The Obvious Choice to Replace Steve Carell

Since Steve Carell announced he would be leaving The Office following this, the seventh season, there has been tremendous speculation as to who would replace him. Would it be someone already on the show, like Ed Helms, Craig Robinson, or Rainn Wilson? Would a past sitcom star, such as Will Arnett or Matthew Perry, take over? Others suggested the man who created the show in England, Ricky Gervais. Almost certainly, someone somewhere wrote that Rob Lowe was in discussions to join the cast. And just last week, Will Ferrell stated he was joining full time, although both Robinson and Wilson publicly doubted this.

But the one, obvious choice has never been discussed. The comedian America loves the most could easily fill the shoes of Michael Scott.

And now he's available.

He has name recognition.

He has sitcom history, with guest spots including 'Til Death, Becker, and Married...with Children.

He's been in some of America's most beloved films, including Aladdin, Aladdin: The Return of Jafar, and Aladdin and the King of Thieves.

And he has what matters most for an NBC sitcom star, a history at SNL.

It's time to bring Gilbert Gottfried to Scranton.

More Mad Men. Ugh.

So they reached a deal to bring Mad Men back.

There's a reason why they didn't want to give into Matt Weiner's ludicrous demands.

Nobody watches the show.

Sure, it wins Emmy Awards. You know what else wins Emmy Awards? Neither do I. Who cares?

The show is out of date. Where are the vampires? Why don't they sing?

Seriously, who watches this garbage?

A Random Look at Theme Songs: Lost

This is part of an occasional look at TV theme songs. I like TV theme songs. I have almost 300 on my iPod. So every now and then, I'll do a post on them.

Presumably the most popular part of the hit ABC series Lost was it's intricate and thorough theme song.

It is hard to say if any show has ever thoroughly encapsulated the entire series into the weekly intro as well as Lost.

The tune is catchy. The lyrics get stuck in your head. And, even for a show filmed in Hawaii, the images are stunning. Imagine seeing that in HD. Breathtaking.

There is little more that can be said about the theme to Lost. Perhaps the greatest thing to ever air on broadcast television.
