The Office: Boy or Girl for Jim and Pam's First Baby?

editor@buddytv.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:19:07 GMT

With the big wedding out of the way on The Office, the next step for Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) is obviously the baby, and we already know that that storyline is set up for February. Does the happy couple get a boy or a girl, Jenna Fischer has absolutely no idea.

"Pam is due to have her baby in February. I don't know what it is. It's going to be a surprise. There have been a lot of discussions about it but no decision has been made yet. So it's really like a real pregnancy. I think we're going to find out when they write it. What I'm having. It should be really interesting."

Can there be a show without Dunder Mifflin?

That's probably the question on every The Office fans' mind after last week's episode. There's a shareholders meeting tonight on the NBC comedy, but it does not really say whether their problems are going to be resolved. Michael (Steve Carell) gets excited when he's invited by David Wallace to be honored at the Dunder Mifflin shareholder meeting in New York, so he brings Andy (Ed Helms), Dwight (Rainn Wilson), and Oscar (Oscar Nu??ez) along in the trip.

'The Office' Recap: Voodoo Mama Juju's and Doing it for the Kids

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:45:22 GMT

Angela (Angela Kinsey) is a voodoo mama juju.

That's probably all you need to hear to figure out that "Murder" is a crazy, crazy episode of The Office, one of the best since "Niagara" that featured Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam's (Jenna Fischer) wedding. It had several laugh out loud moments, which turned out to be a severe understatement to the crisis that has befallen Dunder Mifflin.

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.10 "Murder"

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:05:13 GMT

The hits just don't stop for Michael (Steve Carell) on The Office. After a harsh realization last week (and the consequent breakup with Helene, Pam's mom), he now has to deal with "troubling rumors" about Dunder Mifflin. He forces the office into a day of strange diversions, which upset (John Krasinski) and leading others to wonder if Michael has gone insane.

Has Michael gone insane? After all, it was a wild ride after Pam's (Jenna Fischer) wedding when he met Helene, fell in love with her, started going out, then just as they were celebrating her birthday last week, started to realize that, well, she was very old. You can practically hear the cogs turning in Michael's head. Apparently, he wanted to do a lot of things before he dies, and dating an older woman doesn't exactly go well with that.

People's Choice Award Nominees: 'True Blood,' 'Gossip Girl' and the Usual Suspects

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 11:03:59 GMT

This morning the People's Choice Award nominations were revealed, and as always, it's populism at its best. On the TV side, the nominees often look like the top of the Nielsen ratings list, with a few notable and surprising exceptions. Shows like True Blood and Gossip Girl crept into the Favorite TV Actress categories while Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show features Lost, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural.

However, those are the very cool exceptions. For the most part, the list is full of CSI, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Two and a Half Men and other top-rated shows. Here are the major television nominees for this year's People's Choice Awards.

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.9 "Double Date"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:12:44 GMT

It's awkward city tonight on The Office when the newlyweds Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) ran out of excuses so they have no choice but to go out with Michael (Steve Carell) and Pam's mom Helene (Linda Purl). Yes, a double date for Jim and Pam and Michael and Pam's mother. It's kind of hard to forget how Pam practically exploded when she found out that the woman Michael was dating was her mom (they met in their own wedding), a reaction that included storming out of the room, screaming at the parking lot, and constantly throwing barbs at him during meetings.

So it's slightly hard to believe that Pam might be up for this so soon. The two, Michael and Pam, had a little break from each other last episode, when she and Andy (Ed Helms) went to a sales call outside the office while Michael and Jim attend a meeting of their own, the same meeting where Michael fell into a koi pond.

The Office: Oscar Says He's Straightest Gay Men on TV

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:51:42 GMT

Or rather, he says he's either the gayest straight man or the straightest gay man on television.

Fifty-year-old Cuban-American actor Oscar Nu??ez who plays accountant Oscar Martinez on the NBC sitcom The Office says it wasn't his idea to make his character on the show fake, but he admitted that he wasn't gay in the beginning, that there was no "master plan" to make anyone gay on the show.

'The Office' 'Koi Pond' Recap: Sex with Terrorist, Worm Guys, and Bookface

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 02:22:07 GMT

So Michael (Steve Carell) falls into a koi pond. I'm not sure if I'm missing any reference or metaphor here or I'm just trying to read what isn't there, but tonight's episode of The Office was OK, brilliant in parts then alternately tender and maybe even inspired, because while the plotlines all generally appear disjointed and specific to this episode, they actually continue the bigger storylines that are going on.

For instance, the matter of Michael sort of mentoring Jim (John Krasinski) and Jim sort of holding a grudge against Michael. Thanks to Meredith's connection, the Office people are able to get a hold of a footage showing Michael's fall into the blasted koi pond. As it turns out, Jim could have reached out easily and grabbed Michael. But instead he leaned backwards and just let Michael fall (and in the process step on the head of one koi and kill it).

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.7 "Koi Pond"

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 23:25:07 GMT

It's the Halloween tonight on The Office, and the Dunder Mifflin people are planning a Haunted House for the children in the community. Of course, that entails getting into costumes and such, and already we posted pictures of a few who are in their Halloween attire.

Elsewhere on "Koi Pond" Michael (Steve Carell) attends an important business meeting and falls into a koi pond, while Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Andy (Ed Helms) go cold calling to drum up more sales.

'The Office' Halloween Photos: Guess Who!

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:06:45 GMT

The Office always delivers when it comes to these kinds of episodes, and as proof of that, we have the first batch of photos for the NBC comedy's upcoming Halloween episode. On the episode, the Dunder Mifflin people plan a haunted house kind of thing for the children in the community.

Just for fun, try to guess which The Office characters are shown below. Some are gimme's, like Angela and Dwight, but the first two might just shock you.

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.7 "The Lover"

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 23:46:46 GMT

Finally! Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) are back from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico! It was a little disconcerting last week on The Office with the newly weds nowhere in sight. Tonight on the NBC comedy, Michael (Steve Carell) shocks the couple when he reveals the identity of the new woman he has been dating. If you saw the wedding episode, you must have a pretty good idea who this woman is (if this is indeed what it is). A little hint: Pam will not be pleased.

As for the other stuff on tonight's The Office, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) will try to apologize to Jim for the years of torment with a strange peace offering. It's unclear, however, why this is so, since it's mostly Jim who had done Dwight a bunch of pranks over the seasons.

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.6 "Mafia"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:18:30 GMT

Tonight on The Office, they'll try to take advantage of the momentum built up by the awesome one-hour special last week that featured the fantastically done wedding of Jim and Pam (you can tell I liked it). Most fans of the NBC comedy were in agreement that the first three episodes this season weren't the typical laugh-out-loud The Office that we were accustomed to, and that the wedding episode - "Niagara" - picked up the pace again. Let's see if they can follow it up nicely.

On "Mafia" Michael (Steve Carell) gets a visit from an insurance salesman. Because they're just the type to do it, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Andy (Ed Helms) somehow convince him that he is part of the mafia. Also, Erin (Ellie Kemper) accidentally ruins newlywed Pam's (Jenna Fischer) painting.

'The Office' Wedding: What Did You Think?

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:46:16 GMT

"Four years ago, I was just a guy who had a crush on a girl who had a boyfriend," was how Jim started his toast at the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding. He narrated that for the longest time, he had to do the most painful and agonizing thing a man in love can do - wait. But he did, while slightly flirting, and said that even then he knew that it was his wife that he was waiting for.

Of course you cried. I did. How can you not? But that was just the tip of the iceberg. There'd be plenty of crying coming up for this Office episode.

'The Office' Wedding Sneak Peaks

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:58:23 GMT

It's just a few days before the big day for Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) on The Office. And I don't know about you guys, but the last two episodes didn't really hit it that well for me, so I'm hoping this special hour-long Niagara wedding special will really invigorate this season of The Office.

As a teaser, NBC has released a couple of vids from that episode. The first one was typical Jim-Pam banter, Pam telling Jim that she was told the wedding day supposedly goes by so fast that they should take mental pictures of the highlights. So Jim picks up an air camera and takes a snapshot of Pam, only she blinked. "We should've hired a professional." You gotta love these two.

The Office: Jim and Pam Wedding Site Launched

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:40:55 GMT

It's really here, Office fans. The Jim-Pam wedding that was five seasons in the making will, barring any unexpected hitches, take place next week. To commemorate the occasion, the "seventh most interesting couple in Northeastern Pennsylvania paper sales" launched a wedding site to celebrate the big day. Kind of reminds me of the Meredith-Derek wedding site cancer-stricken Izzie created for Grey's Anatomy.

The features of the site include the usual, an About Us section, guest info (though coming soon) location, video blog (coming soon, too), registry (also coming soon), and the very funny guest book featuring messages from virtually everyone from the Office. Everyone's funny, of course, but here's my top five:

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.3 "The Promotion"

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:35:56 GMT

Following Jim's promotion to co-manager on the last episode of The Office, sort of arch rival (and unofficial assistant to the regional manager) Dwight is not too pleased. He reaches his breaking point with Halpert and looks to the rest of the office for allies. Elsewhere on the next episode, David Wallace goes to Scranton to announce the bad news that not everyone will get a raise this year. Finally, Pam, after being frustrated that there are people who are willing to drive to Niagara Falls for the wedding, would like cash instead of wedding gifts.

Tonight's episode of The Office - "The Promotion" - of course, is the buildup to next week's one-hour special ep that features Jim and Pam's wedding, when the Office crew travels to Niagara Falls for the special day.

The Office: Preview of Episode 6.2 "The Meeting"

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:09:43 GMT

After last week's season 6 premiere of The Office, we go deeper into the season (not really, it's just episode 2), and closer and closer into the highly anticipated wedding of Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer). On tonight's episode "The Meeting," Pam has to deal with one of the harsher requirements - the dreaded guest list for the wedding.

Elsewhere on the episode, Jim makes a request to Michael (Steve Carell) that leaves him feeling insecure and defensive, while Dwight (Rainn Wilson) has Toby investigate Darryl's worker's comp claim.

The Office: Season 6 Premiere "Gossip" Recap

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:24:15 GMT

For the show's sixth season premiere, Jim (John Krasinski) informs us The Office viewers that no, Michael (Steve Carell), Dwight (Rainn Wilson), and Andy (Ed Helms) didn't decide to break everything in sight just for kicks (although that's not very out of character too), they're doing a 2004 internet sensation - Parkour. Isn't it so Michael to get into something which is so five years ago. We also got a 3-second look at Meredith's armpit.

Pam (Jenna Fischer) informs us that it's the last day for the interns at Dunder Mifflin - and thanks to a montage, we get an idea of how they spent their summer: handing Kelly (Mindy Kaling) some tissue, opening bottles for Andy, and feeling Meredith's boobies against their back (don't ask).

Jim and Pam make jokes about shotguns in their wedding. They're really cute.

The Office: Preview of Season 6 Premiere "Gossip"

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 00:11:34 GMT

Yes, tonight's the season premiere of The Office. And as much as it's hard to believe that there's more to this season that Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam's (Jenna Fischer) wedding, there actually is. For this episode, for instance, gossip is the word for the day. The summer interns are preparing to head out, and the office people starts gossiping about them. Michael (Steve Carell) feels left out, so he searches for the next rumor so he can share something. Interestingly, Andy (Ed Helms) will reportedly "struggling" with heterosexuality.

Wait, what? We reportedly previously that The Office just might have another not-so-straight employee aside from Oscar (Oscar Nu??ez). I just didn't expect that storyline to begin right away.

Thanks to 'The Office' Steve Carell Lost 25 Lbs, Among Other Things

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:36:11 GMT

Noticed anything different with Michael Scott (Steve Carell) on The Office? For one, he lost 25 lbs.

En route to the NBC comedy's September 17 return for its sixth season, Carell revealed that he indeed lost a lot of weight back in 2005, right after he debuted on the Office's six-episode first season.

'True Blood' Cast Headed to Dunder Mifflin for 'Office' Wedding

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:55:33 GMT

This early, the Jim-Pam (John Krasinski-Jenna Fischer) Niagara Falls nuptial is being called one of the more heavily anticipated TV weddings in recent memory. The Office people would like us to believe, according to the initial spoilers at least, that the wedding will reportedly not include any of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton employees. But we know that's not going to happen.

Yes, there have been photos of the wedding and the dress, but today, E! Online reports that True Blood anti-vampire Sarah Newlin will head from Louisiana to Niagara Falls to join the wedding entourage. Anna Camp, who in all fairness bears a striking resemblance to Fischer, will play Pam's sister Penny. After several seasons, we heard virtually nothing about the other Beesly, but for the resemblance alone, this casting is made of win.

The Office: Andy to Start Swinging Both Ways?

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:51:03 GMT

I don't know about you guys, but I started to smell something fishy when Andy (Ed Helms) and Oscar (Oscar Nunez) went on a business trip with Michael (Steve Carell) early this season on The Office. On the episode, Andy tried to get Oscar get laid, while they both drunk dialed Angela.

I'm not sure if there were outright signs or I was just suspicious of these things, but then the idea sounded preposterous because Andy was engaged and hell-bent on marrying Angela (Angela Kinsey). However, when the wedding didn't happen and Andy had to go to all those honeymoons on his own, you got to wonder if something changed within him.

'The Office' Season 6 Details: Is Wackier Michael Even Possible?

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:49:39 GMT

This is it guys. The new season of The Office kicks off on September 17, which is a short two weeks away. By now, anticipation for the Jim-Pam wedding has hogged the Office headlines for weeks, but this time, let's give the love birds a rest and focus on the other characters and things happening in Dunder Mifflin come season 6.

By the way, do not make the mistake of confusing Jim's (John Krasinski) on-screen wedding for his real-life engagement to Emily Blunt. Emily is best known for playing, well, Emily, in The Devil Wears Prada. She and John started dating just November last year, and Emily was spotted sporting a diamond ring just recently.

The Office: Tourists Surprised by Jim-Pam Wedding on Niagara Falls

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 23:24:32 GMT

If you were somehow aboard the Maid of the Mist on the Niagara Falls last week and spotted a couple with the guy making funny faces to a camera, congratulations, you just stepped into the filming of the highly anticipated Pam-Jim wedding on The Office. The two-part episode is set to air on October 8, and of course the Office people chose to do it on the US side of the falls.

Tourists were reportedly taken aback when John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer tied the knot as Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly aboard the iconic boat. The cast and crew took two 30-minute rides through the waters, while tourists were given a bird's eye view of the ceremonies from the boat's second-floor deck. They then checked into a fictional Statler Falls Hotel, adorned with a new sign that read "Prepare to Falls in Love."

'The Office' Won't Be a Family Sitcom

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 00:23:25 GMT

The Office showrunner had spoken, and yes, there will be a Dunder Mifflin baby on season 6, but don't count on The Office to turn into a family sitcom any time soon. In fact, don't expect the baby to "dominate" the show when we finally get to see the first addition to the Halpert family early next year. After all, no babies allowed on the office.

Executive producer and writer (and weary HR person Toby) Paul Lieberstein reveals that the new season of the NBC comedy, which kicks off September 17, will pick up a few months after last season's finale, where Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski) inadvertently found out that Pam was pregnant. In fact, "three weeks before the wedding."
