A question for the Wizard about the Monty Hall paradox.

With the risk of turning this into an Office thread, I'd say the 2nd and 3rd seasons were the most consistantly good, but my favorite episode was the one that aired after the Super Bowl. But the Secret Santa one has a special place in my heart, because it was the first one I saw when I knew I loved the show.

In "Casino Night", there were a couple of casino errors I noticed, one blatant, the other less so. Anyone who's a fan of the show notice them? It's surprising for a show that has about as much respect for continuity and accuracy as I've seen in some time.

Sorry to contribute to this getting off topic, but I love The Office. That and Lost are the only two fictional shows I watch. Any real casino night is bound to have lots of errors anyway. One error I recall is when Toby put Michael all in before the flop. With any cards, Michael could still have won. However, the dealer gave Toby the pot without ever even doing a flop.

I am in the exact same boat as you. I was just telling someone how Lost and The Office are my only two "must watch" shows at present. I like to have sports on most of the time because you can get other work done while that's on!

Yes, the Michael All-in was sloppy on their part, and that was the big error that always makes me mad when I watch that episode. There was also a scene with Michael at the Craps table where he didn't make his point, but didn't roll a Seven, and everyone was all dejected as if they lost...when in fact, they just didn't resolve the bet yet.

Great minds think alike! I should have added Curb Your Enthusiasm to the list, but I dropped HBO from my cable service, so have lost touch with the show. Eventually the latest season will appear on Netflix.

Good catch on the craps game, I never noticed that. Lost is a great show. I think the seasons 4 and 5 were too rushed, and at times confusing, but still well worth watching. The episode last night I thought was the best so far of season 6. However, if they have a Sopranos type ending, I'm going to be raging mad, and I don't think I'll be the only one.

Well, if we're allowed to drift off topic... my favorite shows ...

#1 Family Guy
#2 The Office
#3 30 Rock

Both Dexter and Curb you Enthusiasm would be on my list if I got those channels. I have "basic basic cable," which means that you can't get fewer channels and still be a cable subscriber.
