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.
More Office recap after the jump – find out who the two new potential couples are.

‘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).

Nickelodeon Gets Kids Off the Couch
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Kids, Cable,
Before I get into this post, let me first say that I’m absolutely giddy (yes, I said giddy) because I just finished watching My Name is Earl and The Office. How great is it that the fall season has started? Pretty darn fantastic… and I also can’t wait to watch the Ugly Betty premiere that I recorded on the DVR. Of course, it’s late and I won’t be able to get to that until tomorrow. But anyway… kids’ network Nickelodeon is doing their annual bit to get kids away from the TV by offering three hours of dead air on the channel this Saturday. From noon to three, kids are supposed to use the time to get out and play, rather than watching the tube. I think this is an admirable effort, but really… if there’s nothing on Nick, don’t they have a sea of other channels to choose from? Just being a naysayer, I suppose. Then again, I limit the amount of television my kids watch and they’d much rather play outside than watch the TV. Video games, however, that’s another story. I’ve had to literally implement a timer system or else they never want to stop playing! So, folks, take Nickelodeon’s lead and get your kids off the couch and active!

The 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards Coverage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Animation, Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Mini Series, Prime Time, Reality, Sci-Fi/Horror, Specials, ABC, Bravo, Cable, CBS, FX, FOX, HBO, NBC, Showtime, 24, Amazing Race, The, American Idol, Daily Show, The, Dancing With The Stars, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Extras, Family Guy, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, House, Lost, Medium, My Name Is Earl, Scrubs, Saturday Night Live, Survivor, The Office, The Sopranos, Top Chef,
The 59th Annual Emmy Awards has not even started, yet I’m already sensing sensing a weird vibe about tonight’s telecast. Will the show be a celebration of those young and new (e.g. Heroes)? Will it be a tribute to those bowing out (James Gandolfini and crew)? Or will performer Kanye West somehow manage to cast a controversial shadow over the rest of the ceremony?
What a difference a year makes. Twelve months ago, we were still handing out trophies to stars from Will & Grace and The West Wing (those shows feel so five-years ago now). Today, we welcome a new crop of nominees including Ugly Betty and 30 Rock for Best Comedy. Last year, we were entertained by an always-hilarious Conan O’Brien. This year, we are threatened by a song and dance number from this year’s host, Ryan Seacrest. Last August, 24 snagged the award for Best Drama. This September, it’s not even nominated (yet somehow Boston Legal is).
I think it would be safe to assume the voters would predictably (and respectfully) shower The Sopranos with honors, but I’ll still be crossing my fingers for an upset sometime tonight. We’ll need something to talk about tomorrow…
Here’s the play-by-play of tonight’s events coming to you from the neglected West Coast!

Top 5: Cliffhangers I’m Waiting to See Resolved
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, ABC, CBS, NBC, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, The Office,
Having (purposely) blacked out what was left hanging in May, I actually managed to enjoy my summer. Now with premiere dates looming, I’m finding myself salivating and feeling a bit antsy again. Will my returning shows serve me right—or will they just drop the ball? Here are the five season enders I’ve been fretting about the most:
The Office (NBC)
Although they have left me with dread before, the writers have proven they can write themselves out of a possible corner. When Jim initially professed his feelings for Pam, I was afraid the show had gone too far, too soon. But who could have predicted the route last season would take? And now that Jim and Karen are kaput, will Jim and Pam finally be happy? More importantly, will we be happy? And let’s not forget about Ryan and Kelly. What on earth will she do if he really takes that promotion?
Grey’s Anatomy (ABC)
Right now I’m really in the mood for a good girl fight, so I would pay money to see Callie give Izzie (as much as I like her) what she seriously deserves. There’s nothing better than a Callie-done-wrong. And while I liked Preston Burke as a character, I’m surprisingly not sad that he walked out of his wedding. If anything, I’m hoping this will lead Cristina Yang (the fabulous Sandra Oh) to become bitter x 5.
How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
Funny—this show is supposed to be a comedy, yet last season’s finale really shook me up. When Ted and Robin realized they simply wanted different things in life, I immediately found myself going through stages of grief. Nah—they’re
did they have to break up—so what if she doesn’t want kids?? Arrgh—can’t anyone be happy these days? Really, I just want them to do what is best for the show.
CSI: Crimes Scene Investigation (CBS)
As inconsistently as I watch the series (I have to know what’s going on at Seattle Grace)—I found myself drawn to that miniature-doll-killer storyline. Now I will have to find more room on my DVR because I must know what will happen to Sara! Will Grissom find her in time? And now that everyone knows that they are secret luvahs, how will this affect the rest of the show?
Heroes (NBC)
All I can say is: “WTF is gonna happen now?”
Jenna Fischer, Husband Split
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, NBC, The Office, Gossip, Rumors,
I just read this news and let out an audible sigh. I don’t know why… it’s not like I even have a clue who Jenna Fischer‘s husband (James Gunn) is, nor have I ever really seen them together to get a sense of their chemistry. It’s just kind of sad to always read about another celebrity split. And I can’t help but think it’s because Fischer is becoming a big deal. We’ve seen it all before—I’m thinking Uma Thurman or Jennifer Garner—where one half of the couple is more famous… and the next thing you know, you’re reading about another divorce. Of course, I can only believe that Fischer has got to be the sweetest person; from her blog alone, she seems really down to earth. She and Gunn (who is a writer and director) have been married for more than six years, but according to a statement they released, they said, “We have chosen to separate. We are sorry for any pain this causes family and friends. The enthusiasm we have expressed for each other’s lives, spirits and careers is real – we have been each other’s cheerleader and friend during the past six years and continue to be so now and in the future.” Now we’ll have plenty of tabloid reports about who she’s dating next. Anyone want to put money on her co-star, John Krasinski?
