I'll be watching without question, Ben Stiller is the guest tonight.
But I promise you, without doubt, it's going to get slammed both here and in reviews because of The Office.
I love The Office and I'll happily say so, but I've spoken to a couple of people and there's already a backlash towards it and, without having seen an episode, of Extras.
People seem to resent somebody being succesfull, plus they think it gives them some kind of non-existent "net cool" to be one of those "Yeah, I prefered their early stuff" kind of people.
I asked them how they can rubbish Extras before they've even seen a single episode?
"Oh I've seen Gervais interviewed and he's turned into such an ego monster, he thinks he's really funny and he's not"
Fair enough, each to their own but I'll be watching tonight.
It might be good, it might be bad. It won't be The Office and that's enough for me.

Apparently it's treading familiar ground.
Comedy dates fast: This time 10 years ago we were watching Harry Enfield.
I like the man, I find him funny, and I'll certainly give Extras a chance.
If it's crap, so be it, but I don't see the point in writing it off without seeing it. I reserve that right for Robin Williams movies.
I'll watch this though, it's completely different to The Office/Animals(?)/11 O Clock Show, and reserve my judgement.
Oh, and he was the best thing on 11 O Clock Show by default, thanks to Iain Lee, McKenzie Crook, Ali "I Wasn't Funny Until I Got Me On Show" G, and that horrible, horrible bint who I can't remember the name of. Daisy someone I don't care.
Going to watch it with a small group at a mates house tonight, should be cool.
> Thankfully I haven't seen any

I have, and it increased my anticipation for the show even more.
The 'Brent-isms' are there, but it still looks absolutely fantastic. I loved the Office and I can see myself liking this as well.
"Been in Casualty?"
- "Yep"
"The TV series?"
