Big week for State fans! The show's complete series finally came out on DVD on Tuesday (mine's stuck in Delaware, because Amazon hates me, apparently), and Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black celebrated never having to deal with whiny "When is The State DVD happening?!" questions ever again by premiering their new show, Michael and Michael Have Issues, on Comedy Central last night. And it was really funny! Let's talk about it.

Widely known fact: "The College Years" is essentially the kiss of death for any teen dramedy. One character heads off to some prestigious university (cough Jessie Spano cough) and relinquishes her rights on hot male lead to a less interesting substitute (cough Alex Taber cough) and it all goes downhill from there.

Widely held opinion: A Web series is not a real show, for if it were worth watching, it would be on television. Case in point: Rockville, CA. (Josh Schwartz, I expect better of you.)

And so, out of these two sad, disrespected genres comes Dorm Life, a lesser-known gem from the good folks over at AttentionSpan.TV.

I couldn't actually bring myself to watch the People's Choice Awards last night. There is only so much Adam Sandler a girl can take and the incessant commercials for Bedtime Stories have more than fulfilled my quota for the year. Any award show that even has Worst Week in the running for Best New Comedy is no good in my book. I don't care if there weren't that many to choose from this year. Gary Unmarried won, if you care... which I don't. Besides, I was too busy distracting myself with the horror show that was 13: Fear Is Real, which in retrospect was probably worse than sitting through a few minutes of Adam Sandler schtick.

I have to admit that I wasn't so jazzed for the new batch of webisodes for Battlestar Galactica. Usually I have a hard time getting engaged in this show, when it is dispensed in three minute segments. However, I do adore Grace Park, so I gave it a whirl, and so far, so good. The first installment of "The Face of the Enemy" went up today. (You can watch it here.) Nine days after the finale when we saw the destroyed planet Earth, Gaeta's in a raptor, covered in blood, and we're given a little bit of a preview of what's to come in the rest of the nine parts of this webisode series. Needles, knives, chaos. Looks good.

Neil Patrick Harris singing about anything is pretty much all it takes to make me happy (see my summer ramblings about Dr. Horrible). We don't lovingly refer to NPH as our patron saint around the office for nothing. He does magic, he can sing, he's Barney, he used to play a doctor on TV. Just all around awesome. So of course I was going to love the latest offering from Funny or Die. They had the amazing Marc Shaiman (he wrote all of those infectiously addictive songs for Hairspray) cook up a special musical number about the Prop 8 controversy. It's a joyful and silly star-studded affair and has succeeded in finally getting me out of my funk.

As I slowly emerge from my-post Thanksgiving day coma and start poking around to see what wonders the interwebs has come up with while I've been off spending time with my family, I discover a Turkey Day treat that I somehow overlooked. So enjoy this little 30 Rock leftover morsel. It's a webisode of how Kenneth the Page spent his holiday reflecting on how two very differently dressed groups of people coming together all those years ago inspired him to put aside his on-going prank feud with Dougie from props. There's even a little bit of gymnastics humor thrown in, though it should be noted that he does take St. Brett Favre's name in vain, which may offend some people's religious sensibilities, depending on which sort of god you worship.

So after watching the trailer for the last half of the (final) season of Battlestar Galactica, I'm starting an official countdown to the January 16 premiere. That's 51 more days of not-so patiently waiting. It looks really good. I know these jump cuts with snippets of dialogue make it a bit hard to tell what the hell is going on, but when Saul whispers "There must be some kind of way out of here" and they start playing the Watchtower/Cylon theme, I got giddy goosebumps.

There're more Office webisodes available... to keep you busy at work. It's a short series of four two-minute segments (they sent us a preview copy so I already watched all of it...) doled out every Thursday. Basically, Oscar has a screaming cell-phone conversation and gets all angry at someone. The rest of the gang (aside from Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight and Ryan) get all excited and try and figure out what caused the irate outburst. Is Oscar having man troubles? There's a betting pool going on about it.

So while I did spend 45 minutes of my life watching this week's episode of Heroes (and it was actually kind of OK... surprisingly) I just discovered the two-minute recaps that NBC makes for their shows. This is hands down the best way I can think of to watch this show. It's all of the story and plot, most of the special effects with none of the Claire whining or Maya annoyingness! Given my recent disenchantment with the series, I think between this and our recaps, I may never need to watch this show again.

Since I've been stuck watching the same three episodes of The Office on my iPod since NBC and iTunes squabbled about money and NBC's shows were removed a while back, I'm pretty excited about the news that the NBC shows will finally be available for me to spend my hard earned cash on again via iTunes. I know... there are probably some smart people out there who know how to take the episodes off of a DVD and put them up there, but I just don't have that kind of patience. I like to plug in my iPod, download and then sit on the bus re-watching episodes of my favorite comedies and annoying all the people on the bus who usually annoy me by talking loudly on their cell phones. It's really a fair trade.
