Ricky Gervais is a mega-genius. Best Buy has season one of Extras on sale, will probably go pick that up.

Yeah I have the first 2 Seasons of Extras; just a fantastic show. Did they make a third season? No HBO up here in Canada, so can't see if it is on, but I could have sworn I saw a glimpse of something when I was watching TV in SF recently.

Negative on a third season. He likes to quit before the show starts to suck. There was a 90 minute series finale a couple weeks ago. It comes with the gift set being released next month. Not sure if you can buy it separately.

Ahh, good stuff, thanks for the link. So he did it pretty much exactly the same way as the Office; leave them wanting more!

I watched an episode a long time ago and didn't enjoy it. I didn't like the camera, the way they kept looking at the camera, and a few other things.
It is now one of my top five favorite shows.
I grew to love it I guess!
