Comcast purchases NBC.

Its a little known fact that NBC has become one of my favorite channels in recent years. NBC is responsible for some of my favorite shows; The Office, Parks and Recreation, Community, and launched another favorite show, Scrubs (which moved to ABC 2 years ago).

So I have to wonder what Comcast's purchase of NBC is going to do to my favorite programs. As pointed out elsewhere, Comcast previously owned: G4, Versus, the Golf Channel, E Entertainment, the Style Network, and FEARnet, as well as a lot of regional sports channels. With the purchase of NBC Network, that list of channels will now include: USA, SyFy, Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC, the NBC network and Universal Studios.

Now with Comcast owning the Sunday Night Football rights that air on NBC and the broadcasting the rights for the UFL on Versus, could this be the death of the UFL? We know NBC has been burned in the past with the smaller football ventures. Or does UFL become either an exclusive property for either Versus or HDNet?

I guess we'll hurry up and wait.

The Office Season 5

Why am I so excited about the Office Season 5. Because it was awesome!!! Michael Scott Paper Company, The interactions between Jim and Charles, the big news at the the company picnic party, Michael dealing with his breakup with Holly.

So many gringe worthy moments were in this season that I can easily say that this show has only gotten better since the first day. If you don't find the Office hilarious, you just don't have a sense of humor. Season 5 is out on DVD now and Season 6 starts Sept. 17th 2009. I've got my DVR fired up and looking forward to another season of laughs.
