I would TOR the UK series of the Office weekly back in 2003. I so loved it (and Little Britain) that I had no interest in the US series. Got the boxed set when it came out and rewatched several times.

I didn’t know what I was missing! Right before covid I was stuck in a hotel because of weather and flight delays. Happened upon an office marathon and watched about ten straight hours of it! I’m a convert and really love the US series! Steve Carrell was great! I’ve since bought the he US collection.

I never heard of “Herman’s Head.” If you look at my “tag line” you’ll see one reason I have no knowledge of sitcoms in the late 70s and early-mid 80s. I do remember AFRTS playing “One Day at a Time” during my 2d tour with 3d Armd Div.

Still funny today? Forget about the shows that are still on the air, what about the shows that ended 5 years ago?

How old are these people that they have no sense of passing time?

In the episode we watched the other night, the killer was an elderly, lecherous organist and choirmaster for the local church. His accomplice was the supposedly grieving widow of their first victim, her husband.

The Reader’s Digest is a left wing rag.

I’ve been watching “Mama’s Family” lately. It’s on METV in a few minutes.

I have yet to read a comprehensive work that outlines the overwhelming left wing propaganda operation that was almost all US sitcoms after 1970 or so.

The old “milk before meat” aphorism applies to almost every single show that normalized race, class, and gender polarization, and it damn near has destroyed two generations of normies.

Yep.Everyone loved Trump in the 80s.

The Hollywood crowd loves all things superficial. They don’t seem to have the critical thinking down. They are not intellects.

If our country goes, well, they will be the first to get raided.

Husband and I were avid TV followers, but never watched that one, for some reason. We did watch comedies, but mostly cop shows, spies, detectives etc. Until it went woke, we were faithful NCIS followers, that sort of thing.

I was into vampire shows and an agent friend actually got James Parriott to read a spec script from me for Forever Knight. Made all my TV watching worthwhile, even though they were only looking for Canadian writers. Fun days.

Herman’s Head ran about 3 seasons, it was on Fox back in the very early 1990’s, probably can find it on YouTube.
