James Spader is replacing him. The first episodes were rough because they were basically following the scripts from the British show, but the show came into its own and once the current expanded cast (gabe, andy, more darrel and kathy bates) came in it got very good

This is false. James Spader is replacing Kathy Bates as CEO of Sabre.

The new Michael Scott is still a mystery.

Say what?

He's taking over for Michael... Where did you hear he wasn't?

Quote

After a lengthy wait, it appears that the job search for Michael Scott’s replacement on The Office yielded the fan-favorite psychological manipulator Robert California, played by James Spader. Unfortunately, Mr. California was too manipulative, and he is now the new CEO of Dunder Mifflin’s parent company, Sabre.

...

Of course, while it’s great to hear that James Spader will be joining The Office for its eighth season, Dunder Mifflin is still without a new boss. While nothing has been announced, and the producers are just now getting around to actually deciding themselves, it has been rumored that Dwight (Rainn Wilson), Andy (Ed Helms) and Jim (John Krasinski) are currently in the running.

Then it'll be Andy for sure.

The last rumor was that it would be Catherine Tate, but so far nothing definite has leaked.

aren't bringing in anyone new to replace Michael Scott as branch manager, so it will be an internal hire.

It's still predictable and still cool. I guessed both of the twists this week, but it didn't matter.

You're getting closer. At some point you'll realize nothing in life matters. Stay faded and freak the future.

I gave up a couple weeks ago. I thought the plot was predictable, the acting poor and character interactions forced.

Faded? Or did you mean jaded? Or am I just missing something? Hmmmm...

Actually watched part of last night's episode at work while waiting to clock out. It wasn't bad. That's the first I'd actually watched any of it. Falling Skies that as.

Agreed. It's a solid, entertaining show. Good action, I like the characters, freak it if it's predictable at times, who cares?

Yea the new monsters are sick. Really creepy looking. The finale is going to be awesome I think. I'm excited for it.

Saw the beginning of a show called 'Paranormal Challenge'. It was so bad, even I turned it off. I'll watch some cheesy stuff, anyone on this forum knows that, and I'm telling you this was BAD.

That's stinker, too. But yeah, I didn't even make it to the 'challenge'. They introduced the 'teams' and I was like 'ah nah'....

Did anyone see "Take the Money and Run" last night (Aug 2)?

The premise tv shows calls you and hands you a briefcase with 100K in it. You have an hour to hide it. At the end of the hour, you get faux-arrested by real detectives. They get your car's GPS route and cell phone records. Then they turn you over to 2 interrogators. The 1 guy (they were brothers), couldn't handle the fake jail and told the interrogators where the briefcase was hidden. The jail looked like a tv set, both guys in solitary, crappy jail bed, metal commode, but no Vern Schillinger for a cellmate.

Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations is really good this season. Last night I caught the California Desert one with Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone age, and the new one where he went to Chernobyl. Definitely worth watching.

American Pickers is an awesome show.
