Office Business

[By-tor]

Just wanted to start a thread about "The Office". I know it's been mentioned on the Earl thread, but I think it deserves it's own space. Freakin' hilarious. The dead-pans at the camera are classic. I just watched a few episodes that I had Tivoed. I missed the first half of the season, for which I should be flogged. If you haven't caught a show, try it once. Carell has it goin' on this last year. If he doesn't get typecast in all his roles, he could be the "next big thing". Crap, I gotta pop in the 40 Year Old Virgin DVD I haven't gotten around to watching. Anywho, what thinks you about "The Office"?

i prefer the original.

[By-tor]

i prefer the original.Fair enough. Apparently, there are quite a few in your camp. How many episodes of the US version have you watched? Have you given it a chance? I didn't catch on 'til just lately. I'll definitely try to check out the UK version on BBC, when it pops up. Until then Dwight rules. :)

[phit_demon]

I'm definitely in the "original version" camp, mostly because I'm a huge fan of Ricky Gervais (his new show "Extras" is amazing).
I saw the american pilot and it just made me cringe.
It was pretty much word-for-word identical to the original one, and the cast were just not as good. I really do think that if anyone watched the original, start to finish, they wouldn't bother with the new one.

yes, i gave a chance. a lot of the british to american shows i hated. the humor just isn't the same. like coupling, they ruined that one. touching evil was the only one i could tolerate. and that got canceled.

Does anybody know if the UK show is running on BBC or PBS? And when?

THE AMERICAN OFFICE RULES!!! (no i havent seen the uk version) steve carrell is awesome. i just bought the season 1 dvd and its great and havent missed an episode of the second season. the show is awesome.

by the way has anybody heard anything about steve carrell's new movie "little miss sunshine" i read the review from the sundance film festival. but wondering if any of you movie insiders know when exactly its coming to theatre. :cool:

[Dave]

Well, we had another winner last night. I missed the very end of it, but Michaels 'presentation' was great. A Michael Scott Joint, HA!! Poor Pam, all she really wanted was a valentine card from Jim, but didn't get it. Dwight continues to have the weirdest relationship ever (i missed what he got that blonde, if anything, what was it?) Other bits i loved (Naked Drunk lady passed out at her desk. blackheaded intern guy trying to avoid the talkative Indian chick. and the Bobblehead.

[By-tor]

Hey, I asked Ming to move this thread over to the "Television" forum. I posted it with the same heading. But, damn Dave, that might have been the best episode I've seen. Pam watching all the Valentines gifts coming in was pricless. I still think some of the best parts of the show are when the actors look at the camera when something crazy goes down.

[Dave]

Yeah, i figured by bumping it up to the front here, i'd be easier for him to find. I too love the looks the cast give the camera. so how 'bout answering my question up there. Did Dwight ever get Blondie a V'day Gift?

Oh, and i forgot about Michael getting a "NY Slice", classic.

[bwdial]

To our British poopers, I understand why y'all like yours the best, but there are little American things in ours that make it funny to us. Michael Scott is my old boss in a nutshell.
Pam dropping Phyllis' candy on her desk was priceless.
Dwight gave her a key to his crib.

[Dave]

What was Angela's reaction to that?!?!

[bwdial]

What was Angela's reaction to that?!?!

A WTF? look when she saw a key, that turned into a sly grin.
Oh yeah...Dwight and Angela are on like Donkey Kong.

[Dave]

Well she is in the "most healthy relationship of her life". I can only imagine what kind of fucked up shit relationships she's been a part of.

Also i think Jim is going to regret inviting Chatty Cathy over for his poker party...

I know. It's really kind of creepy watching their courtship ritual.
I know Jim is going to regret it. Hell, he regretted the moment the invite flew out of his cake hole.
God I love The Office.

[phit_demon]

To our British poopers, I understand why y'all like yours the best, but there are little American things in ours that make it funny to us.
That's understandable, but still...if you haven't watched the original I strongly urge that you do. The "looks to camera" and akward scenarios etc., are just to die for. And I'm sorry, but Steve Carell is not even in the same league as Ricky Gervais. I mean, Ricky wrote it as well as starred in it, and he is infinitely funnier and more subtle than Steve.
Please, please, PLEEEEEASE people, watch the original if you love the other one so much. You won't regret it!

Btw, I know you weren't specifically referring to me, but I gotta state that I ain't brittish. My celtic heritage just won't let me associate with Limeys.;)

Reading the entire thread would be a hassle, so I'm just gonna start here.

You should really make an effort to see all the British shows. And for God's sake, watch it in order, man. Unlike an American season, which has 22 episodes, the Brits get like 6-9 episodes a season (with Coupling and Office, anyway), so the order in which you watch it matters. And believe me, the British office has the bets ending to any sitcom ever. And yes, I'm including the end of Arrested Development.

So while I prefer the British version, the American one has surprised me. I still prefer Tim to Jim, David to Michael, Gareth to Dwight, Keith to Kevin, and Dawn to Pam, but the American one makes me laugh on a regular basis, which is all I ask.

"Ex-squeeze me" instead of "excuse me," I say that.



(but that's from the British show, so you missed out on that. . . )

[phit_demon]

To anyone who is a fan of the original as well as the NBC version, this (http://www.rickygervais.com/nbcoffice.php) may be of interest.

[Dave]

I sort of think it would be cool to have a sort of bizarro cross-over between the two shows, where ricky and Steve meet up at some convention or something.

The More You Know! (http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/video/sub_122.shtml)

PSAs from the cast of the Office. They are good, check them out.

[By-tor]

A doob found in the parking lot, and Dwight might be one of the funniest characters on TV. Great freakin' episode.

[FanGirl]

I've managed to never see an episode of the Office - either of them. So the other night I turn it on and I see the guy playing Dwight. I about leaped off my couch. He directed the New Bozena. I met and talked to him about 6 years ago.

New Bozena was a play that featured 3 insanely funny clowns. He and the three clowns studied with Gates McFadden at a clown school of sorts. Yes, Gates McFadden from Star Trek. She's a classically trained clown and dancer. The pic I have from that night has just the clowns. The director didn't want to be in the pic. Dammit. If I had only known then.

I've was happy he was in Galaxy Quest and Almost Famous. I never knew he was in this series.

[Dave]

Baah, i missed it again!!!!! dammit.

[FanGirl]

TIVO. "Don't leave home without it...being on and taping your shows." That should be their tag line.

[Dave]

You kids and your new fangled VCRs. In my day, we had to put a tape in the machine, set the clock and start/end time for 5 minutes pre/post roll on the program we wanted to watch, and WE LIKED IT!!!!

[FanGirl]

In my day before VCR's if we missed A-Team because of Girl Scouts, we had to set a cassette tape in front of the TV and leave it running. We only got sound and we liked it. True story.

Thank god those dark times are over. Now, go get a Tivo and join us! Join us!

[Jason_Brown]

TIVO. "Don't leave home without it...being on and taping your shows." That should be their tag line.
My dual-tuner dvr kicks Tivo's butt and takes it's lunch money. :p

[Dave]

I heart the Office. Jim and Pam, Yea!!!!!!

Jim is going to get his ass beat down by the finacee, i have a feeling.

[TLS]

I think Jim is too witty to get his ass kicked. He'll figure a way to distract the fiance.

I love the episode (was it last week?) where they went through the complaint box and Micheal read off a bunch of complaints from Dwight about Jim. Just picturing the stuff made me crack up. I was laughing so hard I think I may have missed some of them.

[Dave]

It doesn't matter how witty Jim is, Roy is going to be one steaming ball of rage. (even though, i'm pretty sure he's cheating on Pam - hence the early leave). Jim's going to have his teeth knocked out.

Also great in this episode:

the Dwight/Angela kiss-slap-smile.

The drink order for what's-his-names "girlfriend" (why i can't remember all these characters names, i don't know) the 7 and 7 with 8 cherries, blended. And her love of Kobe Bryant.

So are the Brit and American shows going to have a Cross Over? (http://www.nypost.com/seven/07102006/entertainment/the_british_are_coming_entertainment_don_kaplan.ht m)

[Threadkiller]

It was not immediately clear if the British cast members will be reprising their roles from the original U.K. version of "The Office" Here's to hoping they do. I'm stoked.

[ozchick]

They've been showing the US version late on Sunday nights here and I've really gotten into it. I'm not sure what season we're up to though.

[Dave]

well they only made like one and a half so, i'd say your in the first most likely. (it was a mid-season replacement with a limited run last year)

[ozchick]

Oh really? I thought you were into your 3rd or 4th season. I know the ep last week was about the booze cruise. That Pam & Jim better get their act together!!

[Dave]

It's all uphill from there my dear. I love that lady who keeps getting drunk and naked!

[Dave]

So how great was this past weeks episode?

Pam's date was great, and that Indian girl cracks me up (you would think that by now, i'd know peoples names)

Also jim walking in on "Jane Doe" and thinking that Dwight hired a hooker was fantastic!

[By-tor]

That's what she said. :D

[FanGirl]

..or he said.

[marksiwel]

its smells like updawg in here

[TeamRamRod]

fuck the world series.

[Dave]

What? Go Cards!!!! Whoooo.

[Dave]

Let me say that i don't like this seperation between Jim and Pam at all. I want them to be together, and right now, i feel like the show is about to fall into the "Friends Ross/Rachael Trap" where they both know they want each other, but can't both get single at the same time.

I don't like the ex-finance skulking around, trying to win her back. I have less of a problem with Rashada Jones, mostly because i'm a pig and am Okay with double standards, but fear that that relationship will end up putting Jim and Pam back to the status quo they were at when the show started, and that's no good.

Poor Michael, he just can't seem to keep from screwing up a good thing, can he?

Last nights Office was fan-damn-tastic. The trip to the Japanese Restaurant with the 'crew', drinking Naga-sakis and bringing back the waitresses. (who Micheal had to mark to keep his straight - All waitresses look alike you know)

The X-mas party war, Pam's present to Jim, Jims Rebound comment. What a great episode.

Watch the English version, it's vastly superior.

[Dave]

I wouldn't say Vastly or even moderately. I think they are pretty even at the moment with the US version holding its own and perhaps on the verge of powering ahead.

[phit_demon]

It's a Xerox of the english show, with an inferior cast (with the exception of Carell).
Any time I have watched it I have failed to see any merit in it.
I feel it dilutes the original's tone in favour of a far broader one, which I just don't find funny.

[Tongue]

Does anybody know if the UK show is running on BBC or PBS? And when?

I know that when Ricky Gervais won his Golden Globes or whatever for the original Office that it was being shown on BBC America but I don't know if they are gonna repeat it at all.

When I watched the first few eps of the US version I agreed with you. They did the same scenes verbatim with a different cast and it just blew big fat chunks. But I think it came into it's own after that and I really enjoyed the episodes that were intermittently shown on tv here (I think we got to about half way through Season 2). Steve Carell took his character in a whole different direction and Jim and Pam are even more awesome in the US version in my opinion!

I like Both, but other than Ricky G. and a Gareth moment or two, the other office wasnt as funny.

Jim, Pam, Ryan, Kelly and Creed more than make up for the anythingelse the UK office could offer.

a couple of things in your favour, Chris finch is a bigger tosser than American Workplace's "whammy" guy from Anchorman.

Theres no middle aged mom talking about disgusting thing, I think she got replaced by Dwight's girlfriend.

I really don't see why one is better than the other, I like them equally each with their merits and faults.

Just so we can all get it out of the way.

The USA Version is good too, also its currently playing on TV and new episodes are being made, so lets just go with it. Its a good show admit it. Better than most, better than scrubs (I said it) If only Cox was on The Office

I am Crabby, I have been sick since before christmas.

But

I
Wanted
to
talk
about
the Office

Jim+Pam= Jam
Dwight + Angela= Dwangela
Michael + Jan= Man

and
JD + Turk= Jurk

[ILovePapaSmurf]

I like the Jim and Karen romance.

Pam lost her chance, but I wouldn't mind seeing them together.... just not as bad as Jim and Karen.

Oh, who am I kidding? Team Pam!

[Razorback]

Oh, who am I kidding? Team Pam!

She had this great opportunity to have the man she wanted, who wanted her... and she punted it. Why? Because she wants what she can't have.

[marksiwel]

Pam is coming off a 10+ Year Relationship. She has been dating Roy since she was in High School, she has never had to even think about dating or loving anyone else. Then Jim comes around, she didnt know that she loved him, or she wouldnt let herself

Then Jim goes, hey I love you, your getting married in a few weeks, she says no, pretty much because she doesnt know what to say. Then Jim comes in and kisses her. She is still freaking out. Jim should have given her some time.

Jim goes off to Stamford, she breaks off the Wedding. She goes months without Jim. She and Jim start talking on the phone after months of not talking. Then she finds out Jim is coming back. He comes back, acts coldly towards her, doesnt tell her he might be seeing Karen untill after the fact.
Now Pam is in a situation where she has to do something she isnt used to, she has to take some risks shake some things up.

She isnt the kind of person to break up Jim and Karens relationship just so she can have Jim. But that doesnt mean she cant be friends with Jim and Karen. I think she is just scared. Its a character flaw, but hey shes human.

I cant wait for the new episodes

[ozchick]

have there been more episodes since the christmas one? given the length of it being almost double I was convinced it was the season finale

[marksiwel]

No, in America we have 20-22 epsiodes a Season.

It they did go Winter Break or Christmas break as some call it.

But they are showing new eps now.

SPOILERS

The last epsiode dealt with Michael coming back, Jim and Karen had a fight, Pam helped Jim with his Karen problems and then had a break down. And a Photo of Michael and Jan in Jamica is sent around the office.

Next weeks episode should be pretty good and progress the plot of the season


Also great office websites

and yet they won last year. In fact Steve Did and so did the show. What does that tell you?

Fuck the Office Uk, okay. Just fuck it. Its off the air. The American one has more seasons, better actors and I bet its made more money than the UK one has. You lose get over it.

When has the amount of money a show has made ever been an accurate representation of it's quality? According to that logic American Idol is better than almost every show currently airing.
And as for better actors, all I can do is laugh! Apart from Carel, they are as average a cast as I've seen in a while, and that Dwight guy...don't get me started.
The fact is, the american version is merely a facsimile, and if it is so much better and has such talented writers who have brought it so much further, then why didn't they put all that effort and talent into making something original?

What season did you watch? 1 or 2?
I'm not saying you have to love it, but come on, get over that who UK or Death nonsense.

According to that logic American Idol is better than almost every show currently airing.
Now why'd you have to go and bring the Idol into it? Don't nobody better be talking no shit about my boy Seacrest.

I watched the first 3 or 4 episodes of the first season, then lost he will to live.
By all means come to Dublin, make it in May and then me and you can fight to the death, and then lick our wounds while rockin' out to The Tastys. When are they playing again. Oh, if ooooooonly I could remember...:D

Only a condescending tosser would call someone a condescending tosser, you condescending tosser.

As for the Office - I liked both versions. I will admit that in the beginning it was a bit annoying to watch an exact replica for the UK version. Now it bothers me much less. If I had a job in the human world I would claim that everyone of us has worked with a guy just like Andy (Ed Helms) and he is so perfect that I cannot help but cringe.

that's fair enough, as that's what i'm like when chatting to people i don't really know - just don't see the point in the blatant slagging off though. surely some sort of witty retort would suffice? (talking about the bloke from boston and the one from texas)
other than that everyone seems pretty cool

"The bloke from Texas" you are referring to is a cat just so you know. His human is just doing the typing for him.

Also Andy is a real tosser. Dear god I worked with an Andy and a Dwight for 3 years. It was hell.

Did anyone hear his Ringtone? Dear god I want that on my phone

Yes. It's from 'Casino Night.'

[ILovePapaSmurf]

I love it it's great.

Thanks. 'Casino Night' is one of my favorite episodes from the show, and I thought the icon of them kissing was adorable!

I'm in love with this show... and Jim.

[PftLBritt]

Smurfy, the latest Entertainment Weekly had a nice three pager on Rashida Jones (a.k.a. Karen). Did you know that not only does she portray the other woman in the Jim-Pam relationship, but she is also John Krasinski's real-life ex?

Let the hate commence!

I have that issue sitting in my bathroom. I have yet to read it, but I love Rashida. She was engaged to an actor.... and I can't remember his name, but they were a cute couple who recently broke up.

The show just has an amazing cast and I think "Karen" is perfect for the show. Hopefully she's on for a while since they made Andy a regular.

"You look very exotic. Was your dad a G.I.?"

[FanGirl]

I loved last night's episode.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

I loved last night's episode.

Before I begin, I want to say, I love Creed.

Ok, back to what I was going to say, last night's episode was fantastic. I think I laughed the hardest (and had to put the show on pause for about five minutes after) when..... *spoiler*









Kelly was yelling at Creed (I believe) to not kill the bat because it was a living thing and can feel pain and stuff and when it was released from the open door, it comes flying at her while she screams, "Kill it! Kill it!" The reason why I felt it was the best thing out of last night's episode because I'm so guilty of that.

[FanGirl]

I have to say of all the things Michael has done what he did to Ryan as punishment was far more thought out and evil then I would have ever given him credit for.

The garlic bread was awesome.

[Threadkiller]

Before I begin, I want to say, I love Creed.

This was the first thing I thought of when you said that.

http://showcase.netins.net/web/creed/creed%20pose.jpg


While both are hysterical for different reasons, I agree that this Creed is funnier:

http://lifeintheoffice.com/wp-content/images/characters/Creed.png

[By-tor]

I rewound the DVR 5 times to watch Dwight fly off the counter. And a few times when Micheal said "Pollocksayswhatindex?", "Thank you, Mr. Kawolski." The smirk he gave the camera was hilarious.

[FanGirl]

I loved when Pam got the kudos from Michael that she really needed and the moment was stopped with "Do you have something in your pocket?" and he pulls out the candy bar. I love this show.

[Threadkiller]

the moment was stopped The moment would have really stopped if he'd had something else in his pocket. There's that moment of dread before he answered where you are wondering if Pam's worst fear is about to be realized. I stopped breathing for a second there until he pulled out the candybar .

[marksiwel]

What about

Jim not coming to Pams art show!
In the deleted scenes they show Karen almost pulling down the flyer Pam put up but then stopping.

Also OLD ROY is back, so Double GRRRRRRRR

[Dave]

Yeah , i was suprised by that too. And yes, Double GRRRRR on Roy, but we all know that he's only back short term.

[marksiwel]

So how long does everyone see this show lasting?
I hope atleast 2 more seasons

[Jason_Brown]

I heard one of their own employees thinks they'll be out of business in five to ten years, tops.

[Dave]

I hope it lasts that long. Perhaps Micheal will convince the company to move into art supplies.

[TeamRamRod]

Loved the convo between Karen and Jim and you could see Dwight in the background checking the structural integrity of the bannister.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

Tonight's episode was fantastic. The deleted scenes are really good this week, too.

I still retain my love for Creed. Not the band.. and especially seeing Scott Strapp's "manhood." And, what a man hood it's not. Damn gossip sites!

This whole thread is Spoilers





Did anyone see Cocktails yesterday?

Roy Freaked the Fuck out. Very much the old Roy.
Last line of the Night
Roy "I am going to kill Jim Halpert"

!

[Dave]

Did he say that? I missed that part.

It was hysterical to me when his brother started trashing the place. That was great.

Dwight is a freakshow. shaking the baninster and checking the chimney.

Jan has some issues too. She's got a self destructive thing going on.

[FanGirl]

It was the last line of the episode when he's sitting outside the bar.

Best part was Dwight asking if the guy watches Battlestar Gallactica and he says no. "Then you're an idiot." I whole-heartedly agree.

[Dave]

Yeah, i missed the coda because i got up to do something.

I don't watch BSG either, but like 24 its not because i don't want to, rather, i'm just so far behind now and i don't want to jump in mid-story.

[FanGirl]

Well the first two seasons are on DVD (all eps are on iTunes) and we're only on season 3. I'm catching up 24 myself. I watched the first season and am waiting for the discs from a friend for season 2.

Ah that would be sweet.

Or just Dwight guest starring on BSG dont ask how just do it. 8th Cylon maybe? The Schrutes are ROBOTS!

Just watched from DVR last nite. Jan saying "That's what she said", then "What am I saying?". Priceless. And her comparing herself to a star collapsing into itself. Funny stuff. Dave, I agree, she is heading for troubled waters. All hell should break loose tomorrow nite. Jim vs. Roy. Whatever happens we know this guy has Jim's back. :rolleyes:

Jim was being a D-Bag to Pammy.

Stanley's face at the very end of last night's show made the whole episode.

When he is standing on the trampoline, I hit pause and turned to my friend and said "Oh no. Oh no. Do you realize what he is going to do?"

I think I watched the watermelon drop 2 or 3 times.

That was a great episode.

Indeed. Harold Ramis's work on The Office is probably the best thing he's done in the past 10 years. I hope he's slated to direct a lot more episodes.

Only 2 episodes untill this season is over.

I too was mad about the lack of new office.

I do like that they have Newpetes. Repeats with New Footage, or unseen footage. Thats just badass.
Way better than anything Friends ever gave us

[Dave]

I didn't realize they did that, i was washing dishes because it was a re-run. Now i'll have an excuse not to do that, because i don't want to miss the new stuff.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

I'm really sad there are only two more episodes of the season left.

I totally thought she was going to be the new Jan but the ex-temp is even better. I can just imagine how much everyone is going to hate having him as a boss. That episode didn't disappoint me one bit.

[Dave]

I can't believe Temp is getting that job. Surely he's up for some other position, right?

His breaking up with Kelly was brutal and excellent, though.

Oh, and Jim and Pam, Jim and Pam, Jim and Pam.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

Did anyone get a chance to read Creed's blog? He's so amazing!

You can have her RamRod. I'll stick with Pammy.

I think the Actress who plays karen would make an excellent Lois in another superman movies/series.

Ryan working for corporate, well I guess that might mean slightly less screentime, I guess B.J might be wanting to more behind the camera work, or other projects entirely.

[Zens7s]

You can have her RamRod. I'll stick with Pammy.

jan moving in with michael? ryan in new york? ryan not dating kelly? jim breaks up with karen? come on!

[FanGirl]

That all happened in the finale. Michael asked Jan to move in with him in the car ride back from NY. Ryan got the job and dumped Kelly in the very last scene. Jim left Karen in NY and came back and took Pam to dinner. Did you not watch the finale?

[Attardog]

I love both the UK and the US versions. I've caught everything up to now on Netflix, however I have not seen any of the past season. The last thing I saw was Jim kissing Pam in the office after the casino night party. I cant wait till they release the next part on DVD.

I've got to say I would love to see Kevin Smith do a cameo on Extras as a director!

[marksiwel]

That all happened in the finale. Michael asked Jan to move in with him in the car ride back from NY. Ryan got the job and dumped Kelly in the very last scene. Jim left Karen in NY and came back and took Pam to dinner. Did you not watch the finale?

Yes but 3 months has passed since the season 3 ended.
1stSo we didnt know for sure if Jan did indeed move in with Mike (She mentioned it)
2nd We dont know WHAT Ryan got (Rumor had it he was talking to Karen on the other line and that someone NEW was going to take Jan's place (but that had been debunked) Also we didnt know for sure that Kelly and Ryan were "over" he just said "we're over"
3rd. Jim asked Pam out, we dont know what happened with him and Karen.

I did watch the Season Finale. Thats why I am telling you should have put *Spoiler* on your of the season 4 premire because it did confirm things that hadnt been proven yet.
Its like after season 2 ended and they put a preview that said that Pam and Roys wedding was called off and Jim and Pam werent together, wouldnt that have needed a spoiler alert?

[marksiwel]

.
I've got to say I would love to see Kevin Smith do a cameo on Extras as a director!
Nah, I dont think he is right for the part.

[FanGirl]

Sorry. There wasn't anything in there that I thought wasn't mentioned in the finale so I didn't think it needed a spoiler tag.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

No, Ryan for sure got the position Jim, Karen and Michael were going for. Exciting news! I just finished watching the last episode of Season 3 today. Watched the whole season this weekend.

Still my favorite episode of the series is "Casino Night." I'm pretty sure a couple people can figure out why.

[marksiwel]

Sorry. There wasn't anything in there that I thought wasn't mentioned in the finale so I didn't think it needed a spoiler tag.

with all respect I still have to disagree.
Any talk of the new Season or Clips from the New Season should be tagged as Spoilers.
I point to Officetally.com for office fans, almost all of whom have seen the season finale, Tanster (site mod) still posts the video with Spoiler Alert Tag.

I think we need ground rules for spoiler alert. That will be my next thread.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

Marks,

Everything FanGal mentioned WAS in the finale. You should rewatch the episode as soon as you can.

SO we saw or heard of Jim Breaking up with Karen in the season Finale? No we didnt, it was assumed. That alone should have earned a spoiler alert.

[FanGirl]

Let's see Karen left to go see her friends. Jim drives back alone and asks Pam out to dinner. I think that was a pretty safe assumption.

[marksiwel]

Let's see Karen left to go see her friends. Jim drives back alone and asks Pam out to dinner. I think that was a pretty safe assumption.

I didnt say it was less than obvious.
I assumed that at the start of season 3 Jim and Pam would atleast be talking, i assumed wrong

Or how about in BSG
SPOILERS
Starbuck isnt dead? Is she? I just saw her flying, but it could be Applo having a freak out. I assume she IS alive though, but I wont post about it without a spoiler hence forth.

Also whats obvious to YOU isnt to everyone. I just thought posting images/videos from an upcoming season would give away plot points for EXAMPLE

SPOILER

They released photos of Season 4's first episode "Fun Run" and one of the shirts a character is wearing gives away a Plot point for that episode/season.

News that is not spoiler related. Jenna Fisher (Pam) and her hubby, James Gunn, have separated. They made a joint statement on both their blogs and released the same statement to the press. It sucks.

They were a great couple.
For anyone not familiar with James Gunn, I urge you to put a movie called The Specials in your Netflix queue. It's funny enough and features a nice Jenna Fischer cameo as well.

And for those who like obscure trivia, James' brother Sean Gunn (Kirk from Gilmore Girls) plays fantasy baseball with Rush lead singer Geddy Lee according to IMDB.

He's got alot more Brothers too.

I cant help but wonder what happened? Was it the Jennifer Garner thing, where she was more famous than him, and his career was "slow"?
Did they just not work together?
Was she cheating on him? Him on her?
I get so gossipy

[DarthMaulRat]

She's just too much for one man. And in the end, aren't all actors and actresses married to the general public? We're their first love...

[Dave]

Well? What did everyone think of the premier? Andy and his sensitive nipples were great. Poor Sprinkles.

Oh, and Jim and Pam! Jim and Pam!

[FanGirl]

I had to stop the Tivo I was laughing so hard at the jeopardy line and the superstition line.

I think I like the episodes better as a half hour, though.

[Threadkiller]

Having PB&J (Pam Beasley and Jim) together is worse than when they just wished they were together. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the awful office gossip to start causing friction and the misunderstandings and all the other conflict. Having them as a couple having problems will be twice as heartrending as having them as a potential couple with problems.

Love the show though. Anyone know if A) the Sikh IT dude is coming back? and B) If Phyllis was even in that last episode?

[FanGirl]

I saw Phyllis and her hubby at the fun run.

There were rumors of them bringing the IT office show here to the states. He might be apart of that eventual crossover.

bringing the IT office show here to the states.

Perhaps I'm reading that wrong, but you mean, the IT Crowd?

"Have you tried forcing an unexpected reboot?"

[FanGirl]

Yea, I knew it was IT something. I've heard about it, but it hasn't made it over here yet.

I had to stop the Tivo I was laughing so hard at the jeopardy line and the superstition line.
Same here. Tivo is da bomb, yo!!!

Creed kills me. His discussion on cults, leaders and followers, was classic.

Creed is one of my favorite characters from the show.

Creed is one of my favorite characters from the show.

Heck yeah, I'm a big Creed fan too. I've been re-watching season 3 with my friends, the moment in the Beach Games episode when he snatches the fish out of the river with his hands always cracks me up.

Has anyone checked out Dunder Mifflin Infinity? (http://www.dundermifflininfinity.com/faq) It looks like it might be fun but as most online marketing gimmicks go it probably isn't.

Creed's hair-do this week. Whaddya think, Bra? :D

Creed definetly earned "Hero Points" this week. :D

How many Stanley Nickels do you need for one Hero Point?

I really love how the minor characters are stepping it up as the show progresses - Creed has got to be one of the best characters.
I forget which episode .. but it was the one in season 3 where the workers place bets on how well they know the other co-workers or something .. I loved how they switched his apple for a potato and he keep eating it without notice :D And the Beach Games fish incident was classic, lol.
Speaking of Beach Games .. Stanley's face expression when they were sumo wrestling was hilarious! Hahahahah .. they need to play up his character more

My favorite Stanley moment was when he came out and saw the smashed watermelon on his car.

About five, but those are hard to come by.

The last hour long episode until the end of the season ~sniff~ But coming up are more guest directed episodes... Ramis and Whedon come to mind, so its all good.
