    8:05 It's true. Bob Odenkirk would have made this show unwatchable. But Better Call Saul is probably the most compelling series I've ever seen for a number of reasons, most importantly that it focuses on his character. I'm so glad my Godmother let me watch Better Call Saul when I was staying there. And I'm so glad they got their happy ending, and I know saying that isn't a spoiler for anyone because they don't know what a happy ending is.

    The Office was filmed over 20 years ago. Why is there no extended footage for the rest of the seasons still?

    The deleted Koi Pond episode's Halloween-themed cold open that only ever aired on TV when it released was my favorite cold open, I wish it was on my blu-rays

    I had to wear a coat, hat, and gloves while watching these cold opens.

    I like how Dwight is only a little reluctant to say "give me the steam" when he fails the call-response passphrase.
    He's principled and doesn't hold himself above his own rules.
    (Even if he does soon break and demand to be let out from the steam lol)

    Toby finding out he stole the spotlight from Micheal’s fundaMENTALs and he just stands up the second everyone has a positive reaction to it. Ready to leave before Micheal even turns around. Is so funny too me
