Yeh, I don't really hate the show, but I do hate that guy. The show is just kind of boring.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of loathe "Scrubs", plus there is always "Grey's Anatomy"! Which is awes except for the moralizing voice-overs at ends of eps but one can foward past/mute those.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out who "OJ" was.

Everyone I've met who likes Scrubs is weirdly proud that they like it. They're always saying, "You know what's a good show? Scrubs. I know, you might not realize it, but that shit's funny." Of course, I haven't heard anyone say this since 2003, so I don't know if there'd be any post-Garden State backpedaling these days.

Funny parts of Scrubs = pretty good.
Mawkish parts of Scrubs = unbearable.

i refuse to watch grey's anatomy. i tried but i just can't do it. before nbc juggled their line up i'd read or go to the bar early.

is there a tt going on this week?

O.J., original jewster.

Scurbs reminds me of Office Space. I saw both of them for the first time in the company of a superfan. They both have the nice guy in the lead who's having little crises of masculinity and conformity.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of think Grey's Anatomy is a bad show. But there's a whole genre of prime-time soap opera that I totally avoid, so maybe it's not meant for me, anyway.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm trying to think if there are any other "critically acclaimed" TV shows that I want to start watching on DVD after Arrested Development and Undeclared. I hope not, because I kind of want to get back to movies, but on the other hand, it's pretty awesome to watch an episode or two of something before bed, without the commitment of a two-hour movie.

xpost Yeah, I don't have any interest in Grey's Anatomy or House or anything like that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Do I really have to say that I love House? The show, the character, take your pick.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Is that the one Sandra Oh is on? I've never seen GA but she is great. I mostly think so because of Last Night.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

"Why would I want to watch 'The Sopranos'? It's all 'I'm gonna kill that guy.' 'No, f-k you, I'm gonna kill that guy'."
-Jaymc, November 2006.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I like House a lot, too. But I get the feeling from Grey's Anatomy that it's kind of all about "oh look hott boyz/oh no boy problems". House has a drug addiction. That's the kind of problem I can get behind.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't actually know anything about House except that it stars an asshole doctor named House. But I don't have any interest in it. Also not interested in The Sopranos, The Wire, The Shield, Entourage (first ep was really bad, like Swingers the TV show), Weeds, Big Love, Nip/Tuck. Maybe interested in The OC and Six Feet Under.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Grey's Anatomy was good for the first season, but after that I got tired of those people. I've seen House twice and it was nearly unbearable, the show, the guy, take your pick. No, actually, don't take your pick, I will: the guy.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got the first discs of Freaks & Geeks and the Wire on my queue, but I'm almost loathe to get sucked in because I also have been enjoying movies, and the Wire especially seems like a big committment.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:34 (seventeen years ago) link

The Wire is pretty damn great. No, really.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Also interested in 30 Rock. Not interested in Desperate Housewives.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Laurel said the exact same thing the other day.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

: D The Sopranos, on the other hand, I have no interest in.

I dunno, I don't find anyone on GA hott except Katherine Heigl, and I'm happy to admit that probably 2/3 of the characters are "types" (cf "the Nazi", the beautiful smart girl, etc), but they're well played and I like their interactions with each other.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I found the second season of Entourage used at Reckless and watched in all in two or three days. I had that same Swingers impression of the one season-one episode I'd seen, but I think it's improving.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

John, the OC? Really?

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

30 Rock is a treat. it is difficult to say whether I love Fey, Baldwin, or Morgan most.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Not interested in Carnivale, Rome, Ugly Betty, Deadwood, or anything Law and Order- or CSI-related. Interested in The Office.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I should own some Curb on DVD. That might be my all-time favorite show. (Bold words.)

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

The OC is intolerable for me, although I have much-admired friends who rave about it. I don't think I give a shit about beautiful teenagers. Ugly Betty, though, hmm. I'd at least try one or two eps if someone said I should bother.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

John, the OC? Really?

Yeah, why not? I guess I'm hoping it's like Dawson's Creek.

xpost: beautiful teenagers: I could've just said this.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

what the fuck is in maggie valley, north carolina and why does my phone have two missed phone calls from there?

crunkle? jenny? jeff? what's out there?

― otto midnight has a pudding problem (otto midnight), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Interested in Mr. Show. Not interested in Oz or Queer as Folk.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

seriously, I can't imagine anyone disliking The Office. it's brilliant.

I love Ugly Betty, but watch it only semi-frequently. it's on at the same time as The Office, which is kind of a bummer.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Interesting in Talking; Not interested in Action.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I have only seen the OC once, at a friend's house. His younger sister was having a marathon. I've also never seen Dawson's Creek, but it was a lot like what I always imagined DC to be like.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Maggie Valley is a place in the Blue Ridge mountains that is a big tourist draw. I've never been, but I think it's just a really quaint, quiet, cute town with lots of jam and apple butter.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:44 (seventeen years ago) link

I've seen House twice and it was nearly unbearable, the show, the guy, take your pick. No, actually, don't take your pick, I will: the guy.

Jeez. What is it you have against arrogant assholes? :)

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Speaking of Dawson's Creek and Undeclared: man, Monica Keena is so hot.

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

It's an apple butter marketer calling you.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

My grandparents used to take trips to Maggie Valley. They would go to the Stomping Ground, a dance place, predominately clogging/bluegrass related.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i checked a map and it's close enough where it could conceivably be some people i know in asheville but if it was them they would've left me a message.

My relatively good day was just totally ruined. The news a couple of months ago was that the CIO was leaving, and his stranglehold on the IT department and all things web would finally end and I'd have more responsibility. He hired a replacement for himself, and I had meetings with the replacement, and really liked the guy. It looked like something would actually happen that would be really good for me.

Well, I just got an email from the President saying that he's "happy to announce" that the new head of IT would be his sister (!) and that the CIO isn't leaving after all. I'm crushed. Things won't just be the same, they'll be more the same than ever before. I'm seriously depressed about this. I don't want to have to look for another job. But this little development means no new position, no raises, nothing but more and more being squeezed out. This fucking sucks.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

WHO TH' FUCK DECIDES TO RETIRE, HIRES A REPLACEMENT, AND THEN CHANGES HIS MIND JUST BECAUSE HE'S A CONTROL FREAK?

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

CRAZY ASSHOLES,THAT'S WHO.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I'M SO DEPRESSED I'M LISTENING TO PET SOUNDS. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I WANT TO GO HOME.

― there to preserve disorder (kenan), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 21:58 (seventeen years ago) link

YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK. Oh, you didn't mean that home.

― Laurel (Laurel), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

That sucks, dude.

― JordanC (JordanC), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I really like Six Feet Under.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I have some interest in TT. I would like to take a yoga class at 4 pm but could probably be convinced to rearrange that.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

If the CIO should ever leave you,
Your life would still go on, believe you.

― Eazy (Eazy), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not drinking for a while. I could still go out I guess, but I shouldn't be out in public lest I spend money.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Dammit, I want to go to yoga at 4 AND go to TT but that's just not practical.

― Handgun O. Mendocino (pullapartgirl), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link
