Was surprised it was a remake. But it was a great remake. Paul Rudd was underused though.

That was made of win. Who knew a remake of Simon and Simon would be so awesome. Now I'm stoked for the series.

That's just a masterpiece of straight-faced parody of show business taking itself preposterously seriously (as it does -- good for Probst for knowing that he's a prime example), and of all these behind-the-scenes features that are supposed to blow our minds with the inside information. And all as if remaking one minute of 1980s credits were an artistic goal worthy of Orson Welles.

Alan Sepinwall makes the Greatest Event available, as well as the original credits for comparison. And a link to a semi-synced pairing of the two.

Adam Scott did a lot of promotion of this event on Twitter, and I am happy to say he did not over promise. Made my night!

That was fun!

I now need to find some old episodes.
Ahh, nostalgia...

"Jon Hamm. Died. That night."

That was fantastic.

Loved the green moustache!

Aww, I was a huge fan of the show back in the day.

That was all sorts of awesome. I loved Adam Scott trying to introduce himself to John Hamm. "Don't talk to me!"

This Page shows the video of the program as well as the original S&S opening so you can decide for yourself if they achieved greatness

eta: Just noticed this is the same link as Rinaldo posted. D'oh!

I can't remember the last time I saw anything so simultaneously stupid and brilliant at the same time. I feel the world is a little better place for Adam Scott, Jon Hamm, and Paul Rudd being friends.

That was just made of win. How is there not an IMDB page for this yet? Kathryn Hahn was an unexpected treat, for sure.

This show wasted 15 minutes of my time to beat a single joke into the ground.

[bulldawgtownie]

I disagree that there was just one joke, there was one premise but there were many jokes concerning that premise.
