I think it's been great so far, although I would agree that an hour is too much of a good thing.<br><br>The relationship stuff should run its course in the next few weeks. But I love the whole Ryan as boss and Micheal as sub-ordinate thing. I also really liked the whole 'old school' philosophy of customer retention/anti-technology part, that was classic Office.<br><br>And Creed rocks....'gotta ride the bull...later sk8ter'!ScottFri, 05 Oct 2007 15:46:32 -0000Re: 30 Rock, The Office and&#8230;.Direct TVhttp://www.popcritics.com/2007/10/30-rock-the-office-anddirect-tv/#comment-1196732You are right Adam, the lake scene was good that way, hitting the lake and getting out in the water was one shot and pretty cool at that.<br><br>Cap'n, I had Smallville problems too, the OTA kept skipping...like a record player jumping ahead. Was weird.MikeFri, 05 Oct 2007 14:09:19 -0000Re: 30 Rock, The Office and&#8230;.Direct TVhttp://www.popcritics.com/2007/10/30-rock-the-office-anddirect-tv/#comment-1196734You werent *totally* off base on The Office.<br><br>The beauty of the lake scene was that it was a single long shot and (I suppose) a single take of putting the car in the lake. Plus the actors did it themselves, which I found hilarious.<br><br>I feel like even though the episode runtime has nearly doubled, the number of jokes and gags havent.<br><br>I am excited for them to go back to 22 min.Adam RainboltFri, 05 Oct 2007 13:15:23 -0000Re: 30 Rock, The Office and&#8230;.Direct TVhttp://www.popcritics.com/2007/10/30-rock-the-office-anddirect-tv/#comment-1196735Something screwy overall was going on. Since I primarily watch Smallville, the over the air HD feed was off and on (and I never have issues with it). Not sure what was happening, weather it was lingering storm or what, but i had issue not only with NBC last night, as I had to watch Smallville in regular ole non HD viewing...Cap'n SchwartzFri, 05 Oct 2007 13:05:34 -0000
