Yeah, that was hilarious. He was barely there, though. I bet 85% of the Entourage audience said "Who the [expletive] is that?"
How did I miss that? Which scene?

He was getting on Vince's charter flight to Italy. The pilot or something said something like "You know Jimmy E" and some other guy.
Suprisingly, Edmonds had on a full length shirt.

Man, just Hulu'ed the second FlashForward. Damnit, now I'm stuck. Argh. I need to not watch any more till the end of the season. I hate waiting a week for new content.

I dig that Flash Forward too. That's the only new show I've watched this year, and it's got the potential to be real sweet. Definetly something different.

I agree. It was stupidly forced too. Their coworkers dancing in the aisle at their wedding? That's not going to happen ever. It was just, "Hey did you guys see that youtube video? Let's do that! Except instead of the wedding party, let's have the characters from the show do it since everyone knows and likes them. Who cares if realistically that would never happen?!"

That's my problem with the US version of The Office. They've completely abandoned reality. The setting and concept works so much better when its rooted in truth. That's one of the reasons the BBC version (minus the XMAS special) worked so well.

i wouldn't say that it's completly abandoned in the US version, but nevertheless i agree with your assessment

also...while i think it's funny that michael apparently hooked up with pams mom, i didn't like that they switched actresses (from the mom who appeared in like, season 2 very briefly)...and also, that original mother was much more "homely" then the one in the wedding, who appeared to be a new york type lady...i dunno...

i also didn't understand if pam and jim got married on the boat before the ceremoney with family or after...

I know it didn't quite fit, but I don't remember laughing so hard as I did when Creed's dancing and grabbing his junk.

They have long since become charicatures of the realistic office characters they were based on. It works, so I'm not going to complain.

I loved the three wolf tee on Dwight though. They really should've had him bagging a chubby girl in sweatpants and flip-flops.
