THE OFFICE!! CHEERS!! QUARK!! HONEY WEST!! SUPERMAN!! COLBERT!! TWILIGHT ZONE!! HercVault!!

Wait... just so we're straight... The Office needed two exclamat by Cash907	Sep 2nd, 2008 02:01:09 AM
Maybe it's not funny to me because I've never worked in a cubicle farm, but how does anyone get that excited over a show that boring? Sigh Each time I see Firefly on bluray, my resolve to resist being taken in by another hidef format crumbles a little more. No fair Sony, that's like dangling a quarter pounder in front of a pudgy kid at fat camp.
The Twilight Zone Rules! by Redfive!	Sep 2nd, 2008 02:32:16 AM
It really is one of the most compelling TV Series Ever!. Ive watched The 1980s version becuase thats the one I grew up with so many times I know them by heart.Now I cant wait to dig into The Original series and for $34.99,thats amazing.
An idiot farting in a jar is funnier than the office. by americasfavoriteguy	Sep 2nd, 2008 02:47:01 AM
Honestly. You spend that many paragraphs talking about a show that may not be the worst show ever (far from it) but unquestionably the most over-hyped show that has ever existed, while Reaper gets just a graphic and a link? Yeah, you've got your pulse on what's worth watching (sarcasm travels great over the written word).
I remember Quark by newc0253	Sep 2nd, 2008 02:53:30 AM
and not just for the twins in the silver hot pants either. I remember it being funny to an 8 year old.
Yup, Cheers is funnier than The Office by Liberty Valance	Sep 2nd, 2008 03:07:14 AM
Not because The Office is bad, but simply because Cheers is funnier than everything else.
Yes, Cheers IS funnier than the Office. by Zero Mayhem	Sep 2nd, 2008 03:11:58 AM
Now write that down so you don't forget.
Yes, Pot IS a memory loss drug. by BadMrWonka	Sep 2nd, 2008 04:05:49 AM
resulting in people thinking that Cheers is funnier than The Office
Yes, Cheers is way funnier than the Office by chrth	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:08:25 AM
Felt the need to chime in as well
Damn you Wonka! by chrth	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:09:44 AM
Wassup, buddy? (And you're wrong, Cheers is definitely funnier than the Office)
DOUG!!! by Thrillho77	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:13:50 AM
Wow, this Doug release just popped right out of thin fucking air! Then, I read it's an Amazon-exclusive. "Burn on Demand" - when someone orders it, they print the discs. That is a novel idea! Here's to season sets of Rocko and Aaaah! Real Monsters next!
Cheers is funnier by Thrillho77	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:14:26 AM
TAXI is funnier than both of those, though. :D
Cheers was lame by mhennessey7	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:54:37 AM
The office rocks.
Big Bang Theory out today? by Felix_Happer	Sep 2nd, 2008 09:06:58 AM
Cool.
Cash907 by Felix_Happer	Sep 2nd, 2008 09:11:53 AM
I feel ya. BR Firefly may be just the release that makes me bite the bullet.
Hopefully the Doug release will result in by chrth	Sep 2nd, 2008 10:17:37 AM
Weekenders being released, that was a great show.
Why would anyone go to Eastern Europe? by James_O'Nasty	Sep 2nd, 2008 10:17:49 AM
Gay or straight?
Re: The Twilight Zone rules! by Gilkuliehe	Sep 2nd, 2008 10:54:49 AM
Yes. Indeed it does, my friend. Not too long ago I asked fellow talkbackers if I should get the whole series and they said YES. Now I must say I'm happy I listened to you fellas, because the box set is amazing. I haven't finished it yet, but the writing alone makes it worth it. Rod Serling fucking ROCKED.
Superman Doomsday by Snookeroo	Sep 2nd, 2008 10:56:15 AM
Was not that good of a story arc to begin with. It was a poor choice for a DVD movie, and certainly doesn't need a "special edition" Sorry, but Superman is not dark and edgy -- and it's a mistake to try to make him that way. D.C./Warners really needs to get over their "Death of Superman" fixation.
My jar of farts and I... by americasfavoriteguy	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:15:34 AM
My jar of farts and I simply prefer someone do something funny, ANYTHING, in our comedies. Which puts The Office right out of viewing tolerance.
I love 'em both by BizarroJerry	Sep 2nd, 2008 11:21:15 AM
But by sheer number of funny seasons alone, Cheers is funnier. I mean, we could compare specific scenes or episodes, and some Office would be better than some Cheers, but Cheers is one of my favs. I'd love to see Cliff meet Dwight, though.
Bump?! by GrandMuffTarkin	Sep 2nd, 2008 12:29:03 PM
WTF is that?
Herc, no love for Life? by Big Jim	Sep 2nd, 2008 12:50:16 PM
or Supernatural? I was very frustrated with Quark as a kid because I kept missing it. Only managed to see 2 episodes. I thought it was funny. Am curious to see if I would still find it funny today. We'll see.
Desperate Housewives, Season 4 by Big Jim	Sep 2nd, 2008 12:51:40 PM
Judging by the cover it seems this is the season where Teri Hatcher transforms into a demon and opens the Hellmouth.
Dear Santa, by Big Jim	Sep 2nd, 2008 12:57:00 PM
Please bring me a BluRay player and 50 inch HD TV so I can watch Band of Brothers and Firefly. I've been a good boy all year and always clean my room. Do not listen to what my parents tell you about me, they are just a bunch of stupidheads. Your best friend, Jimmy P.S. Say hi to Rudolph for me!
Ghost Hunters @ Waverly Hills by nyj_et	Sep 2nd, 2008 01:07:19 PM
I lived in Louisville for seven years and can tell you that, without a doubt, Waverly Hills is nothing more than a decaying old dump. And not haunted.
Oh My God - Its FINALLY Happened! by loserguy3000	Sep 2nd, 2008 04:14:20 PM
Cheers and The Office...Denver the Last Dinosaur and Bump! Plenty of Dr. Who and even more Nickelodeon shows!! This is, by far, the most chock-filled post of SHIT and AWESOME that I've ever had the pleasure/displeasure of seeing on AICN!!! Absolutely no editing and just haphazard plopping of EVERYTHING has resulted into one ball of cluster-fuck cool and garbage... I love it!!
The Office rocks... by Somerichs	Sep 2nd, 2008 04:43:38 PM
But Cheers rocks harder. Sorry, 'tis the truth... "Diane, do you realize you just ended that proposition with a preposition?" Classic...
Herc by The Llama	Sep 2nd, 2008 05:29:57 PM
Where's our Coax-approved list of fall premiere dates?
sorry mcpoops, BoB owned by... by Somerichs	Sep 2nd, 2008 06:53:12 PM
The Wire. Don't feel bad, though, cos every other show ever made is, too...it's not to say BoB isn't good, far from it...
Outer Limits-45th Ann. Holy Crap! by rben	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:39:46 PM
Has it been that long already? I can remember it like it was yesterday (i'm old). So does anyone know if this packaging will FINALLY have some extras on it (interviews with Joseph Stefano, Leslie Stevens, Harlan Ellison, Frontiere would be nice.) oh, and throw in some of the actors too. Crist, wasn't Culp in like 4 of em? How about an interview with him before the poor fella croaks! Nice price on Zone but i'm still holding out for the price to attain Buffy dimensions (you know, like 20 clams.)
Does the Wire have du by worldofwarcraft	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:40:57 PM

Does the Wire have dumb black people? by worldofwarcraft	Sep 2nd, 2008 08:47:30 PM
I' so tired of every poor black person on TV being either smart and streetwise or really good people. Or a mix of the two. Richard Price was so highly lauded, but that guy seems like he's never talked to a black guy outside of central casting, forget about central booking.
Mr. Mcpoops by Thrillho77	Sep 2nd, 2008 09:38:03 PM
If The Wire wasn't interesting, then what could possibly interest you?
McPoops by BadMrWonka	Sep 2nd, 2008 10:31:47 PM
so The Wire fizzled out, but Lost just keeps getting better, right? are you voting for Ron Paul as well? also, I have land on Mars you should buy, real cheap...
Taxi...HELL YEAH!!!! by Quartermass-87	Sep 3rd, 2008 06:13:11 AM
Cheers was funnier than the Office...thats the U.S. version...British version...or I should say "REAL" Office is awesome. But as someone mention...Taxi owns them both...Taxi was awesome...funny and deep...HAHAHA I just laughed thinking of the "slow down" episode of Taxi.
Taxi was hilarious by Big Jim	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:36:42 AM
I still quote Vic Ferrari: "I want to live life in the fast lane" "Walk with me, talk with me" "Hey man, you just wasted Elvis Costello" and he was on just one episode.
Mcpoops - Wire Season 4 was a slow burn by Big Jim	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:49:05 AM
the pay-off comes in the last couple of episodes, especially for the 4 kids. It is the journey as much as the destination, but seeing how the season ends made me look back at the paths each kid took and where he ended up, which was different than what you think when first introduced to them. I don't look at The Wire as episodic television; I see it as a 13-part miniseries. But I didn't watch it on tv, only by DVD so I watched each season in a week or so. It might have made a difference if I had had to wait a week between episodes; maybe I might not have been able to get that into it.
Cheers Love! by PeanutGallery	Sep 3rd, 2008 11:25:48 AM
Love reading all the love for Cheers and Taxi....ahh when sitcoms were fun!
I just bought the office yesterday, SO WORTH IT by BadMrWonka	Sep 3rd, 2008 05:02:23 PM
the bloopers alone are like half an hour long! Herc is right about the deleted scenes, too...great stuff...it's like an alternative version of each episode...
Must--Resist--Urge--to--Buy--Off ice......! by rben	Sep 3rd, 2008 09:14:54 PM
Have....no....money! there thank god, that felt good. oh, and according to Amazon there are no extra's on that Outer Limts 45th Ann. box set. Thank the gods of kobol cause i already have both seasons already. crisis averted. yea, i need to go to that damn grocery store tomorrow and get that second job. doh!
Norm Peterson... by MCVamp	Sep 3rd, 2008 10:49:19 PM
Let's give it up for Norm Peterson, the greatest true supporting character in sitcom history. Woody: "You want a beer Mr. Peterson?" Norm: "Isn't it a little early, Woody?" Woody: "For a beer?" Norm: "No, for stupid questions."
Woody: "How's it going Mr Peterson?" by Big Jim	Sep 4th, 2008 10:29:12 AM
Norm: "It's a dog-eat-dog world and I'm wearing Milkbone underwear." Norm: "Women: You can't live with 'em. Pass the beer nuts."
"What does a yellow light mean?" by Somerichs	Sep 4th, 2008 02:36:56 PM
"Slow down." "Whaat dooees a yeeellooow liiight meeean?" "Slow down!" (exasperated)"Whaaaaaaaaat doooooeeees aaaa yeeeeeeeellooooooow liiiiiiiiiiight meeeeeeeeeeean?" Gotta love Jim Ignatowski...
CHEERS IS FUNNIER THAN THE OFFICE. The office is funnier than c by Red Dawn Don	Sep 4th, 2008 02:57:49 PM
"CHEERS IS FUNNIER THAN THE OFFICE (TO ME)." "The office is funnier than cheers (to me)." All those who claim any of the above are omitting the "TO ME" part. Comedy much like beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Now in reality THE KING OF QUEENS is funnier than CHEERS or THE OFFICE to me (RDD). Just saw the one where DOUG is the softball playing pseudo-lawyer. That show makes ME laugh out loud every episode, not so with C or TO.
QUARK ...... The Blonde Double Mint Gum Twins by Red Dawn Don	Sep 4th, 2008 03:15:28 PM
Quark, The Blonde Double Mint Gum Twins are Cyb (Priscilla) Barnstable and Patricia Barnstable. GOOGLE IMAGES has pictures of them as they MILF-ED into later life.
They should do Quark up as a movie by Subversive01057	Sep 5th, 2008 04:44:25 PM
I enjoyed it as a kid, but it's going to need to be adultified. For instance, perhaps in the movie, the twins could be topless. And the pollination scenes could be made disgustingly humorous money shots.
Twilight Zone collection more like $186 total by Red Giant	Sep 5th, 2008 10:25:29 PM
Why do you post prices like that, just say how much the damn thing costs total - it sure isn't anywhere near $35 (more like $35 PER SEASON).
