Most readers know the disdain I share/hold/spew for the clunky American version of The Office, preferring the original UK version instead. So from Nerd Litter comes The Thick of It, a show that picks up on that same dry Ricky Gervais-like tone, only taking place in the world of politics and government. There may be a little too much handheld feel to the camera work, but it’s a small complaint. Speaking of, with all the complaints about Mad Men, I wonder how it would’ve been received had it taken this type of mocumentary approach with its off-the-cuff shooting style, similar to The Larry Sanders Show, (still the funniest show HBO ever did).Tags: The Thick of It

Sad but true... Chris Langham (the guy in your pic) is in trouble for child molestation.

Yikes Fish. Had to change the pic. Couldn't have that vibe hanging over the post.
