Alba, Leachman to Join Jack Black on The Office
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office
Although most shows would be perfectly happy with just two seconds of Jack Black, NBC is not letting its Super Bowl year go to waste.
On February 1st, a list of stars will be making cameos on a rare Sunday installment of The Office. Joining a previously announced Black will be actresses Jessica Alba and Cloris Leachman.
In the special post-game episode, several employees of Dunder Mifflin will attempt to download a bootlegged movie during work hours. (The title of the show is appropriately titled “Stress Relief.”) Jack, Jessica and Cloris will all be featured in that film.
Football fans will also get an added bonus. That installment of The Office will run a full hour.

Scranton, PA Welcomes ‘Office’ Fanatics
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, NBC, The Office
How many other TV shows can garner enough interest to support a convention—let alone in Scranton, Pennsylvania? Fans of The Office rallied together over the weekend to celebrate the series and even a few Office stars joined in on the fun. Ed Helms, who plays Andy Bernard was on hand, saying, “We’re the Beatles in Scranton.” And he’s not too far off the mark, seeing as more than 3,000 people turned out for The Office party. The show has really put Scranton on the map—and this city of 75,000 threw a thrilling enough convention to grab fans from as far away as Australia and Ireland. And wouldn’t you know there was plenty of Office fun to be had, including Dunder Mifflin paraphernalia, a lookalike contest, and a performance by the Scrantones (not Scrantonicity, strangely enough). In addition to Helms, cast members Angela Kinsey, who plays Angela, and Kate Flannery (Meredith) were also at the big event. To top it off, there was an Office Olympics, complete with “Flonkerton,” where fans raced with their feet in empty paper boxes, and yogurt lid medals for the winners.

The Office: ‘Launch Party’
Posted by David Onda Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Editorial, Features
The Office has still got it – that much is certain. And while I do feel there is something off about this season, I still can’t put my finger on it, and it’s not enough to disrupt my enjoyment of the NBC comedy. The past two weeks, we saw a lot of interesting developments by way of relationships. As fans are aware, Jim and Pam are very much in love, Ryan and Kelly were over when Ryan got promoted and Dwight and Angela are in the midst of a very catty breakup. Oh, I went there. Yet another hour-long episode kicked off with Michael announcing to the staff that the Dunder Mifflin Infinite website was launching within the next 24 hours. In celebration, there would be a D.M. corporate party in New York City, which Michael had been invited to. All other branches would celebrate via webcam satellite parties which could be viewed by those at the New York gala.

‘Must See’ 30 Rock!
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC
It’s Thursday, October 4th and that can only mean one thing. The return of 30 Rock! I know I’m not alone in my love for Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and company, but to say I’m mildly obsessed with the series may be an understatement. Case in point, I made a reference to “The Rural Juror” the other day at a family gathering, which was meant mostly by blank stares (thankfully my sister-in-law got the joke!). So, after a long summer of waiting, 30 Rock is back, baby! And a full hour! And Jerry Seinfeld is making a guest appearance! Seriously… I may hyperventilate. My excitement could only be somewhat expressed by the use of many exclamation points in this post, but I will try to keep my wits about me and carry on professionally. Oh, who am I kidding?! 30 Rock!!! It’s back!!! And it’s not all about 30 Rock, because My Name is Earl and The Office are also on for an hour tonight (by the way, how cute are Jim and Pam?), so basically, for you comedy lovers, this is one great night of TV! And, thankfully, I can record Ugly Betty on DVR, which is another one of my favorites (although I probably don’t need quite so many exclamation points for that one).
