TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Clearly SNL has been utterly terrible since the day Norm McDonald was fired from Weekend Update, but Dana Carvey? The show has really reached the point at which hosting gigs are being used to beg Hollywood to hire its terrible former castmembers?

Jeez, Lorne, if he needs work that badly just hire him back onto the show. The nostalgia surge will probably even lead a bunch of people back to the show for a few weeks until Carvey reminds everyone how gratingly unfunny he is.

Dana Carvey and Linkin Park. Is it 1992 or 2002?



I love me some Community. It's so incredibly dorky, even when it's not about D&D, and it's hard for me to picture the show going on for more than two or three seasons or me being interested that long, but I enjoy the F out of it.

Community has been the best sitcom on TV for the past 2 years. I love that show.

Just watched the Dana Carvey SNL on Hulu. It was ok. It was more sad that old Dana Carvey skits/characters showed how much better the show used to be compared to the current crop of characters.

For those who watched last year, Justified is starting up again on Wednesday. The premiere has snuck up on me.

Community is awesome, Each week, you have no clue what you're going to get, other than a ton of laughs,

Anyone watch Lights Out? I think it's great. The scene in the pilot where Lights makes his daughter's boyfriend pee his pants, awesome.

i think the season premiere of Justified was better than any single episode from last season. Some great new cast members too.

I think the funniest show on TV right now, by far, is The League.

Nothing like a bunch of 40 year old guys talking [expletive] on each other about their fantasy football league.

I would watch the office again if this happened:

As an executive producer on the U.S. version of his British series The Office, Ricky Gervais has a say in what happens on the show. If it things go his way, Arrested Development star Will Arnett would be joining the NBC comedy after original star Steve Carell leaves later this season. "Had a little meeting with NBC about various things and recommended Will Arnett for a regular in The Office," Gervais wrote on his blog today. "I think he's amazing."

[cpebbles]

Michael Cera has nothing on Arnett when it comes to the inability to play more than one character (Fantastic as that one character was). In Let's Go to Prison, he was basically GOB. When he's on 30 Rock, he's basically a gay GOB. In the commercials for that awful-looking new show he's on, he's basically GOB.

Bring him onboard for a one-episode guest appearance, but it's disconcerting seeing GOB in a new environment, and I really don't see how that character fits into The Office's environment.

[thrill]

Don't forget how on Running Wilde and Todd Margaret he also played GOB. Also that movie with Will Forte in which he played GOB.

And how I laughed at all of those.
