I'm sadly, sad. I say, bring back Oliver for the series finale.

NUMB3RS
 
 Does anyone like that show? Geeks on call meets CSI. I've tried to sit through it twice and fell asleep both times, so it's not looking good from my end....and how can you take the goofy young doctor from Northern Exposure seriously?
 
 I also tried to watch The Office doodlestyle, but sorry, it's crap compared to the UK and original version. Not USA bashing, it's just the fact.

NUMB3RS has definitely run out of steam....  and I completely disagree as the US version of the Office has really come into it's own as one funny show.

While the BBC version is superior to the NBC version I have come to love the NBC show.  I just think of it as a different show altogther and not BBC via NBC. I hope that makes sense.

I heard, too.  I'm sad.  Although this season started out horrifically awful, it's starting to get good again.  The music is good and regardless of the ridiculous plot twisting, it is a beautifully shot show.  And the last few episodes have been relatively decent.
 
 
 BUT they brought this on themselves.  You can't let your main character leave!!

Last summer, Fox only bought 16 episodes so this isn't much of a surprise.  But I disagree with you Betty - I think the only reason Fox let them have 16 episodes was because they let Mischa Barton leave.  She was certainly not worth the raise she was asking for.  Fox would have cancelled earlier had they caved to her demands.

Bressner...I'm not "trying" anything, it just happens to be my opinion. Admittedly I've only seen one episode so maybe I'll give it another try. The boss is not nearly as obnoxious as Ricky Gervais.
 
 The episode I saw is were they were at some convention and he arranged a party in his hotel room but nobody showed up, predictable and so not funny.

The NBC version is probably better for Americans unfamiliar with the BBC version.  I would check out the episode where Michael burns his foot on his Foreman grill. Classic.

I thought the first few episodes of this season of American Office (the convention episode was one of those) were pretty weak.  But lately it has been great again.  I still dont think it has been as good as last season although Ed Helms is a pretty good addition.

I love Veronica Mars!  I wish more people would watch it.
 
 As for the Office, I was really sad when they made an American version.  The British verson is brilliant.  However, I think they've done a pretty good job with it now.  It's not so bad.  And, can sometimes be really funny.  The Jim and Pam stuff gets on my nerves a little though.
