And how about a round of applause for those perfectly average dik diks, whose performances have been described as "creatively utilitarian" and "satisfying for their workmanlike effort and industrious good nature"?

The Office (U.S.) and Arrested Development. Although I did both using full-series DVDs. Old school, as the kids don't say.
