Mister Hepburn Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 It was better when Steve Carell was on. Now I think it's time to wrap it up. Still get a few chuckles out of it once in awhile though. Apparently Dwight won't be on come next season as he's getting a spin-off, so it's really about to kick the bucket.

Should have kicked it years ago. Now you tens of thousands of viewers will have to find something else to slightly amuse you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't like it, but the first three seasons of that show were genius. Four and five were spotty but mostly hilarious, six being the first let down (in my opinion) and seven just being parody of what the show was in it's glory. I haven't seen anything from this season and I don't plan on buying it when it's releases in the fall---I'm content with what I have, maybe I'll splurge on a complete series set when the time comes.

I never got completely into The Office, but it does do fairly well in the ratings (very well by NBC standards). The Dwight spin-off is supposed to happen the season after next, if it happens at all.

Hey, you have to know i am kidding when i say things like that, i just cannot get over how few people watch A N Y show nowadays. I'll never forget the time i bought Variety for the first time in years and i thought they made an error as they listed all these 2.3 and 1.7 when i was used to 17.4 and 21.3 in the old days. I tried watching The Office a couple of times but as is the case with most shows on TV these days, just could not get into it, and the fact that i have NEVER liked Steve Carrel does not help. Liked his comedy bits on many award shows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted March 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I went to a Frankie Avalon concert last night and he sang a new-ish song called "Good Guys" (it has been part of his act at least since 2007, from what I can see) which has the lyrics "Desi loved Lucy" among other pop culture references to the 50s.

Neil Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Amanda Seyfried was on Conan tonight and was talking about how she doesn't think Botox is a good idea. She said she thinks women should tape up their faces instead and says that what Lucille Ball used to do. She did, however, say Lucy slept with it on, which is not true. I wonder if Gary slept with his toupee on. Has anyone ever seen a shot of him without it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 Also more Lucy mentions in two books i saw downtown today, one on Judy Garland where there's a pic of Lucy at the taping of Judy's first CBS show and another book on Ed Sullivan also has several Lucy mentions, including their Flip Wilson show appearance together. Had no idea Ed's wife died of a ruptured aorta, just like Lucy and John Ritter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or all of this could have been avoided if you had been reasonable about letting me discuss a book that you are pissed about because it reveals these royals to be as scummy as the rest of the world in their sexual habits. It was nice knowing you, for the most part. Adios amigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a picture of Gary in bed with his toupee on in the Susie Morton auction. Although perhaps he dressed his head up because he knew he was going to have his picture taken.
