There are too many people on this earth. We need a new plague.

I really don’t have much to say, I just needed an excuse to use that hilarious quote from Dwight on The Office as a title. God, I love that show. There are only two shows I truly look forward to watching each week, to the point I would die if I missed an episode, and you already know the first one. The Office is my favorite comedy, followed closely by My Name Is Earl because I love Joy and Crabman. Lately I’ve been watching The Office twice before deleting it from the DVR because I often miss stuff when I can’t stop laughing. The show demands a repeat viewing just to take it all in.

Could Michael make us cringe in embarrassment for him any more? He really topped himself this week at Phyllis’ wedding! And could Jim be any cuter? He has the best facial expressions ever. He conveys so much with body language he rarely has to say much yet you get him. I really hope he wins Pam over eventually, although the tension will be lost and sometimes that’s the best part (Who’s The Boss anyone?).

Ahhh now this was more like it. Lots more Jack Bauer eye candy in this episode. And finally, another kill from Jack. What’s he up to this season now, three people? Lame!

I liked how even as Jack was ordering more pain inducing drugs, he still felt bad for his asshole brother and held onto him as if to comfort him while still demanding answers. I was disappointed he didn’t kill him after he confessed to ordering the hits on David Palmer, Tony and Michelle, however. I think Jack would have done it had his father not been there watching. That seemed to stop him dead in his tracks.

And I just knew dad was going to take out Graem! I just didn’t think it was because he was trying to cover his own ass! I genuinely thought it was because he realized how evil Graem was and felt he had to be stopped once and for all. Just wait until Jack finds out about dear old dad. Not that he’ll do much about it. I just can’t see him torturing his father, let alone killing him.

Let’s hope they let us in on all the back story with the Bauer clan, however. I want to know if it was the affair or something else that lead Jack to separate from dad and bro.

Oh and poor Morris … Joe was right that he’d be the one to reprogram the nukes, just not willingly. I wonder how they will coerce him. I hope they don’t end up killing him. I love that sarcastic fuck even if he still seems an unlikely match for Chloe.

Can we please bring back Audry already?! Sure she was annoying, turning her back on Jack in Season 4 when he needed her most, but they worked it out and he got whisked away to China before they could do so much as exchange I love yous. Jack needs something to look forward to and it better not be newly widowed bitchy blue eyes because she rubs me the wrong way. What she ever saw in Graem, and Jack ever saw in her, is beyond me.

I never realized how funny comedian Jim Gaffigan is until I caught Beyond the Pale on Comedy Central last weekend. His hot pockets bit is hilarious!

“Remove from box, insert directly into toilet”.

After that line I started laughing so hard I was crying and not able to breathe. Love it! Now I’m going to have to track down his earlier material. And if he looks a little familiar to you, yes, he plays PJ’s brother, Andy, in My Boys.

I wasn’t looking forward to writing this entry because I wasn’t really impressed with this episode. In fact, overall I’m not at all impressed with this season and I can’t quite put my finger on why. Theoretically this should be one of the best seasons because we’re digging into Jack’s family life more than ever, but it seems so wrong, I just can’t get into it. My favorite episode so far was when Jack went after the terrorist on the train.

And something isn’t right with CTU either. It’s pretty stiff and boring so far. I want, no, I need, a mole and I need it soon! Sure it’s cliche, but who cares? I think we’ll have one when the person to reprogram the nukes is introduced. Joe seems to think it’s Morris. Wouldn’t that be something?

And what was with that shit at the detention center? How does that guy get beat when FBI was supposedly keeping an eye on him? Total bull.

I’m just not feeling this season at all and it’s starting to bug me. I hope things improve soon. It’s still a great show, but it’s not living up to Season 5 in my eyes.

Monday may be the suckiest day of the week, but it sure has the best TV! In addition to my favorite show, 24, some of the better shows are on Mondays: Prison Break, How I Met Your Mother, and The Class. Is it just me or is The Class getting better while How I Met Your Mother is getting rather stale? Barney is the only saving grace on the show. I just haven’t been into the other characters over the past month or so. At first I had no intentions of watching The Class, and even missed the very first episode, if not two, but now I’m glad I decided to watch. It’s no Friends but it’s still very entertaining and I see it improving each week. I’m glad they gave it a chance and didn’t cancel it after the first few episodes. I just hope it does better than Joey did and gets renewed at the end of the season.

I just realized I have taken over for Kevin’s lack of TV posts as of late. Hmmm … interesting.
