1. That was fun to watch, with the added bonus of seeing clips from tonight’s show. I must admit though, my favorite part was the Seinfeld clip and Tim’s effortless impression of Jerry Seinfeld. I’d love to see Tim in a TV comedy again.

   1. He’d be great at comedy. He always had great comedy timing (and faces!) in White Collar.

      1. Do you know if it’s true that Tim read for the role of Mike Heck, the father on The Middle? I can’t remember where I read that, but Tim would’ve been absolutely perfect in that role! If true, I’m glad he didn’t get it because he couldn’t have done White Collar, but now when I watch The Middle, which is one of my favorite sitcoms, I picture Tim as Mike (although Neil Flynn is great in that role).

         I still wish Tim could do a guest spot on Veep, pair him up again with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss. They worked well together on Seinfeld and on New Adventures of Old Christine.

         1. I have no idea. I’ve never heard this before. I’m glad he picked White Collar though. 😉
            But it’d be fun to see him on a comedy show for a bit.

         2. That is true about The Middle. It was right around the same time as White Collar casting, IIRC. I’m glad things went the way they did, though. I absolutely love Tim as Peter and couldn’t picture anyone else in the role, and the same goes for Neil Flynn as Mike Heck. While I think Tim would have made a decent Mike, Neil has that whole ‘droll dad’ thing down to a science.

            1. One bad thing about Tim not getting The Middle is that The Middle is still going strong, having just been renewed for a season 8. I would love to watch Tim on eight seasons of practically anything.

               But you’re right. These things usually work out the way they’re supposed to and I wouldn’t trade Tim as Peter Burke for any other role in TV land.
