The second best thing about Fall? All new Office episodes.A quick off-topic post. The Office returns to the Thursday Night NBC lineup tonight, with a one-hour season premiere. I'm really excited. I've got all of Season 2 TiVo'd or transfered over to DVD by now, but I've been jonesing for some new material. Lucky for us, starting at 9:00 pm tonight, the Dunder Mifflin gang is back. Hopefully we get some closure on the Jim/Pam/Karen triangle...hopefully Kelly talks Ryan into keeping up with the long-distance romance...hopefully we get to see some more of Todd Packer (Champ Kind from Anchorman). Good stuff.
Secondary off-topic point: What demographic is the show 'Chuck' aimed at? I mean, is there any age bracket that would appeal to? Kids, no. Women, definitely no. Older guys, possibly, just to leer at the chick. Guys our age, I can't speak for the rest of you, but I'm a 100% no. So who greenlights this thing? We get it: the guy works at Nerd Herd (not Geek Squad...), and he unwillingly fights crime with a hottie secret agent! The commercial tells you everything you need to know. There's no surprises, so unless the jokes are hilarious, what's the point here? I would stop talking about it, but every time I watch Sunday Night Football, they beat me over the head with this nonsense, and I know it will be cancelled in four weeks.
Runner-Up to be cancelled immediately: 'The Big Bang Theory' on CBS. Two nerds try to bang a hottie. Hilarity supposedly ensues. Or not.
Honorable Mention to be cancelled immediately: 'K-Ville' on FOX. Black cop and white cop (gee, that's groundbreaking) fight crime in post-Katrina Nawlins. Expect racial tension and Cajun drug lords. I liked this idea better when it starred Clancy and Ralph Wiggum (Look, Big Daddy, it's regular Daddy!).
