SALT LAKE CITY — If you’ve bowed out of the day's festivities and want to eat your green popcorn at home with your Netflix subscription, here’s a great way to kill a few hours in the company of some sitcom St. Paddy’s fun. Erin Go Binge!
The Office:
'St. Patrick’s Day,' Season 6, Episode 19
St. Patrick’s Day is a Big. Deal. In Scranton. Everybody wears green! Andy and Erin have plans for a date, Meredith is blissed out, and the whole office is excited to get out and party. But, of course, they have to stay late, thanks to a visit from corporate (guest star Kathy Bates).
The only person who doesn’t much mind is Angela, who wants to protest St. Patrick’s Day. Gross.
30 Rock:
'St. Patrick’s Day' Season 6, Episode 11
Liz Lemon, on the other hand, has no patience for the Irish holiday. Jack thinks she needs to learn to appreciate it, since she has demonstrated fondness for the Irish in the past … especially her ex Dennis Duffy. Who — surprise! —shows up to crash her head-to-toe orange, St. Paddy’s free day.
Also, Tracy and Jenna fight over top billing.
How I Met Your Mother:
'No Tomorrow,' Season 3, Episode 12
Ted and Barney find themselves getting a lot of what they want at the club on St. Patrick’s Day, with very few consequences. How awesome for them! Until Ted realizes he needs to grow up and stick with his plans to stay home and have some green tea next year.
Meanwhile, Robin joins Marshall and Lily in their new apartment, which as it turns out is the perfect place to play Skateboard Apartment Luge.
Fun bonus: Look for a cameo from now-Vine-star Arielle Vandenberg as Mary.
