@ it's new day and time and I must say, it really does justice to the great shows like Seinfeld, Frasier, and Cheers that came before it. It really is a fun, original show and I hope it stays around.

That said, the shows that surround it are godawful.

It was my second time to watch Earl and I think I'm hooked... especially since it's on Thursday now - no other programming conflicts like it was on Tuesdays.

They might be godawful(IYO), but the worst of them is The Office; which has to be the worst comedy Ive ever seen.

I never like "Will & Grace."

"Four Kings" wasn't very good. They were trying too hard to build up the friendship between the four guys. It was forced and didn't feel genuine at all.

"The Office" is not original at all. They took the defunct sitcom "Working" and put a new lable on it.

The Office is an acquired taste. You can't get into it by just watching just one episode.

This was the third time I tried to watch "The Office" and it stunk every time. I'm not going to force myself to watch a show if it stinks. Not even for a few episodes.

I agree, My Name Is Earl is probably the best comedy on these days! Its unfortunate that NBC has old crap to surround it with(although I really do enjoy Will and Grace still). Oh well.... I'm assuming this weeks Crumbs starts on ABC in the 9:30 slot after Dancing With the Stars and it looks good.... so no more watching The Office just for the reason of watching something!

Or ten.

"Acquired taste" is really just a nice way of saying "bad show." People don't really come to like acquired tastes. Their senses just get dulled from repeated exposure to such consistent terribleness that eventually they begin to forget that they're still watching the same bad show they were when they started. It's really a defense mechanism.

And you're the same guy that hates "Everybody Hates Chris." Critics love it, what don't you like about "Everybody Hates Chris?" And how can you NOT like it? Don't you think Chris has enough people hating him already?

I like Chirs Rock (love it how hes a Bush basher) but his show is crap. The Office does way better than Everybody Hates Chris by the way, also Everybody Hates Chris is on UPN, the cheap network with crappy local stations, with crappy programming.

I thought "The Crumbs"? looked promising. Jane Curtin cracked me up.

I agree about Earl...one of the best comedies to come along in years now...I think it is the best comedy on TV now except for Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I also agree about The Office...and the comedies that surround Earl. I tried to watch The Office probably 3-4 times...but the people are too obnoxious...they remind me of people who I would avoid so spending a half hour with them is too much to ask.

I've never been a Will and Grace Fan (though I do like Rosario)...and I have no opinion of The Four Kings except that it was a yawner. I think the greatest comedies of NBCs Must See TV were Mad About You, Frasier and Cheers (not sure if Taxi was ever part of their line up but if it was...I would add them to the list as well)

This show is hysterical. It's like a Jeff Foxworthy bit come to TV.

I'm in agreement about 'The Office'. I tried to like it, but if I worked with these people I would have to quit and find another company to work for.

I haven't watched 'Four Kings' or 'Crumbs' or 'Emily's Reasons Why Not' yet, they're still sitting on my TiVo.

I also love My Name Is Earl, and hate The Office. But now that Earl is opposite CSI, I only watch Earl if CSI is a rerun. CSI had dibs on that spot in my House.

I hate 'My Name Is Earl'. It is the worst piece of crap on television. I can't believe there is more of it on TBS than Seinfeld or The Office.
