the whole day silent.

Especially with the "what is he getting out of this relationship?" bit. It was Great UIC, that was of course intentional. I don't think I've laughed out loud more at any sit-com than the office. Regular belly laughs that I can't stop. The show is just a blast to watch.

As for the Earl bit. I'm still an Earl fan as well. The brother is great.

Joe · 04-28-2006, 05:38 PM

this was a good episode, I liked it

"I'm going to need a magazine"
"ALL we need is urine."
"I'm still going to need a magazine."

Creed idetifying the strain of MJ and Dwight saying no it's marijuana was the line of the night.

Dwight got out the pink plastic sticks they use on "CSI" to gauge the direction of bullets to track the path of the joint as it was discarded.

And then Dwight: "Mine was green" LOL

ISiddiqui · 04-28-2006, 06:07 PM

I thought the line of the night was when Jim accused Dwight of smoking the joint, but because of short term memory loss couldn't remember doing it

.

I'm not sure what show you were watching. Jim looks directly at the camera less than a minute into the show. Dwight also did it after Oscar stormed out. There were many other moments as well.

I don't understand the complaints about this aspect of the show. The premise is that it is an actual documentary being made about the employees of Dunder-Miffflin. What we are watching is that documentary, so the glances are important because the characters recognize that the cameras are there. There was even one episode where the cameraman helped Pam out in her investigation of Dwight and Angela's relationship.

This concept is taken directly from the BBC version, which worked the same way. The series finale was fashioned as a followup to the previous documentary, which had now aired in the UK and all the characters commented on how it changed them.

Raiders Army · 05-05-2006, 07:16 AM

Best line from Earl: "If you cut me in half, I wouldn't fight with myself; I'd probably work together with my legs to get to the hospital."

The Office was hilarious. "My middle name is Kurt, not Fart." Jim's explanations of how he pranked Dwight were the best. The nickels in the phone trick is something I need to try.

ISiddiqui · 05-05-2006, 08:22 AM

I liked how he moved Dwight's desk 1 inch every time Dwight went to the bathroom, making it like 2 feet from the copier at end of the day.

The nickle trick was hilarious though.

sachmo71 · 05-05-2006, 08:44 AM

The Office last night had me rolling.

"This badge is huge! I'm not a security threat! And my middle name is Kent, not fart!"

Seriously - that whole little scene was absolutely brilliant. As well as Dwights laments about his potato gun - "Can you imagine what would happen if I was deranged ?"

ISiddiqui · 05-05-2006, 09:55 AM

I also liked that Michael thought there was no complaints against him, and then Toby shows the file folder where he keeps those.

"Win, win... win"

I swear, it hits a little too close at some times. Dear god, I remember "conflict resolution" classes with something just like that.

The cleverest bit was Crabman's great line "I thought Jesus was getting even with me for putting the Darwin fish on my car," followed by the quick cut to the earthworms.

Brilliant Darwin connection.

Thanks. He said that so fast and my kids were talking I didn't get all of that. All I got was "fish-something".

Raiders Army · 05-05-2006, 03:07 PM

Another good one from the Office last night:

"Someone complained that the bathroom is whites only."
"Then why is there a picture of a white man on the door?"

larrymcg421 · 05-05-2006, 04:10 PM

Last night's episode of The Office is exactly why I watch shows with continuing storylines. Shows with a self-contained structure can get old after a while because they're not progressing anywhere. The Office showed how you can build a season (and a half) worth of storylines and then have them collide in a hilarious and painful way.

And next week, we get a supersized episode written by none other than Steve Carell.

Glengoyne · 05-05-2006, 04:19 PM

Boy that bit with Jim's pranks on Dwight was a classic. I'm still grinning about the nickle trick.

But I think they may approach it another way in the American version... they have with most everything else since the first season.

Daimyo · 05-11-2006, 11:08 PM

Ricky Gervais has said that he didn't like the way the UK version handled Tim/Dawn and he liked that the US version was moving a little faster with it.

Raiders Army · 05-12-2006, 05:08 AM

There was a lot of funny stuff in The Office last night, but I can't help but feel as if last week's episode was a lot better. The finale moved the ongoing plot along, but just wasn't as funny.
