Amy Poehler’s new vehicle got some pretty crappy early reviews. I just watched it this afternoon, and I was pretty impressed.
Critics say it’s a little too close to The Office (mockumentary style, talking head interviews, naive protagonists you want to root for, etc.) While this critique may be valid, I’m not complaining. If three Law [...]

Do you realize how much good TV comes on Wednesdays? Wednesday is my new Thursday. Booya.
A bunch of analog stations switched over to digital yesterday ahead of the new deadline. So far the FCC is reporting very few issues. Sidenote: A kid I work with just submitted his application for a converter box. I asked [...]
I Missed You Amy!

This just in: Amy Poehler was in the cold open this week for SNL.
It was marvelous. I didn’t realize how much I missed her until I saw her do Hillary again. I was just getting used to her not being around and then bam, she’s back in my living room.
This will sting all over again [...]

It’s been a slow news week. We’ll keep it short.
Wanda Sykes came out of the closet at a Prop 8 Rally over the weekend. You go girl! Check out this timely clip from an old stand-up special.
And I finally have one reason and one reason only to give a crap about Jimmy Fallon taking over [...]
Sunday: So Happy, So Sad

And now the first ( and probably last) installment of So Happy, So Sad. It’s exactly what it sounds like.
So Happy: Amy Poehler gave birth to a baby who could quite possibly have the best comedy genes ever. Archie Arnett was born yesterday, weighing in at 8 lbs 1 ounce. Mom, baby and husband/new dad [...]
SNL Round-Up!

Yes, I thought the latest Fey as Palin sketch was hilarious, thanks for asking. Like every blog ever in the past two days, I will go ahead and link to it in case you missed it.
However, I finally caught the full episode of Saturday’s SNL and I must say, this sketch was much funnier. Now [...]

This is my Super Bowl. I’ve booked and scheduled every minute of my day today to ensure I can successfully be in front of my television and ready to watch in awe without feeling guilty about homework, job applications, etc. I’ve studied, I’ve read thousands of blogs entries and watched even more hours of TV [...]
De-Mystifying The Office Spin-Off
Posted in Updates, tagged Amy Poehler, Arrested Development, NFL, Spin-Off, The Office, Will Arnett on July 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Let’s clear things up.
Amy Poehler is NOT going to star in The Office spin-off. Apparently she’s going to be on a different NBC show, similar to The Office (single-camera, maybe a mockumentary) but totally unrelated and set to debut in the spring. Poehler is having a baby this fall after all.
However, there is still going [...]
STOP THE PRESSES: Office Spin-Off News

This is still a rumor but if it comes to fruition, consider it the best thing to happen to The Office since the Schrutebuck. It’s so exciting that I am writing it in a larger font.
Amy Poehler (SNL wonder-woman and comedy movie cash cow) may star in the new Office spin-off.
I know, I know, I [...]
