My Name is Earl (1.18) and The Office (2.18)

Earl Hickey is the man and the reason this is a fact is because of Mr. Jason Lee. Think about it: would we otherwise be tuning in every week to see some random redneck making amends for the bad he's done? I don't think so. Jason Lee is perfect for this role. He's got the look and the accent down and he's got the comedic chops to pull it all off beautifully. This week we got another hilarious peek into Earl's childhood and it looks like he and Papa Hickey are slowly making some headway into a semi-normal relationship. And that's how you know it's fiction, ladies and gentleman.

Fun quote of the night:

Randy: You gonna do something for your mom, Catalina?
Catalina: My mother is dead.
Randy: I'm sorry.
Catalina: Oh, it's ok, it was either her or me.

It's was "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" (does this exist in real life? If so, I feel ripped off!) at Dunder Mifflin this week and the office pulled out all the stops: candy on the desks, sweet serenades, the whole shebang. We learned that Michael Scott has never had friends but is desperate for 100 kids so that he'll never be lonely again, a life-long dream apparently. How I would pay to see him managing such a brood! I smell spin off. Speaking of kids, Angela and Dwight would make some, ahem, interesting offspring and it looks like Roy may end up being decent dad material. It's a good thing too since Pam thinks encouraging kids to play with shredders is a grand idea.

Fun quote of the night:

Michael: The kids don't wanna hear some weirdo book that your Nazi war criminal grandma read to you--
Little girl: What's a Nazi?
Michael: 'What's a Nazi?'?
Dwight: Nazi was a fascist movement from the 1930's--
Michael: No, no, no! Don't talk about Nazis in front of-- You know what? They're gonna have nightmares so why don't you just shut it?
Dwight: I was gonna teach the children how to make corn husk dolls...
