To be fair, the ending of that episode has some emotion reflecting Michael's relationship with Holly. Probably the saving grace of that episode.

The other part is how much of a piece of shit, evil corporation NBC is.

Was King of Queens on CBS? That probably was the only sitcom with a laugh track that I generally liked.

And How I Met Your Mother is (was?) genius.

How I Met Your Mother is decent. It has it's moments.

That's marginalizing the episode a bit. Yea, it started off as that but morphed into a look back at Michael's naivety in his relationships.

I liked Everybody Loves Raymond

[jwicklun]

Raymond was another meh show. While not terrible, there wasn't really anything outstanding to its writing and its acting.

It makes me really happy you like that show. You're a bit cynical and hard to please, so if you dig it, there is hope yet. Haha.

That show is like Seinfeld...consistently pretty funny, regardless of the episode.

disagree, I think all those shows suck and that all the characters on The Office lack depth and are just caricatures of what they used to be.

Well fuck.

I can't afford to buy 5, so I'm watching it ep by ep as Lifetime posts in on demand. So I'll prob be late to season 6, too. I don't think anything's as good as their first two seasons, but it's consistently funny and touching, every episode of every season, and that's worth being excited about.

I liked season 5 of HIMYM, it wasn't as good as the previous four seasons, but still better than most sitcoms. season 6 has been great so far.

[mouood]

Sigh. Fuck NBC.

[meeotch]

Speechless right now... damnit all.

[Max_123]

can't wait for season 3, but it really sucks that they pushed it back so far fuck that
