I'm glad the show won for comedy..I did vote for it several times.  I also voted for Jim and Kaley - she was nominated too.  I think Jim should have won.

Thats great news, although I kind of have to agree with the Steve Carell winning, he makes me laugh so much in the office.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: The Complete Series (Disc 1)
What goes on behind the scenes of a nationwide late-night comedy sketch show? Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing, answers that question with a must-see show within a show filled with engaging characters, ear-grabbing dialogue and a Hollywood hive of insider buzz.

Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford portray the likable hotshots brought in to revive NBS-TV's sagging flagship comedy series and Amanda Peet plays their savvy boss in episodes exploring the lives and loves of and the make-or-break creative pressures on the show's staff.

Episodes:
1. Pilot
2. The Cold Open
3. The Focus Group
4. The West Coast Delay

My Thoughts:
After all this time it took me a few episodes to get into the characters again. And the series had a slight slow start. But now by the 4th episode I am really getting into this show again. And I am looking forward to the rest of the set. This show is of course more about the behind the scenes of a show that would compare to Saturday Night Live more then it is about the skits themselves. Though we do get to see a skit here and there as they are performing it.

Watched another disc of this great sitcom. Brittany watched a couple episodes with me. Including the Christmas episode (The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis) which is my favorite episode on this disc. Though they of course were all good.

My Thoughts:
Wow! I really got hooked on this show again. I just couldn't stop watching until I completed the entire set!  While there is some episodes that are only a little above average. The show on a whole is very powerful. And final 5 to 6 episodes in the set is just plain amazing! After watching this entire set over the last few days... I finally realized just today that one of the actors who looked very familiar is now on The Big Bang Theory as Howard Wolowitz!

[Dragonfire]

I watched this when it was on and I liked it. 
I don't think I realized that Howard was on it.

My Thoughts:
Felt like finishing off this set. It was of course fun to see these episodes again. I enjoyed every second of it. Like most people I really enjoyed the interaction between Penny and Sheldon. I also watched the special features in the set. Featurettes were ok... but the gag reel was fun. But I always did like gag reels.

Speaking of The Big Bang Theory, I got a kick out of last night's new episode, especially Sheldon and the Green Lantern lantern.  It was also nice seing Danica McKellar again who I've only seen a few times since The Wonder Years went off the air.

Thanks Roger... I completely forgot it was on last night... I have it recorded on my DVR though.

My Thoughts:
I haven't watched any Seinfeld in a while. It is odd really. Once I start to collect something on DVD I don't bother watching it any longer when it is rerun on TV. From that point on I only watch it on DVD (or new episodes on TV if it is a current show). These discs reminded me how much I enjoy the series. And I really liked a lot of the episodes on the first 2 discs. But there were a few that just didn't feel that great. But I guess that is to be expected once you get into the 7th season of a show. Most shows don't even make it that long.

That was Danica McKeller?  I knew she sort of looked familiar, but couldn't place her.

She was in The Wonder Years. Now that's a TV show I would like to buy, but no chance since it is in music right hell...

My Thoughts:
I just watched this entire season... all 25 episodes... in 2 days! I did this because of my pilot marathon. Once I watched that pilot episode I couldn't help but to continue watching till I watched every episode I own. Which I now did. At least until I buy season 4. Which I plan on ordering tomorrow. My plan is to order season 4 of this show... as well as ordering the first season of the spin-off series Private Practice. This is the second time I watched these episodes... and I enjoyed them just as much this time around as I did the first time.

6. In Which Charlotte Goes Down The Rabbit Hole

8. In Which Cooper Finds A Port In His Storm
9. In Which Dell Finds His Fight

My Thoughts:
Well... I just finished the first season set... which only contains 9 episodes (Thanks to that year's writers strike). But the funny thing is... Grey's Anatomy...  which this is a spin-off from... also only had 9 episodes in it's first season. I never cared too much for Addison on Grey's Anatomy. Not until towards the end of her on that series. But I am enjoying her in this series. Though I must admit... while this is still a good show. It is not quite as good as Grey's Anatomy. It actually had to grow on me for a few episodes before I got into it. Where I was hooked on Grey's Anatomy from the pilot episode. But I am looking forward to seeing some more episodes.

[snowcat]

Interesting... I haven't watched Greys anatomy but I saw that private Practice was going to be shown over here soon so I set it to record on the Sky+ box but ive not watched it yet!

Im always interested to see if spin offs like this do very well... its not often I see them
