For some reason I watched Carpoolers last night on ABC. It's a comedy about four guys who carpool to an office building and their lives at the office and at home.

It was hilarious, why have I never seen this show before? So does anybody else watch Carpoolers?

Ah, fellow Car Pooler. I love that show. Very good writing and 80's music.

I particularly enjoy Marmaduke :)

It's a good show, but it had "Cavemen" as a lead-in. Which is not a bad show, either, but it had such negative word-of-mouth, hardly anyone bothered to watch it. Now, in a different time slot, it's following "According to Jim," which just started its new season.

I would have watched it, but the pilot episode of "House" was on, and I had never seen that.

My God; "According to Jim" is still on? I'll have to check out "Carpoolers".

It took me a couple of episodes to start to love Carpoolers. Marmaduke is a terrific character! Just the right level of absurdity that I really like...

Cool, I'll add it to my Tivo list. Do you watch The Office and Big Bang Theory?

He sort of reminds me of a young Will Ferrell. He has that innocent quality Ferrell had in "Elf."

I do and I love both.

Ahh I love the Office and got totally hooked on Big Bang Theory as well - hope it comes back after the strike.

Mom got me to watch an episode of Carpoolers. Kinda ridiculous. She likes it a lot.

Big Office fan, and I've heard that Big Bang Theory is good, but I already have too many things on the TiVo.

As for the latest Carpoolers episode, I loved the little "details" in the Harassment Officers office. One of the funniest (yet most obvious) sight gags in a while...

They've only had like 6 episodes of Big Bang Theory, so it's not a big commitment at this point. :D

Sure, but I still have last seasons episodes of Dirt and The 4400 that I still need to catch up on. Not to mention The Dead Zone, and the SciFi mini The Tin Man. And Pushing Daisies....

Man, that's a list of crappy (well maybe not 4400 or Daisies) shows I've recorded! At least a couple are cancelled, so I won't get further behind. Even this writer's strike hasn't allowed me to catch up.
