NBC's Fall Schedule

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.

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.

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.

It sounds a lot like Jake 2.0 to me, except they eliminated the nanites.

Yeah, Adam Baldwin is tempting.
