(Last week was a re-run of the series hilarious Racial Sensitivity episode.)
Its got the bite and satire ofThe Officematched with the whimsy of ABCs now-defunctPushing Daisies.
Its also got one dashing star: Jay Harrington.
Oh, and if you havent already, start watching, will ya?!
It was the first thing that I read that was so different with the show breaking the fourth wall.
It was an exciting confusion, not necessarily to do with the character of Ted.
Weallwerent sure going into it what to expect.
How would you describe Ted?
He seems like a smart guy whos more than a little naive?I think he is.
But he somehow found himself in a conservative right-wing world.
And being a single dad helps motivate his decisions.
What does Ted, uh,doat Veridian Dynamics, exactly?
[Laughs] Well, you know, he runs a team.
I always joke with friends of mine in the corporate world.
Im like, what do you do?
At lot of my friends always talk about how they have conference calls, whatever the hell that means!
But Ted more or less runs the team.
Hes got the scientists, hes got accounting, hes sort of a VP among VPs.
Did you connect to the show in a similar way?Absolutely.
Ive had part-time jobs, not all of them in restaurants or bars.
I worked in Boston for a spell and got on the train and Dunkin Donuts every morning.
You find ways to act out.
I have a friend who worked at a huge consulting firm and they have many floors.
He had keys to a closet on a floor above him that he could take a nap in.
When anyone ever asked where he was, he could say he was on the eighth floor.
He was always accountable, because how would they know?
Weve got six new episodes coming up.
I think when we left she was dating a guy.
That goes away, because of our feelings for each other.
What about the other characters?
So we find a side-job/second-life Veronica has been living, and its really funny.
But its actually a medieval fight club.
Ted gets involved because his daughters away, so he goes down to blow off to steam.
You have to start as a knave and work your way up to knighthood.
People who havent watched yet havent missed too much, right?
Why should they start watching now?They can start right now.
They havent missed to much in terms of back story, and its an inherently inviting show.
With the show breaking the fourth wall, youre invited right in.
Im talking right to you.
Theres something inviting and comforting about that.
