I woke up with sickness paranoia. For the past few days, the moving has stirred up a lot of dust in the apartment and I’ve had relentless allergy attacks. But when I woke up this morning, I felt horrible so wondered if it was really allergy related or if I was coming down with something. So I decided to not fight it and slept it.
When I awoke later, it was 12:30 and I still didn’t feel much better. So it was a day of catching up on DVR TV.
It’s my opinion that The Office has totally lost its magic. The stories aren’t very funny or even believable. I hate to attribute it all to the marriage of Jim and Pam since I had faith that the writers could sustain their likability. But Pam doesn’t even seem to be much of a factor in the current shows, and Jim has been cast in a manager role that doesn’t really fit with the character we’ve watched over the years.
The show’s cousin, Parks and Recreation, has seemed to pick up the slack, as well as mimicked The Office‘s second season turnaround. The characters are starting to take shape and the writers are figuring out how to create involving stories.
I’ve been pulling for Community because I like several of the actors/characters but it’s still a pretty uneven shows. Some episodes are hysterical and then others are just meh.
30 Rock has been firing on all cylinders, delivering solid, joke-packed episodes that leave me in awe. It’s amazing that this show isn’t more of a blockbuster, but probably the fact that most of America can’t relate to its New-York-ness as well as my friends and I do.
It is astounding to find out how NBC is totally floundering, especially with these shows that I just mentioned. But that’s just 2 hours of one night. The Leno experiment has been deemed all but a total disaster, and it’s sad to hear that Conan will probably be a victim of collateral damage.
I was initially looking forward to a wild Friday night but with my “sickness” and an impending crazy weekend, it may be best to keep it on the down low.
