PS, I'm only watching the Office for Daryl right now. Not just webisodes, but regular episodes as well.
and let me get this straight by bacci40	Jul 31st, 2008 11:34:46 PM
so it seems they gave echo a mind wipe...ooooh, what a concept...lets use the amnesia bit again...but its a webisode, so it doesnt matter that it sucks...that the script is gawd awful or that the actors arent even good enough for summer stock
Dear NBC....you suck. From Canada. by Jubba	Jul 31st, 2008 11:40:12 PM
Why can't Canadians watch?! Booooooooooooooooooooooo!
Mama petrelli by SkiffyPup	Jul 31st, 2008 11:50:45 PM
Much of the rest of the show is shit. They have no idea what to do with Ali Latrer (Effin' hint: Watch the 3rd Resident Evil movie!) BUT- I loves me some momma Petrelli. That clip rocked.
Dissatisfaction... by Diddypop5996	Aug 1st, 2008 12:11:04 AM
Hereos is a shadow of its first season. The writers strike hurt the series and overall direction which most of the time sounds like they either had bad bud or an idea from a studio head. Bottom line NBC blows...Jay Leno...Nuff said.
again, only viewable in the USA... by tbdeinc	Aug 1st, 2008 12:24:27 AM
anybody know where someone outside the USA can view them???
Please God... by Rumpel Tumskin	Aug 1st, 2008 12:31:29 AM
Let Bryan Fuller come back to work on Heroes!

The new season... by iamnicksaicnsn	Aug 1st, 2008 02:20:13 AM
sucks balls. Saw it at Comic-Con. Won't make up for a slow second season. Probably. If they continue the contrived plot points.
Loved the Office. by mrfan	Aug 1st, 2008 05:27:32 AM

Here's NBC's official Heroes season 3 roadmap... by Pennsy	Aug 1st, 2008 08:02:11 AM
"With his abilities returned to him, serial killer Sylar relentlessly continues to accumulate other people's abilities, which leads him to the Bennet house. Bound to a secret company with a keen interest in people like his daughter, "H.R.G.," a.k.a. Noah Bennet, finds new purpose when his most dangerous, fantastic foes break out of custody and must be dragged back. Reeling from recent events and revelations, Claire Bennett, the indestructible high school cheerleader, struggles to define her identity and place in the world. "An act of heroism unveils an amazing secret about Niki Sanders, a Las Vegas single mother with astonishing strength -- and an unknown, hidden family. In Japan, Yamagato Industries heir Hiro Nakamura continues to use his ability to pierce the space-time continuum and manipulate time to leap into wild, international adventures with his best friend, Ando Masahashi. "Nathan Petrelli's attempted assassination leads several Heroes on a stunning spiritual quest to explain his power of flight. For his younger brother, Peter, the future and present collide as his many absorbed powers lead him to discover that the only way to end the catastrophic moment facing the world is to do the unimaginable. Meanwhile, their ruthless mother Angela and her associates continue their ongoing, complex machinations to change the world from the shadows. "Former LAPD officer Matt Parkman is taught new ways to use his expanding ability to hear and manipulate other's thoughts by an unlikely guide. Dr. Mohinder Suresh, a genetics professor from India, takes a dangerous step into darkness as his research into those with extraordinary abilities living among us continues. Far from her Dominican Republic home, Maya Herrera, who causes death when filled with fear or anger, begs Suresh to cure her – only to watch helplessly as he embraces his darker side. "Their ultimate destiny is nothing less than saving the world..." I dunno about this...
Only 4 Office webisodes by ThrowMeTheIdol	Aug 1st, 2008 08:15:17 AM
Last time they made them there were 10. Creed and Phyllis are so easy to write for I'm surprised they didn't show up.
The problem with Heroes.... by seanny_d	Aug 1st, 2008 08:20:57 AM
Why can't they face a threat that they discover through, you know, a normal course of action? Why do they always have to know of a looming catastrophe from the future and then are forced to change that future? I don't understand why they can't just deal with the present. All this future stuff is really getting tired.
At least for its 'Villains' arc. by Pennsy	Aug 1st, 2008 08:27:27 AM
Only series regulars were mentioned in their press release.
Office ones are funny, sorta. Heroes ones... suck. by cyrent	Aug 1st, 2008 09:28:09 AM
Seriously, I think Heroes would be better off if these didn't exist. Not that they haven't already dug themselves into a big shithole anyway.
The Heroes webisode by veritasses	Aug 1st, 2008 09:33:06 AM
has all the same problems that Season2 (and parts of Season1) had. I can sort of "forgive" the directing and editing because it's a webisode but there's no excuse for the story, the writing and (to an extent) the acting to be so bad. NBC is sitting on a Gold mine with Heroes. There's so much you can do with superhero themed stories that you can't with ordinary stories. But they're letting people who clearly aren't up to the task run the show. Sad really. On a bright note, the Office webisodes were brilliant.
America Can See The Videos by Crow3711	Aug 1st, 2008 09:52:03 AM
Because we are AmeriCANs and we CAN see whatever we want. You other sad-sack nations just have to deal with the fact that no major corporations, publishers, or studios give a flying fuck about any of you. You aren't worth the effort to secure the rights to stream the videos to you're caves or whatever. Become real nations, then we'll give you The Office webisodes. Suckers.
And Holy Shit by Crow3711	Aug 1st, 2008 09:58:27 AM
Heroes Fucking Sucks. That Webisode was piss-poor garbage in every way. S2 sucked total balls, but I watched S1 also, and I hate to say it, but it was a lot less than it could have been also. Cheesy, crappy dialogue, stupid situations, completey wasted character. The show sucks people. It was made so broad to appeal to 14 year old girls and 50 year old fanboys. Something that processed is never and will never be any good. I can't wait to hate-watch me some Heroes S3. The acting in that webisode looked like a sci-movie possible called "Scorpion vs Komodo" or something. Tim Kring should kick his own ass.
Crow3711 by Membir1975	Aug 1st, 2008 10:15:51 AM
Wow, slack-jawed, red neck, mentally defective yokels like you are the reason people fly planes into buildings. Do humanity a favor and go kill yourself....painfully if possible.
Crow3711 by bacci40	Aug 1st, 2008 11:47:40 AM
i believe he was being tongue in cheek...i would like to know why pure web content is covered under the same distribution laws as content made for over the air and then put on the web
Membir1975...oops by bacci40	Aug 1st, 2008 11:49:06 AM
last comment was really for you
I like how the mailman by Bricktops hammer	Aug 1st, 2008 01:18:11 PM
said he's find her "rain or shine". Classicly bad dialogue!!
Missed opportunity in Heroes webisode. by IAmJack'sUserID	Aug 1st, 2008 02:05:12 PM
It was obviously directed/shot by someone who has no clue about dramatic cinematography. About a minute in, when Captain Bigmouth watches his girl leave, the camera should have been behind him as he watches her. She exits with camera focused on her. When she closes the door, the camera rack-focuses on him as he turns to face the camera, to face the idiots banging on his door.
Sounds like a fresh helping of the same old shit. by Smerdyakov	Aug 1st, 2008 03:13:24 PM
Mohinder realizes he has the hidden ability to induce stupidity in OTHERS as well as himself.
Ice Cream! Good Ice Cream! by zacdilone	Aug 1st, 2008 05:52:47 PM
Kevin rocks.
i love the office, just like you, but.. by soup74	Aug 1st, 2008 07:24:07 PM
come on, these are really low ball humor. They not horrible humor, they're just aimed at 16 year olds. The office started off being based in reality, and now kevin is selling ice cream to his wacky co-workers for $10 a pop? kind of taking the slapstick route. we're only giving it a pass because we've grown to like the characters.
Slapstick? by ImperialMarchFace	Aug 1st, 2008 08:29:28 PM
How is Kevin selling ice cream slapstick? It's $10, he tells Stanley it's $10, then Stanley walks away. Nobody dropped their pants or got hit in the balls there, soup74.
uh huh soup74 by magic_ninja	Aug 2nd, 2008 08:31:29 AM
You left out the part where you prefer the UK Office because the humor is more "mature". Jackass.
So soup74 can speak for us all. by IAmJack'sUserID	Aug 2nd, 2008 10:39:02 AM
Thanks for revealing to us our own true feelings. I had no idea I gave the show a pass because we've grown to like the characters. I thought I liked it for other, goofy reasons like HOW FUCKING FUNNY IT IS. Oh well, you learn something new about yourself every day, and that is why I visit the talkbacks on AICN.
Funny stuff with Kevin. by mrfan	Aug 2nd, 2008 02:27:52 PM
Enjoyed these miniepisodes.
That's it? by NudeandAroused	Aug 3rd, 2008 07:50:02 AM
That's all there is? That is kind of bad.
oh i missed the responses by soup74	Aug 3rd, 2008 01:31:52 PM
and im probably too late, to defend myself, but what the hell. first..okay, if you enjoyed them, thats cool, you're right, i shouldn't tell people what they do or dont enjoy (i dont want to be one of THOSE people) that being said, Kevin goes to get a loan to open an ice cream shop, even though he has no idea how to make ice cream? yeah that sounds like a funny premise for a 'thats so raven' or 'zack and cody' episode, not for one of the best sitcoms on TV today. i'm sticking to it. and by the way i prefer the U.S. office over the U.K. ive also noted which talkbacker's opinons i wont be listening to the next time they find something funny.
