The Office -- "Stress Relief" -- 2/1/09 -- Post Super Bowl Approx 10:45pm ET

Super Bowl Promo Pic

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


The staffers try to secretly view a bootlegged Hollywood flick at work. In other office events, a fire-safety seminar goes wrong and Michael throws a comic roast of himself. Jack Black, Jessica Alba and Cloris Leachman guest star.



New 1 hour epispode tonight after Super Bowl XLIII. If you don't watch football and don't plan to watch this live, pad your DVR's at least 1 hour.

I'm padding on both sides. Could be a short game or a long game.

Same for me. I saw a clip when Jenna was on the Leno show and it looked pretty funny.

The several clips I've seen did look good.

But boy, is that list of "celebrity guest stars" making anyone else cringe? Perhaps it will be handled with finesse and work, but big name guest stars almost always seem to ruin the "realistic" vibe of shows like The Office. If anything, I hope this is just a one-time deal for the big Super Bowl show, and not a future trend.

Any way to pad on a Timewarner DVR?

Technically this episode is scheduled to air at 10:30pm ET/7:30pm PT. Even if the game runs short and ends at 10:10-10:15pm, NBC will have to fill until the bottom of the hour since they bought the timeslot until 10:30pm. If it runs over, which usually happens with football, then they will probably take their time going off air with interviews, the trophy presentation etc.

I think it's a one-time deal. And from what I read,
Spoiler:
they aren't actually in the Office, they Office workers watch a video with them in it.

Hmm, maybe I will look to see if they are going to repeat it soon, I hate padding shows by that much.

I bet they do, but it'll probably be split.
