The Office - The Merger 11/16/06
Got sick of waiting on someone to start this mutha.

Remember to check your Tivo's. NBC lists this as a supersized episode that begins at 8:36 tonight.

Spoiler:
The Scranton branch and the Stamford branch of Dunder-Mifflin are merged, bringing old friends Jim and Pam back together after months apart. Michael and Dwight and the other employees deal with the changes. Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, B.J. Novak, Melora Hardin, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nuņez, Phyllis Smith, Paul Lieberstein and Mindy Kaling also star. Ed Helms ("The Daily Show"), Rashida Jones ("Wanted"), Ursula Burton ("The West Wing"), Mike Bruner ("C.S.I") and Wayne Wilderson ("The Class") guest star

I had heard he won't be back until January. It is possible that the list is just a standard cast list they use for every week. I hope so because it would be a great opening to have Oscar walk into the office with 5-6 new people being completely unaware as to what was going on.

And once again, NBC starts with the stupid "off-times" showings.

"Guess what, audience- you can either see the entire episode of The Office and miss the first 20 of CSI, or you watch CSI and lose the end of the episode."

It's crap like this that made me NOT watch NBC for the past few years. I thought they were done with it, but nooooooooo...

(PS- before you start with the "get a multi-tuner DVR", don't bother. Thursday 8-10 is already multi-record hell in my house.)

They think the extra five minutes is a selling point, and they're probably also hoping that missing the first 10 minutes or so of CSI will make you just hang on NBC and watch 30 Rock.

Oh, I know what they THINK, but I wonder how many people will have the opposite reactions, such as will likely happen in my house tonight.

Would it be ok if I posted a download link for the Loveline episode last night with Jenna and James Gunn?

Ok, I'll post it. I guess if a mod doesn't like it they can delete it. Click here to download the Loveline from last night with Jenna and James. I recorded it myself, and missed the first five minutes or so, but it should do. I took out all of the commercials as well and made each segment a separate .mp3 file. There are six .mp3 files in all.

"You look exotic, was your dad a GI?"

I thought this was a great episode.

I'm sort of confused, so Jim and Karen are dating now?

Pam looked destroyed when she saw Karen scratch his back.

The Dwight-Andy thing is going to be fantastic, if tonight was any indication.

That was awesome. Lazy Scranton had me dying as did such moments as the new black guy giving Stanley the black sign and Stanley rolling his eyes. Classic. Stanley rules.

I figured that they either were dating, or would be after they had drinks tonight. Or it could be Jim trying to get a reaction out of Pam, to see how she responds. I'm firmly in the Karen camp, so if they are dating then I'm happy.

They were hilarious together, but I loved the Dwight/Andy interactions more. Seems like that could be a giant source of comedy this season.
