   Both are too skinny and too flat for my tastes...so they need to stick to the   
   tech...   
      
   Plus that whole grungy thing with the one character added into the whole too   
   skinny too flat just starts to repulse... The cleaned up for COMDEX scene was   
   a vast improvement, but too skinny too flat.   
      
   The addition of AnnaBeth Gish helps...although she seems to be done....   
      
      
    DW> Yeah, I found the first and third seasons to be more interesting than the

    DW> competitor was interesting to me.   
      
   I've worked on all sorts of stuff from PDP8e various other IBM & DEC big   
   iron... I was part of a group that pretty much had the run of ALCOA's IT   
   department and we had all kinds of fun... :)   
      
   And from there forward to the various PC boxes of today... Other than crapple,   
   never touched it much, thought the II was hype then, and it just continued.   
      
    DW> Sorry to hear that. I really liked that series.   
      
   I don't know that it is officially dead.. but I know there was a good deal of   
   work being done to get it go forward.   
      
    DW> It is an office comedy, but it is not an "Office" clone in that it is   
    DW> lacking   
    DW> the mockumentary angle. It reminded me more of office shows like "WKRP in   
    DW> Cincinnati" than the UK or US versions of "The Office."   
      
   It got billed as an "Office" like show, and that was pretty much the killer   
   for me... I checked it out, seemed to fit in to that whole "office"-y thing..   
   so bye bye... I don't think it fit to WKRP standards, as that would be an   
   improvement! Sad that show is trapped in royalty BS hell now... :( :(
