I'd also love a dollar for the amount of times I did a Jim look at a camera when I worked in an office even if there was no camera!


cant remember where i heard it, but apparently when john krasinsky auditioned for the role of jim, they didnt think he was that good, but then he did that "camera look" and that changed their minds

Rewatched it all again a couple of months ago. It does go a bit downhill when Michael leaves.
Funny show but still could be a tear jerker occasionally, Pam and Jim's wedding and the final episode come to mind.
There's talk of another season or movie being worked on.

I have a Dwight bobble head! :lol:


It amazes me how old it is now. Im in the second season, and the NFL players they talk about for their fantasy teams have been retired 10-12 years.

Pretty ordinary night on the giggle box last night and I stumbled across a couple of My name is Earl episodes.

Easy to forget how good Randy is. :lol:

I've just watched Canadian show 21 Thunder, a sports drama based around a 'youth' soccer team.
Easily watchable without being too clever. The on-field action at times looks a little too contrived, while there are a lot of concurrent story lines running.
If you like sports dramas, it won't fail you.

I slid from this into First Team: Juventus - which is a doco based around the season. The first ep was captivating and the show will definitely dish up better drama than a show like 21 Thunder ever could.

I was doing the same thing Mr. Boon, wasn't the one where Randy found another hat by any chance?

Jeez the season 2 cliff hanger would have been brutal if season 3 didn't start 10 seconds later.

No, he was at Cheer leader camp with Earl.

There are 5-6 websites you can stream any movie or series or even live sports

Watched 2.5 episodes of the new Lost in Space, quite like it but I did grow up with the original.
A few twists to characters similar to the rehash of Battlestar.
Unfortunately the robot is a lot different.

Dont know where to put this, but lately I've been using a few apps to watch content.

Last night I found the Redbull TV app, which is free. It has a live channel, heaps of recaps and saved events, like the WRC. I watched a doco on downhill skateboard speed runs in the 70's. There's also live music and music docos. I was actually surprised how much content is on there.

I've also been using the National Geographic app a lot (free subscription with Optus).

Almost finished watching the new series in full, really enjoyed it. Has Captain Flint from Black Sails playing John Robinson and the nasty chick from House of Cards playing Maureen.
Not a complex story line and not in any way believable but enjoyable and easy to watch, the twist on the robot and some of the characters is cool.
I hope there's more series coming.
Nothing will ever beat the original robot waving his arms about though. ;)

I watched four episodes on the plane to and from Brisbane on Saturday. Didn't have high hopes, but needed something to keep me occupied.

Im actually really enjoying it so far.
