The Office in China

Ricky Gervais is going to make a Chinese version of The Office. I want to watch this show right now, I can't really imagine what it'll be like.

10 Best TV Shows of the Decade

Can't really complain with Bill Mann's 10 best TV shows of the decade, but I wouldn't have The Sopranos #1, I would have bumped The Shield for 30 Rock and had Friday Night Lights as an Honorable Mention. What do you supposed 6 Feet Under bumps out? Stewart/Colbert probably ought to be counted as one show. What do you think of the list? What were your favorite shows of the decade?


1. The Sopranos (HBO)
2. Deadwood (HBO)
3. The Wire (HBO)
4. The Colbert Report (Comedy Central)
5. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (Comedy Central)
6. Mad Men (AMC)
7. Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO)
8. Extras (HBO)
9. The Shield (FX)
10. The West Wing (NBC)
Honorable Mention: Countdown With Keith Olbermann (MSNBC); Weeds (Showtime); Fareed Zakaria GPS (CNN); The Office (BBC version).


Extras Season 1 and Season 2

Remember the squirmy awkwardness you had from watching the UK Office? You'll get that again with the first season of Extras. The second season, with its mocking of the instant celebrity culture, could be Ricky Gervais' response to fame.
