{television} extras; season one (2005)

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant -- creators of the award-winning BBC series "The Office" -- introduce yet another memorable character: full-time movie extra Andy Millman (Gervais), who's quit his former day job to become an actor. Insisting that most of Hollywood's A-listers are "just lucky," Millman spends his days hanging around the set with best friend Maggie (Ashley Jensen), desperately stroking egos to score his next big break: dialogue.

ifreethought.com rating: ** (Actually 2.5) There's something about this show that I just can't seem to get fully into and really enjoy. I love The Office, but this show, just doesn't totally work for me. It's all right, but just as a time killer. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it
