I can see the thing about need to be liked in the pilot....but it is so un-ridiculous (a la Michael Scott) that I never felt any connection. (nm) - musubi Apr 29, 09:29 13

  - Someone needs to go back and especially watch the first three or four eps. They've toned it down, but I promise... - Name Withheld By Request Apr 29, 09:41 10
    - I've watched them numerous times. I just disagree. - Callisto Apr 29, 09:43 7
      - 100% agreed. (nm) - musubi Apr 29, 09:48
      - I agree that the level is different, but it's along the same continuum. -- nm - The Human Danopede Apr 29, 09:46 5
        
        the "doing stuff that they think is cool but isn't really" continuum, yeah. - Callisto Apr 29, 09:47 4
        
        Submitted not as definitive proof, but as general evidence to the contrary..... -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Apr 29, 09:48 2
        
        That's people trying to peg his character into a type. Phil is much closer to Bryan Cranston's dad on Malcolm than to Michael Scott, imo. (nm) - musubi Apr 29, 09:51 1
        
        Actually thinking about it, that doesn't really work either. - musubi Apr 29, 09:56
        
        (like using the word "cool" for example) - Callisto Apr 29, 09:47
    - Ah-HA! -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 29, 09:43
    - All of that trying to be hip with the kids, "Why the face?," etc. is right out of the Michael Scott playbook. -- nm - The Human Danopede Apr 29, 09:43
- Yeah, Phil's a gajillion times more real than Michael. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 09:30
