Thursday Comedy Hs/Ss 11/16/06 ...

My Name is Earl – This week Earl was supersized, Christian Slater guest starred and claymation ruled Randy’s mind. I have to admit I wasn’t paying as close attention to this episode as I usually do. I was making a bunch of last minute changes to the Marketing Day presentations and was stressed out. So I tried to keep my mind on Earl and make the little formatting changes on the HTML documents but my mind would wander. However I did like seeing Christina Slater on TV, his character was pretty funny. The naked old lady and Earl saying “Don’t freak out” over and over was a riot. All the claymation people. Crab Man in general but his saying, “Don’t bother to explain the irony, she doesn’t get it.” was priceless. Randy’s hallucinations, Earl going nuts over the environment. The dung house. So much was funny but I really liked the end part when Earl and Randy were in bed talking about who could beat up who, Sesame Street vs. Muppets, Muppets vs. Fraggles, it was pretty funny. What I really liked was they cut to Crab Man and Joy doing about the same thing with family members.

My Name is Earl – This was a good episode. I loved the scene at the end where Randy & Earl were in bed, then they cut to Crab Man & Joy in bed talking. Too funny.

The Office – I was in a better place during the Office. This has to be one of the shows that I truly look forward to each week. It is crazy how much I disliked the show and now how it has grown on me. Jim returns to Scranton and in typical Jim fashion he never says that he is now Michael’s right hand man. The look on Michael’s face when he found out was priceless. I think the interactions between Dwight and Andy will be pretty fun to watch. The music video Lazy Scranton is online if you want to see the whole thing. Some of the best pieces were the Andy and Dwight showdown at the end of the show. The tension between Pam and Jim was heartbreaking but also made for good drama and comedy. The merger of the two groups. Tony, poor Tony, I liked him. The new black character trying to bond with Stanley. Stanley rolling his eyes. It was pretty funny. Watch the full video. So funny. Also click for the deleted scene between Kevin and Andy. Karma comes back to Andy.

The Office – I was so happy to have Jim back in Scranton. I’m a little bummed about him “seeing someone” – I felt really badly for Pam. She obviously adores Jim and couldn’t wait for him to come back – then he’s seeing someone and not really hanging out with her like usuall. It was heartbreaking, but makes good television. I am really looking forward to seeing Dwight and Andy in the future. They are too funny!!

30 Rock – Never saw the show before, however I liked the whole shilling Snapple segment. Very funny. Other than that no big whoop. I went and washed dishes.

30 Rock – This wasn’t bad. I only half paid attention to it. I suppose we’ll have to watch it since it will be on after Scrubs and the other networks are playing one hour dramas at that time (and we’ll have to tape CSI now….).

The best news however is that Scrubs returns next Thursday. Think NBC is finally pulling together a Must See Thursday line-up again.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
