Office Watch: Penalty for Clipping
[vodpod id=Video.2910011&w=425&h=350&fv=]
Time is tight this morning, so I’m going to skip the usual NBC Thursday-comedies Watch and invite you to tell us what you thought of Community, Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock.
Instead, I’ll just focus on the one question that I’m sure is on all of our minds: what the hell was that thing they …

NBC Thursday Watch: Green Comedy Machine
NBC’s Thursday sitcoms observed Green Is Universal Week in ways larger (subplots in Community and 30 Rock) and smaller (Recyclops and a “carbon neutral” reference in The Office, um, shooting at nature in Parks and Recreation). Time to review, recap and recycle!

NBC Sitcoms Watch: Four on the Floor
As much as we all like to beat on NBC lately, its Thursday comedy lineup is—whatever weekly ups and downs it has—the most consistently solid sitcom block it’s had in years, if not ever, without a single Stark Raving Mad-like filler show in the bunch.

Halloween Comedy Watch: Who Wants a Chuckle?
Last night, each of NBC’s Thursday comedies aired episodes that were, more or less, Halloween-themed. In the spirit of the holiday, I have something for each of them! But who gets a fun-size Snickers and who gets a rock?

The Morning After: Cement Shoes
As I mentioned yesterday, my visit to the Monty Python reunion means I have a greater Thursday-TV backlog than usual. (I did catch the weak, overly wacky “Mafia” episode of The Office, which doesn’t require much comment.) So use this space to discuss any of last night’s shows. In the meantime, I’m thinking of taking the advice of one …

Our Thursday Problem
The emerging consensus in Tuned Inland is that Thursday is becoming a problem. A high-class problem, yes: too much good (or at least potentially good) TV. I don’t even watch Grey’s Anatomy, yet at this point, I find myself finishing my time-shifted Thursday-night programming somewhere around the following Monday—especially since Mrs. …

Now the Deluge: Office, Parks & Rec and Fringe Return
Besides tonight’s debut of Community, we also have the returns of The Office, Parks and Recreation and Fringe, which Fox has decided to add to my Thursday entertainment burden menu. After the jump, a little rundown of what to expect, and how I plan to handle blogging the heavy schedule of Thursday shows as the fall season kicks in.
