For Your Two-Minute Consideration

According to Malcolm Gladwell's book, 'Blink', snap judgments are often more reliable than well-considered insights. So, with the Emmys just a couple of days away, you don't have time to watch several episodes of all of the nominated shows for Best Comedy Series. So, AOL has decided to offer up a handful of clips that should be good enough for you to B.S. your way through the night. Here are the nominees.

Many fans of the BBC version of the 'The Office' gave it little hope for an American translation. What do those limey lovers know? America makes every British sitcom better, such as 'Sanford and Son', 'Three's Company' and 'Coupling'. Okay, one out of three ain't bad. Now take a look at Dwight's speech, bringing Mussolini style to a sales meeting.

With Zach Braff leaving 'Scrubs' after this season, it may be the shows last chance to polish off an Emmy. Although plenty of brilliant shows have gone on without their leading man such as 'That '70s Show' and 'After-M.A.S.H.' Here's a 'Scrubs'outtake.

Here's everyone's favorite show that no one watched:'Arrested Development.' Wasn't some channel supposed to pick this up? Anyone? Anyone?

While we'd love to point you to an illegally posted clip of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' it turns out that AOL and HBO are owned by the same company. Who knew? Yet they don't share the same lawyers. Go figure. So enjoy a few episodes recaps, and buy the freakin' DVD, you little bootlegger.

Finally,'Two and a Half Men.'If you can't decide between the sitcoms you really think should win when everyone is asking for your prediction, just cynically mutter: Ah, they'll probably pick 'Two and a Half Men.' Works every time.
