Recaps: The Office, 30 Rock

Started by Mike Olbinski · 10 months ago

Yet again I ran out of time to watch Scrubs, because I had to get the hour-long Smallville in, and then you really can't watch three half-hour shows in time for Lost at 9pm...and when it's on that late, I don't mind watching it live.

But I did of course get to watch a stellar ... Continue reading »

    The office had this 'crawfordness' to it....

    What a great episode of the office! Loved Meredith getting tagged in the head with the football! Scary to think Dwight has some game! Loved that he poured out the drink.

    Liz got "business sick" all over her new suit!

    Will Arnett talking about Project Runway winner Christian, when Rami was clearly the better draper!

    Instant classics!

    And she was still wearing the suit!

    Dwight massaging Michael's head with peanut butter was funny.

    Ryan's beard is ugly? Do you own a mirror? ;-)

    The Office was great as usual, although the humor was a little more subtle this week.

    'Don't use the good peanut butter!'

    I liked the Office, but I think this might have been the wrong episode of 30 Rock for it to be my first ever. I thought Tina Fey was great, but Tracy Morgan is just an awful, awful actor. I just couldn't get past that. I've never seen a guy with that many great lines just be a disaster when actually saying them.

    Well, Morgan wasn't a bad actor, he was acting that way on purpose. He's supposed to be an idiot. All his lines are hard for him to say because he's stupid.

    He cracks me UP big time...

    I totally get what Michael is saying because I used to hate Tracy Morgan's acting too. Once you get into his character, though, you'll buy in to it totally and instead of being annoying it's actually really funny.

    I don't know how the office gets better and better every week but it does! Why would anyone want to know what it's like to sleep with Meredith?! Classic.

    If I think back to the first couple of episodes I watched of 30 Rock, I thought it was funny, but the characters (except Liz Lemmon) were so over the top! But their crazy personalities do grow on you.

    I loved the line that Tracy had been up for six hours straight!

    As for the Office, every week is solid. I try to make sure I don't go in to each episode expecting too much, because I think I've started to set the bar too high to attain for them at times.

    I agree with Jina on the expectations of the office. However, their consistency week in and week out make it difficult not to have high expectations.

    As for Tracy Morgan, I am still 50/50 on his character. Their are times where I find his character annoying. None the less, the rest of the show is awesome!

    Don't get me wrong, I think he's written great--Tina Fey is a terrific writer and Tracy Morgan has some great lines. I just can't get past his delivery--I'm not sure if he's supposed to be acting like he can't act or what, but everything I've seen him do is the same. I just think he isn't a skilled actor, but I can understand how he can grow on people.

    I was having a problem with the way Tracy delivered his lines until I saw him in an interview. That's the way he normally talks! I guess too many Long Island Ice Teas make you sound like that.

    Well, maybe you guys are right, and he can't act, but I've also not seen him in much else, and coupled with the writing, he's damn funny on here.
