Is 30 Rock the next Arrested Development? It's my favorite comedy on TV right now, it's winning all the awards, but no one is watching. It comes back Oct. 15.

I guess I'll have to give Community a second go-round online. I didn't like the pilot and opted to watch old Office episodes instead.

Survivor may have its most racist competitor yet this season, for anyone who watches.

2nd episode was much better imo. Chevy Chase and the ending kind of carried it for me.

The "Billionaire Oil Man"? I only watched the first episode, but he didn't seem racist. Possibly sexist. But if anything, an absolute, arrogant, a**hole.
But it will make for entertaining TV.

At what point next episode does Michael realize that this is going to turn into basically a demotion for him?

And honestly, while Dwight may deserve what he gets and Jim has started to take his job seriously, can he really deny any of what was in the report Michael brought to David's attention? It felt like Jim was bullying Michael tonight, and it was totally out of character.
We don't actually know what Michael was talking about with the reports. And he also later said they were fabricated, so I'm curious to find out what he actually said to David Wallace.

i was under the impression that the reports are not entirely accurate as they were written by toby, who for some time has not liked jim because of his relationship with pam (because toby has liked pam for some time)...yes, jim goofs off but he still gets his work done and i think that may have been left out by toby...and it seems like michaels reason to be against the promotion for jim is because he's selfish and doesn't want to lose jim/pam and his work "family"

I enjoyed the pilot episode, although I cringed both times I heard the Gobian "Come On!"

Anyone watch the new HBO show Bored To Death with Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis? I liked the pilot.
