...Unlike Fox's real-time thriller 24, whose pace is quickened by several intersecting stories (and which neither Hall nor Louis-Dreyfus has seen yet), Ellie feels a little slow, and the dearth of standard sitcom jokes makes it seem less funny than you might expect. Much of its humor is physical comedy, since watching someone in real time means devoting a lot of time to watching Ellie walk, get dressed and generally run around. The format also encourages the writers to develop more subtle characters. "It's an intimate way of getting to know a person. There...
...fears, however, were overblown. For the most part, Europeans greeted the launch with good humor and even civic-mindedness.

Like Leary and Miller, Carlin makes a buck lashing out at all the stupid people in the world. Unfortunately, in his aptly-named latest album, Complaints and Grievances, he steps a little off course...
...great. We met on Freaks and Geeks, so there was already a common ground in our sensibility. I love his voice, I love his writing, his sense of humor. I’m just a huge Mike White fan. I love Chuck and Buck, it was fantastic...
