Wow, I almost posted this to my HOA's blog....that wouldn't have been good...damn HOA president authorship permission.
He's a good character. I like that everyone except for Tracy Jordan pronounces the 'ce' in spaceman to sound like 'che', as one does in Italian. Thank goodness for credentials, otherwise how would we know to trust a doctor.
Since we architects work with a lot of consultants on a project, and often have to coordinate the ensemble of them and their systems, I think that that comedic concept would be fantastic applied to a consultant or consulting engineer. The comedy: this consultant has been hired to give their qualified(?) expertise on a very specific area of interest (acoustics, water fountains, adobe), but occasionally says things that seem very off. Things that make you think they don't know what the hell they're talking about. And you'd just build more comedic layers from there.
I also thought the other day that there's a small trend in television comedies that play off of common stereotypes regarding certain institutions and have an ensemble of silly people that play off of that: Community (i.e. community college), Parks and Recreation and of course The Office. So in the spirit of that trend, and in honor of the silliness I've been through lately, I offer this idea for stealing (come and get it all you TV producers):
The Board: Life and Times of Zilker Condominiums
More to come....
