Michael Scott: Yes. It is true. I, Michael Scott, am signing up with an online dating service. Thousands of people have done it, and I am going to do it. I need a username, and... I have a great one. "Little Kid Lover". That way people will know exactly where my priorities are at.

The Office Theme

The Office is killing NBC

With the NBC brass confusing The Office with "quality programming" we have now reached a zenith in the life of NBC.

The mighty (well, once mighty) network keeps on the air unwatchable stuff like The Office and is confused why the public is not there.

Well, it's easy to understand: if you offered quality, your audience would return promptly. Keep showing awful shows like The Office and they will stay away.

I tried watching The Office and boy was I laughing (at it!) It is so badly made it makes you wonder why NBC is supposedly spending so much money on it.

Its production values are below that of a reality show!! So go on, NBC, keep buying awards for your bad shows and keep making up complicated false explanations as to why viewers don't want what your executives call "quality" but is in reality an embarrassment.
