James Spader is The Office Boss
This is an odd bit of news concerning The Office. For months now, we’ve been eagerly waiting to hear whom they’ve hired to replace Steve Carell as Scranton branch manager at Dunder Milflin Sabre. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine them hiring someone to replace Kathy Bates as CEO. Where did that come [...]
The Office – “Search Committee” – review
Despite The Office’s season finale being an hour-long affair, I intend to keep this discussion as short as possible. It was a disappointment, to say the least. This was stunt casting at its worst, throwing celebrity after celebrity (people like James Spader, Jim Carrey, Ray Romano, Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, etc.) in our faces as Jim, Gabe, [...]
The Office – “Dwight K. Schrute, (Acting) Manager” – review
Where has this The Office been hiding all season? Much of Season 6 has been hit or miss (mostly miss), at times being hard to watch, and others surprisingly sweet but weak in the B plot. I felt like I was watching something from the show’s earlier seasons last night. First off, Jim. JIM!. I [...]
The Office – “Inner Circle” – review
This is a big moment in The Office‘s history. It’s the very first episode in seven seasons without Steve Carell. How did it go, you ask? Actually…it went pretty well. With Michael Scott gone, a lot of characters that have gotten pushed into the background over the years came to the front to fill in [...]
The Office – “Goodbye, Michael” – Review
“It’s just sometimes, goodbyes are a bitch.” Jim Halpert said it best at the end of Steve Carell’s farewell episode, “Goodbye, Michael.” This is the end of Michael Scott’s run as manager of Dunder Mifflin. It’s been seven years, and it’s hard to see him go. It’s so hard that even though it’s his last [...]
The Office – “Michael’s Last Dundies” – review
The first (and until now only) time The Office did the Dundies was the first episode of season 2. That was five seasons ago, and a lot has happened since then. “Michael’s Last Dundies” brings all those changes front and center. When The Office first started, it was a great mockumentary set in the real [...]
Jim Carrey Appears in The Office Season 7 Finale
Have you gotten your official invite to appear on the season finale of The Office? Me neither, but we’re obviously part of a small minority as THR reports that Jim Carrey is joining the ever-expanding cast for the close-out of Season 7. Will the rubber-faced funnyman be joining Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, Ray Romano, James [...]
The Office – “Training Day” – review
I heard months ago that Will Ferrell was guest starring on The Office for four episodes as Michael Scott’s replacement. There were mixed feelings about it. Ferrell can be really funny sometimes (like in Anchorman and Old School), or he can ruin everything (Semi Pro ring any bells?). My biggest fear was that he would [...]
The Office – Steve Carell Gets Extended Exit
Steve Carell will be leaving The Office on April 28th, and TVLine brings word that NBC is giving fans a little extra time to spend with Michael Scott during his departure episode. Carell’s farewell show has been expanded by twenty minutes so The Office will run from 9:00 PM to 9:50 PM. The schedule change [...]
The Office Season Finale – Ray Romano, James Spader, and Catherine Tate to Appear
As always, the folks over at TV Line are reporting the juiciest Hollywood news morsels. Our voracious laughs are in danger of extinction as actor Steve Carell zeroes on his exit from the ever popular series The Office. In fact, his final episode is due to air on April 28. The event is bittersweet, marking [...]
Cody Horn Enters The Office
Cody Horn, previously seen on the FX series Rescue Me, is moving to NBC’s The Office, according to TVLine, as the Dunder Mifflin team pads their roster in hopes of covering Steve Carell’s absence. There’s not a whole lot known about Cody’s character at this time, except that she’ll be “a pleasant and smart addition [...]
Ricky Gervais Wants Will Arnett in the Office
Steve Carell’s Michael Scott hasn’t walked out of The Office yet and it looks like Ricky Gervais, the creator and star of the original UK version of The Office (and mortal enemy to every celeb who attended the Golden Globes) is already looking for his replacement… maybe. Gervais recently posted on his blog, amidst a [...]
