I'm jumping on the anti-"Extras" bandwagon a little late. (Jim started the backlash three weeks ago.) The first episode had its moments (looking at the photos) but also had some hoary routines (pretending he knows about Japanese cinema, the "black, white, yellow" comment). What really turned me off was Ben Stiller playing himself. Maybe it's my revulsion at his simian features. (I'm a very shallow person.) Are we supposed to applaud him for portraying himself as an asshole? Although I did like the "Starsky & Hutch" exchange.
