Bad Purchase posted:i need to find a way to get in touch with my inner wine mom, then. i've tried to watch the show a couple times due to its cultural relevance, but have never even made it through season 1 before losing interest. tbf season 1 was poo poo because they were trying to make Michael an equivalent to the Ricky Gervais character, and even the cast will acknowledge it's kind of meh and didn't at all work Season 2 is where it finally picks up

It is so bizarre to me they put Erin in the show before they really had a character for her. She is a total blank slate in the episode where Dwight and Andy are doing that dueling banjos type scene to impress her. Think it continued like that for a few episodes too.

When Robert California told Erin that he was a ride she "wouldn't survive" he was actually talking to himself.

Those seasons are memory-holed. The latest episode that ever gets referenced by anyone is like... Scott’s Tots. Anything after that is forgettable.

Parks and Rec got to the point where they'd have like one talking head per episode. and it was otherwise shot like a standard single cam sitcom. I've got to hand it to The Office for seeing through the camera crew premise, even going as far as to actually follow through with it and have the documentary released as part of the story. On the other hand, sometimes I wish they had dropped it, as it did become increasingly absurd for a film crew to be filming these situations, and how they would even accomplish some of the moments. I find myself having to mentally block that out sometimes when I watch the show. Another thing is often when they are cutting between so many camera angles, the other camera operators would be in the shots if it were real.

The part of The Office where the dude hits the warehouse guy with the mic boom is the worst thing in the show easily, and one of the worst moments from a decent tv show I can think of. Also that tiny little dude would have his head exploded by that giant warehouse worker after going "Ow" for a second.

I tried getting my girlfriend to watch the office with me, and she told me she was incredibly bored after 5 episodes of season 2. This is on one hand another confirmation that she has better taste than me, but it also means I won't be able to re-watch the office for a good while. She did however love scrubs, so that's a relief.

I'm rewatching Scrubs right now as I type this and its very good, the actual production of the episodes is just excellent. Like, The way the camera sweeps around for punchlines and reveals and stuff.

all of J.D.'s love interests in Scrubs look the same except for the black girl he dated for 2 episodes and that's honestly my biggest problem with the show
