I liked it. It had some good jokes and already has established likable characters. Soundtrack was effective.

totally. loved the soundtrack. the title sequence with the loni anderson pic and boston playing the background is inspired.

Very surprisingly good. I knew the critics liked it but I really didn't expect it to be so fun. Definitely on my "must watch" list now. For however long this happens to make it, which, knowing my luck, will probably be about 4 weeks.

Great lines, lots of subtle bits going on. Loved the exchange about the name of their gang, especially when the big guy offered his name of "Batman" and one of the others said, "How about we go with something plural?"

I thought he said "Bagman". Batman makes sense after the line at the end of that exchange.

Is this the show where they're going to steal from/kidnap Mick Jagger?

Among, from the previews, many others. If they can deliver a storyline that doesn't turn into cliches after they finish the Jagger one, it should be pretty damned good stuff.

speaking of funny sitcoms. did anyone see my name is earl tonight with the nod to the grizzly-bear-falling-out-of-the-tree-onto-the-trampoline youtube clip? very savvy.

I taped this and watched it last night...its ok. I'm not sure I actually laughed much, but there was enough there to get me back. The bits with Jagger were pretty awesome though.

I liked the In Case Of Emergency a bit better.

Wow, really? I didn't think that was even remotely funny. That had a very "forgotten bad 80s comedy movie" feel about it, right down to the soundtrack. However, that Kelly Hu is waaaaaaay hot.

I'm ranking Knights below The Office, above Scrubs (it's gotten too slapsticky for me,) and way above Earl right now (which has gotten to the point that I just don't care, but my wife insists on watching it so I end up watching too.) Those are the only comedies I watch anymore. 30 Rock didn't hook me at all, despite all the love I've seen for it. A few genuinely very funny lines here and there, but that's about all I can see.

DVR'd it. Will watch this weekend.

Rick Derris · **Posted:** Fri Jan 05, 2007 12:51 pm

Crap. I was going to check this out.

I really should start watching the Office. I have the last 2 episodes on DVR but I haven't watched them yet.

Anybody watch My Boys on TBS? I'll admit that it was a guilty pleasure.

When the fuck does Rescue Me start back up??

Twilightkid · **Posted:** Fri Jan 05, 2007 1:25 pm

Knights of Prosperity and In Case of an Emergency are being repeated on ABC tonite, people!!!!

Mr. Derris....In five years, people will be comparing the US version of the Office to Seinfeld .. *puts up dukes*... IMO, its that good!

and I watched 'My Boys' as well...I lost interest in the show itself bout half the season thru, but I could watch Jordana Spiro balance her checkbook for 8 hours at a time if I was allowed to.

if ya wanna watch the first episode online.

Like with many shows obnervores like, I'm in disagreement on this one. Mostly overplayed, predictable jokes, some (like the intern) obviously ripped off from other sitcoms. Some parts with Jagger were amusing, but not nearly enough to carry the show.

Knights was a little disappointing, but it was a pilot.

Last week's Office might have been the funniest episode I've seen. Thursday on NBC is pretty strong: Earl (the weak link, but decent early lead-in), Scrubs, Office, 30 Rock.

Yes Benjy, I will openly admit to loving My Boys. I watched every episode. Suprisingly no cringe-worthy moments. The season is over and I really hope TBS picks it back up. Qual program.

Kingfish · **Posted:** Tue Jan 09, 2007 2:51 pm

I watch the Office & How I Met Your Mother ( I don't care what anyone says, it's funny).

This is pretty much the only night I watch TV for an extended period of time. Love it.
