Yeah Greg Garcia, local guy. Intern for the Don and Mike Show, Board op for Tony K. on Sportstalk 980.

He was the creator of Yes, Dear also and on that show there was always Redskins gear lying around.

Yeah, the American version is definately growing on me. The BBC version is great, but what I like is how the characters of Gareth & Dwight are so radically different from each other and still so funny despite the fact that they are filling the same roles on the 2 shows.

Much of it is improvised, which I think just makes it better. Ricky Gervais (the boss from the BBC version) is one of the Executive Producers as well.

I love the American version and am not sure on the British one. I tried watching all of season 1 and 2, but I just don't get some of the jokes because they are about British or European culture.

Michael Scott and Dwight are so freakin hillarious on this one though, I laugh until my side hurts.

that makes sense. I grew up watching monty python, doctor who, and (more importantly) the young ones, so i guess i caught more of the cultural jokes...

I'd never heard about it before the other day, but one of the cable channels has a new Doctor Who series That Guy just so u know. I just wish I could remember what channel it was on, but for some reason I'm thinking it's gonna be on the sci fi channel.

it's the sci fi channel, they're showing last years episodes (which i already downloaded, thanks intarweb!). It's really good though and worth a look if you might be interested. the budget is a bit lower than standard network (CSI etc) fare here though, but the acting's solid.

Speaking of "My Name is Earl"

Earl Meets Stewie

The show is great. The "diversity-indian poker" bit was great last week.

If you like "The Office" you gotta check out 40 Yr Old Virgin. Good stuff.

The three shows I try to catch every week are Men, Earl and The Office.
