Is anyone familiar with the NBC TV series Heroes or The Office?
Which one is your favorite?
Any comments about them?

Haven't seen either of them. I don't have a TV, nor the time to watch it.

Ahh, they're both awesome!
I just recently started to watch Heroes. It has a lot of science fiction/action in it.
The Office is just very hilariously funny.
But that's about the only stuff I watch on TV.

Actually both are pretty decent. 'Heroes' is much more of 'save the day' stuff while 'The Office' is pretty funny. Considering that I have seen only one episode of both of them, I might be wrong.

I've watched all 3 seasons of The Office, they get better when you start to get into the storyline. (not that there's much of that.. but still...)
And Heroes gets really confusing, but has a great storyline.
I think you get addicted to both of these shows after you begin to watch them. I would recommend either of them to anyone who is bored. =p

Sigh, I wish Developers could afford to get bored... ;-) But considering that the rating of Heroes has really gone up, beating even the famous 'LOST', I am pretty sure it must be having some interesting elements.

none of the above?
I don't watch TV much anymore either. If I do, I just pop in a DVD instead.

sigh* that was a tough one ;p
i am only 12 eps into heroes and i would hate to turn my back on the office after 3 seasons. Heroes is slowly gaining ground though... I would say it's slightly more addicting than the office thus far.
good poll

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

If you like the Office I suggest you seek out the original BBC ones, the american one is pretty good but the original will make you cringe so much you hurt.
