	U-San Bernardino County Sun - TV (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Given how empirically pathetic Alan Partridge is, he must be given credit, one supposes, for succeeding just long enough to be deemed a has-been rather than a never-was.
		He's stranded in the graveyard shift at a dinky radio station by night and irking the staff of a roadside businessman's motel by day (one employee, amusingly played by Sally Phillips, laughs openly, frequently and witheringly at him), with only his bewilderingly loyal personal assistant Lynn (Felicity Montagu) to defend what honor he has remaining.
		Unlike "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "I'm Alan Partridge" is a regular situation comedy, though one, like "The Office," that regularly finds its protagonist in wincingly humiliating situations, including a terribly awkward date with a receptionist at his production company whom he neglects to tell that he has just shuttered her place of employment.
