I don't know enough about the show to be able to tell early episodes from later episodes. Maybe I've only seen late episodes. What I saw I really, really disliked, but not just in the same way I've disliked a lot of other popular shows like Friends. There was something that really revolted me.

A lot of people say they had that reaction for Seinfeld. I never did because I felt the show was a realistic depiction of everyday life.

That's a pretty tough standard, IB.
God knows, you won't get any of that from the "reality" TV shows.
Even the documentary nature shows on Discovery & National Geographic channels are edited to dramatize the events of mostly mundane everyday life.

You know, you could really make brownie points by taking the wife of GF to see this movie if its a show she likes. But I caught bits and pieces of a review this morning on WGN news, and its fucking TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG! I couldn't believe they made a movie about such a shallow TV show in the first place, let alone something that horrible and torturing in length. Holy Shit I'd rather listen to a Pflager sermon for that length of time.

WZ,
I'm man enough to have your back on this one.
The show started out great and lost it's steam around the 4th season.
In it's downward spiral the characters became less complex & the plot became a farce of what the show started out as.
BTW,
IMHO, Ron Livingston's Berger was one of the better portrayals of an overcompensating, insecure male character ever put on film.
The breakup sticky note is classic.

thank christ. yeah i agree, livingston was fantastic in that show.

Last week during John Williams' Saturday show, I loved it when he asked Nick Digilio about reviewing this movie and he went on a rant, saying that he'd get his girlfriend to see it and he'll give her review.

Nick was filling in for Steve and Johnnie the other night and he was ranting about the movie. He basically said it sucked and he hated how they handled the premerie making everyone there sit through a 30 minute making the movie video first and then the 150 minutes of movie after that. He commented how it was 3 hours of his life he'll never get back.

I wish I would have heard it. Sounds like classic Nick. I love it when he rails on a piece of crap. :lol:

Taking the wife or GF for Brownie points or if you are deep deep deep int he doghouse is about the only excuse.

He should be proud of Office Space. That's a great movie.

First 40 minutes of office space should be watched by every college graduate looking for a corp job.
