DVD recommendations
For fans of The Office (US), check out Undeclared. By Judd Apatow, who did Freaks and Geeks and The Forty-Year-Old Virgin, it’s a sitcom about a group of kids in their first year of college. The first few episodes have guest spots by Jenna Fisher and Amy Poehler. It’s funny in the same cringe-inducing, mouth agape way that The Office is. And Loudon Wainwright III is hilarious as Steven’s dad.
Feeling stressed or blue? Feeling like Hugh Laurie on House is just too mean? Then check out Jeeves and Wooster on DVD. The episodes are funny without being cruel, and are good restoratives for the soul. I found both the DVDs and short stories by Wodehouse recommended at Mental Multivitamin, and they’ve been happy additions to my life.
