On The Office, Creed was an extra. He didn't have a speaking role at first. He was just supposed to be someone in the background. The original plan was that they would have two of these people and then Michael would fire one of them. They wanted to actually see both actors in the background before that episode as a cool little easter egg for the fans. As the firing episode grew closer, the director walked up to Mindy and Creed and said "I think we need a line of dialog here" and Creed immediately responded "I'll do it." Mindy shot him a look because hes not supposed to talk but didn't say anything to the director. They shot it and it ended up in the episode. This is the reason why Creed never got fired.

I watched it for awhile. I had to stop when Wei Chan Will Yun Lee shows up as a former cop / new doctor. He keeps saying he used to be a cop and it pulls me out every time. Its not the actors fault, he just starred in one of the best open world games ever made. Maybe if he didn't say it so often it wouldn't bother me, but its practically how he starts conversations.

Xbox (and I think it's on PC now too) has quick resume, Playstation doesn't. It saves five different game snapshots on the hard drive so you can load exactly where you stopped in a matter of seconds. No menu or logos or loading screens. It's the greatest thing and you can hot swap games at will.

Fun Fact : After Steve Carrell was forced out of The Office, NBC approached James Gandolfini too take over as lead. HBO found out about the offer and paid James three million dollars not to do it. They didn't want the legacy of Sopranos to be tainted by him appearing in a comedy.

Still remember that scene where the main guy went to the fruit store and it looked like a fucking Apple store. That shit was crazy. Here in Kansas we just get fruit from the grocery store. Its kinda nuts that you have specialty fruit stores in Tokyo that sell really pretty and expensive fruit. I wonder if that would even fly here in Kansas?

That show is built for streaming. The thing is Season 1 is pretty realistic and not very high budget. Jack spends more time running away from situations rather than shooting his way out of situations. Season 2 he becomes the man we all love, the guy that will literally kill you if you get in his way.

This is actually sort of a good thing. They decided to condense the episodes in order to make the show feel more cinematic like the films. Doing action on the level that's expected for this is very fucking expensive. So making three expensive episodes is just way better than 9 cheap ass quick cut boring ass episodes.

James Marsters said when they approached him for Angel the amount of money he asked for significantly drained the budget. Which is apparently why the vast majority of Season 5 was shot on one set in daytime. As a fan of that show, I gotta say I never even noticed that transition at all. It made perfect since that Angel sold his soul to work for the evil law firm. I really liked that season.

Bobbi Morse/Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) both left Agents of Shield for a spinoff show called "Marvel’s Most Wanted". After they officially got rid of the characters and shot the pilot the head of ABC said "This show will never see the light of day" and killed it. They both came back to Agents of Shield for a few episodes. It really was unfortunate because both characters were great.
