TV Notes

- Yes, the American version of "The Office" was halfway decent. Not nearly as good as the absolutely brilliant British version, but still better than expected- and a helluva lot more watchable than the extricable American "Coupling" from a couple years back. That it's supposed to get even better -and more original- in subsequent episodes will likely keep me watching.

- The first few episodes of this year's "Project Greenlight" have me more convinced than ever that the show is rigged. You may have thought the second-season directors were clueless idiots, but John Gulager- the guy who can't make a single decision except that he wants all the roles filled by his family members- makes Kyle and Efram look like Godard and Fellini.

- I’m still yet to catch the “Real Sports” segment on Doug and Jackie Christie- whenever I do, I might have to take the following day off from work just to recuperate.

dude- the doug christie thing is GREAT!
the best shot is of the cheerleaders...the camera is behind them, zooming in on doug, and he's the only one not looking at them. He's looking at the floor. We HAVE to save him!!!

I saw the Doug and Jackie story. Frankly, they're weird, but it seems that he likes it. She must be GREAT in bed.
That's all I'm saying.

Extricable? I think you mean execrable. Although it did end up being extricated...
