All right, after skimming the thread I guess I better catch up on the few episodes I missed now that I know half the jokes that will be on them.

OMG, ultimate buried reference at the end of the second episode, after the yacht thing, with Jack talking to Liz in the elevator: "Everyone loved your little LEMON PARTY."

(If you don't recognize that as a potential reference, I wouldn't, like, Google Image Search it until you get home from work.)

Kenneth the Page played a bumpkin in a skit on Conan last night!

― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 22 March 2007 18:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Why oh why did I GIS that reference at all? Awful.

i like when tracy grabs the phone from dude and goes "CLICK... AWHHH..." and then hangs up the phone.

Woah. Well spotted, nabisco.

"You'll have to get through Tip O'Neill and Bobby Sands first!"

And now, because it cheers me up, stills!

What is NBC doing? Here's a new show that has buzz and momentum (not sure what the ratings look like though). It looks like it might get some traction. People are saying, "hey friend, check out this show on Thursday. It's funny." Friend can't find it. Why? Because the network braintrust made the brilliant decision to yank the show from the schedule for a month or whatever.

I really wonder if these people have any clue what they are doing.

It's called a mid-season replacement, shit happens all the time, give 'em a break. I mean, practically no show is on every single week these days, except for the big hits where they can make a profit even off reruns. NBC actually decided to make 30 Rock's hiatus 2 weeks shorter than they'd originally planned, so it'll be back next week (I feel back for Andy Barker P.I. getting the shaft, but at least all the episodes are online already), and supposedly Kevin Reilly has thrown a lot of support behind the show so think odds are good that it'll be back next season.

Elaine Stritch is supposed to play Jack Donaghy's mother in an upcoming episode! Could be awesome.

Maybe I'll check out the Office marathon on Thursday and see what the fuss is about.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Sunday, 25 March 2007 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope they pick some good episodes for the Office marathon and not ones that focus too heavily on the Jim/Pam arc. You'd get the wrong impression.

Toby's hosting it, though!

I hope they pick some good episodes for the Office marathon and not ones that focus too heavily on the Jim/Pam arc. You'd get the wrong impression.

They're doing a 5-ep mix of eps from all three seasons, all of which Toby figures into one way or another.

IIRC, they will be:

"Diversity Day" &"Health Care" (season 1)
"Sexual Harassment" & "The Injury" (season 2)
"Gay Witch Hunt" (season 3)

― C. Grisso/McCain, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:28 (seventeen years ago) link

"The Injury" is prob the best Office ever.

― Sparkle Motion, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Mindy Kaling wrote it!

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah well I wrote Mindy Kaling.

― nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

waht

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

i may have to renounce mindy kaling soon

we're reaching a level of corny motherfucker consensus unseen since the great hollertronix southern rap dickriding of 2004

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:10 (seventeen years ago) link

oh ok that's a dumb reason

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:11 (seventeen years ago) link

just sayin it might be worth backing away til the heat is off - she can still call me

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:14 (seventeen years ago) link

also,

"Crossing Over with John Edward" (1999) TV Series (production assistant)

is a turn-off

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

i read an interview where she said that she believed that john edward could speak with the dead.

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude, I can't think of anything that could fine-tune your sense of humor faster than working as a PA on "Crossing Over with John Edward."

― nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Never before has a sentiment been so shat on by its xpost. :(

― nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

wow thats even worse than my theory that was cynically exploiting her work on the show like you would a ponzi scheme or something

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

JK: That show, you PA'ed on, according to your IMDb profile, was...

MK: Crossing Over with John Edward!

JK: Right. I don't know if you saw the profile I did of you a while ago...

MK: I did see it. Someone copied the text and sent it to me... It was so nice... I don't think there ever has been a profile done of me... thank you so much!

JK: You're welcome. What I did say in that profile, though, is that the fact that you worked on that program showed right there that you had a good sense of humor.

MK: (laughs) It did. I look back and -- when I was working there, I really believed that his powers were real. I don't remember ever coming to work and thinking that I worked for, like, a charlatan. But since then, I feel like, how would that be possible, and also, why would that show have been cancelled if it was a real thing? I mean I've questioned it since then. But that was a fun experience.

whatevs. everyone needs a lame first job.

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

He can speak TO the dead, at least.

― nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:23 (seventeen years ago) link

can we decide if this is more or less excusable than tina fey being a republican

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

why would that show have been cancelled if it was a real thing?

Hahaha how could this not be the world's best joke???

― nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

dudes, I've been obsessing about Tina Fey being a Republican ever since freaking ILX tried to ruin her for me, and I've decided that it simply cannot be, Kennedy resemblance notwithstanding.

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

id rather date a funny republican than a funny chick who believed in ghosts

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

actually upon reflection i take that back

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm imagining that Fey and Kaling both delivered their "I'm a Republican!" "I believe in ghosts!" responses with a heavy dose of irony and we're all just missing that in print.

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

but i guess tina fey is friends with tracy morgan and id rather go out on the weekends with tracy than with the dude who plays jim

then they fought over who gets get to marry me but the interviewers ran out of time & didnt transcribe that part

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

altho i wouldnt mind hanging out with toby and creed

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

(seriously, I was watching an old episode of SNL the other night and scrutinizing Weekend Update for signs of republicanosity. and I decided that Tina Fey is too feminist to stomach the Republican party. right?)

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

So the wink after her hybrid-cars speech = for Newt and not for me?

― nabisco, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

and then tina fey gave me a million dollars and mindy kaling got bizzy bone to rejoin bone thugs and make a good album

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

if mindy actually knew bizzy bone --> mindy by a mile

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:36 (seventeen years ago) link

the john edward thing is ok as long as she only believes in the ghost of eazy e from tha crossroads video

― and what, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:37 (seventeen years ago) link

id rather go out on the weekends with tracy than with the dude who plays jim

only in theory -- in practice I imagine hanging out with tracy would be exhausting.

― kenan, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

waht she is not a republican. come on.

― s1ocki, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, right? nothing she's ever done/written makes any sense if she's a Republican! I'm thinking interviewers have tin ears.

― horseshoe, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost because who doesn't believe in the ghost of eazy e

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:40 (seventeen years ago) link

i think ive moved on to rashida jones anyway

― max, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I just rewatched the wink to ascertain its valence and have decided that I don't care who it was directed at; Tina Fey can do whatever she wants.
