As many of you know I am a huge fan of The Office. In fact I believe it to be the best show on TV right now. It hit sort of a low at the begining of this season but has picked up tremendously with Jim back at The Office and the whole Jim and Pam relationship escalating. My buddy David Lithman had posted this video earlier today right before announcing his engagement (congratulations buddy). However I could not resist posting the video, it truly is one of a kind.
I have not always been the biggest TV fan, in fact before a year or two ago the only shows I would watch would be Seinfeld and Friends and maybe the occasional Everybody Loves Raymond. For whatever reason I really never had those set TV shows I liked to watch every night. Well last year Jenn and I decided to start getting some TV shows that we wanted to watch and thus have a good list of shows we like to watch. So here are some of the TV shows I am currently watching.
#1) The Office: There is not a television show on TV that is as funny as The Office. My good friend Chris told me about The Office and it being funny midway through the second season and so I decided to check it out. I watched the episode, The Dundies, and I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. I had Jenn watch the episode after I watched it and we both loved it. Since then we have been the biggest Office fans around. Let’s just say there isn’t a Thursday without The Office.
#2) Heroes: Now this was a TV show I was skeptical on before it began this year. It was either going to be great or just unbelievably corny. I absolutely hated the first episode of Heroes, but after that I gave the show time and now I am hooked. “Save the Cheerleader, Save the World”, I remember just getting so into that chapter of the show and now the current chapter is just amazing. Heroes is the opposite of corny, its good intense television that I am just soaking up.
#3) Jericho: When I saw the previews for this show I knew it had a good chance of being entertaining and that is exactly what Jericho is an entertaining show that has you guessing at every turn. The thing I like about this show is that it really makes you appreciate how great life is in this country and how quickly it could be gone if we are not careful. Jericho is a smart show that gets better and better every week.
#4) Grey’s Anatomy: I was a huge fan last year when they had the whole Denny script going on which I thought was just a brilliant move for the show. This season has not been my favorite and a lot of the show is starting to feel a bit repetitive but it all in all it is still a big part of Jenn and My Thursday night right after The Office. Hopefully the show gets back to the basics and starts to become a more entertaining show to watch.
#5) Amazing Race All-Stars: I was never a big fan of reality shows, in fact during much of the craze I didn’t really take part in Survivor and any of the other reality show. However Jenn opened my world to Amazing Race and with the Hippies a few seasons ago I have been extremely hooked to the show. This latest All-Star season seems good but it is to early to tell we will have to see if the rivalries really start to heat up.
Shows I Watch on Occasion: Beauty and the Geek (Seasons Over otherwise it would be on the list), Gilmore Girls, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Ebert and Roeper, Wheel of Fortune, Colbert Report, Jeapordy, and of course both Friends and Seinfeld re-runs.
The Office Season 3 started a bit slow but Season 3 has really gotten quite good. I am a big fan of th TV show and here is one of my all time favorite pranks Jim put on Dwight. The duo had a great one last night and last week and I will put those up when I find them! Anyways enjoy this simple piece of humor! A laugh a day is what really keeps the doctor away!
So a lot of the big Fall TV Premier’s have already hit the tube, and the rest are coming next week so I figured I better give everyone a rundown on my grades for my favorite series first shows of this new season, and here they are:
Amazing Race: B
Good Teams, Interesting Locations, No Hippies.
Deal or No Deal: A-
A ton of money up for grabs, plus Howie getting even better at hosting.
Jericho: B+
Interesting new show definitely has promise.
The Office: C-
What is going on? Jim is gone to a new branch? Pam is no longer engaged? Joel not happy! Let’s hope for a turn for the better.
Grey’s Anatomy: B
The show ended with some amazing cliffhangers none of which seemed to be overly addressed. Still a good first episode back.
Still Waiting for: Gilmore Girls & Heroes.
As you can see I am still a bit bored in Race and Racism and so I thought I would post the trailer for The Office Season 3 which begins tonight at 8:30pm Pacific on NBC. I know Jenn and I will be watching, will you?
