I’m definitely interested in **The IT Crowd** ; the original was hilarious, and the fact that Moss is making it to the US makes it very worth checking out. I just hope they treat it like **The Office** and not like **Red Dwarf**. “Have you tried turning it off and on again” is a catchphrase where I work. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Omniscient] He may have been better in it, certainly had a more substantial role (with _BoB_ being such an ensemble and all), but you said it was the best thing you’ve seen him in. That implied that _Keane_ was better than _Band of Brothers_ and I simply cannot let a statement like that be. Lewis could have been in the freaking _Godfather_ and such a statement would have been blasphemy. [/QUOTE] Fair enough. When I said “the best thing he’s ever done”, I was referring to the performance, not the complete work itself. 🙂 ---

They didn’t even give Raines a chance. And this; > [@](#): > > Chuck is about a computer geek who becomes a spy (somehow). It’s produced by Josh Schwartz, who did The O.C., and director McG. sounds like Jake 2.0. I’m really curious about the “somehow”. If it’s a Jake 2.0 ripoff I’m boycotting on principle. ---

I found [this](http://content.meevee.com/?q=node/fullstory/5170) about “Chuck”: > [@](#): > > When Chuck opens an e-mail subliminally encoded with government secrets, he unwittingly downloads an entire server of sensitive data into his brain. Now, the fate of the world lies in the unlikely hands of a guy who works at Buy More. Instead of fighting computer viruses, he must fight assassins and international terrorists. With the government’s most precious secrets in Chuck’s head, Major John Casey (Adam Baldwin… I stopped reading after the words “Adam Baldwin.” I will watch darn near anything if it has Adam Baldwin in it. This is one of those guys who could stand in front of a camera reading his laundry list, and I would tune in. The show sounds like a ripoff of _Johnny Mnemonic_, but, by golly, Adam freaking Baldwin is in it, so I’ll be there. ---

Yeah, Adam Baldwin is tempting. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nbcs-fall-schedule/404056.md?page=2)
