   Wow…The Office beat The Simpsons.

   I don’t know how I feel about this. They are both such excellent shows!

   Kudos to The Office as MSN’s best all time mid-season replacement show! I was one of those snarling naysayers back in 2005 who embraced the perfection of the original Office and cringed at the thought of an American version. That is, until I came upon Diversity Day by accident right when Dwight says, “Shalom, I’d like to apply for a loan.” The next time I found it channel surfing was the beginning of the Hot Girl episode, and from there I was totally hooked and anxiously hoping it wouldn’t be canceled. I’m glad it got good reviews, great support like this site, and a bigger following!

   Too bad about BJ Novak not being able to make the appearance in Seattle. I just got notification of the cancellation from Tickets West. Hope it will be rescheduled, because it was nearly sold out! Well, maybe this summer (hope, hope, hope).

   Re #1 (Andrew), yeah I was a bit stunned that The Simpsons were beat by ANY show, but especially Dawson’s Creek? I’m just thankful The Office out-ranked Dawson.

   #1 and #4 I was a little perplexed with the Simpsons placement, too. I probably would’ve had Simpsons 1 and Office 2. And I’m a HUGE Office fan. The Simpsons has been around for 20 years, though. That’s saying something.

   Then, I realized that it’s really not a big deal. It’s just someone’s opinion. :-)

    Hey, tanster — Now I always say “Cor-not University”, as in “Last week Stanford men’s basketball beat Cor-not in a blow out.” tee hee!

    I don’t think The Office is technically being named the #1 replacement. The list is chronological by year, with The Office being the most recent. Still cool it made the list though!

    Mindy’s already posted again!

    I seriously snorted about half-way through.
