No ‘confirmation’ about the sixth season of ‘The Office’

The announcement made by Angela Bromstad, president, Primetime Entertainment forced me to italicize the word confirmation in the title of the post. The words were like “We want the devoted fans of these series to know that we are thrilled that these quality programs will be back with the same high-caliber episodes that viewers have come to expect”. The show under consideration, other than ‘The Office‘, was ‘30 Rock’. The confirmation of the sixth season of The Office is meaningless, as long as nobody knows when it’d be premiered and how many episodes it’d have. It has been several months since the announcement of the season was made but not a single word from Network’s side has come after that. It has left the fans wondering about the future of the show.

Till May 14, 2009, fans of the series were not very apprehensive as The Office was on air with the fifth season and they were sure that before the season would end, some announcement regarding the next season would be made. But, as the episode entitled ‘Company Picnic’ marked the end of the fifth season, all fans of The Office’, were left high and dry as no body had any idea about the future of the show. Looking into the matter gives me just a single conclusion that the NBC Network is planning to drive the curiosity of the fans to its extreme. Details are being kept hidden and would be. Let’s see when they spill the beans!

A little review of The Office season 5 finale, ‘Company Picnic’ for those who couldn’t catch it. Here, we saw that Michael and Holly joined up as it was the annual Dunder Mifflin company picnic. Once again, Michael failed to express his feelings to Holly. The volleyball tournament happened to be a good one as the Scranton branch did well. At the end of the season, Pam found out that she was pregnant. Watch all The Office episodes here, its’ so simple! Moreover, you can also download The Office‘ and other TV shows.

Well, if anyone has any information to un-italicize the word ‘confirmation’, do pen your words in the comment section

Drugs in The office???

Just as The Office is about to hit the screen for the next season, Craig Robinson playing the role of Daryl was charged with possessing drugs including ecstasy when he was asked to pull over by a traffic cops in Los Angles. He was arrested on June 29. Robinson can avoid jail term if he pleads guilty to drug possession.

Law requires of him to stay clean and complete all therapy sessions before all charges are dropped.

It could not have come on a more inappropriate time when Robinson was riding high on the success of his biggest film role in Pineapple Expresss. He has won a lot of critical acclaim for his role as an atypical hit man in the movie. What’s more, his movie called Zack and Miri make a porno is scheduled to be released in October this year.

It’s quite true that it’s one thing to be successful and another to handle success. Seems that Robinson is drunk high on his recent achievements. What a pity! He is such a good actor and I am sure that his potential is yet untapped. It would be such a shame if we were to ever lose him to drugs and scandal.

Get ready for the webisodes…..now

Hey! It is time for ‘The Office‘ webisodes. It’s like summer gift for ‘The Office’ fans. As per the buddy TV reports these webisodes will be short and sweet and centered upon Kevin. Cool. I think these will be there within two days. I am quite excited and I love this trend of webisodes. ‘The Office’ guys are making it pretty fast.

The fourth season just had its finale in May 2008, and now it is here with its webisodes in the month of July. I would love to watch the fat Kevin, he is so cute. Whenever I feel like laughing, ‘The Office’ is my destination. That’s why I normally come here to watch its episodes when it is off screen. Thanks to the show runners that this doesn’t take long in coming back. I think that’s why this is the most popular show and everybody’s favorite. Why not, it has won uncountable number of awards for the cast as well as for the show itself.
This is never enough to watch ‘The Office’ episodes once, so I have seen it’s each episode several times. I download at least five episodes every weekend. I liked the first season and the fourth season the most. In the first season, it was in the introductory mode and was quite fresh. So it entertained me a lot and the first season is most responsible for keeping me hooked up to the show till now. Every character has been given equal importance and an equal chance to make the viewers laugh hard. The fourth season is my favorite because the story made huge developments in this season even the bold things happened there. The romances reached the advanced stages. Do you remember what Angela and Dwight did in office at the end of the fourth season?

You know what is most exciting thing about the show? Well I like the frequent changes in love affairs. In this anybody can start dating anybody suddenly and can leave that person too on the very next day for no reason. This stupidity is the real fun factor of the show.

Steve Carell not leaving The office

Hey buddies, good news here. Steve (Micheal Scott) is not leaving ‘The Office’. Earlier I heard rumors that he was leaving and frankly guys that was such devastating news for me coz I like his performance and I can say that I watch the show only because of him. If he leaves the show then there is no use of keeping that show on TV. He is the life of this show.

You know it’s a crucial matter and worth consideration when stars make their identity from a show and finally say bye to that show after they start receiving better proposals for other TV shows and movies. When the main character of the show gets replaced then it cuts off a quarter of show’s fun. Audiences take time to get used to the new face. For many episodes, we stay confused and keep looking for the old face; it becomes difficult to accept a new face in place of the face that you have been watching for the last two years. But I can’t say the same about Steve. First of all he didn’t get popular because of this show; he was already a popular comedian and still is the same. But yea, I must say that he had to show some courtesy to the show as he won two Emmy Awards, one in 2006 and 2007 each, for working in this Comedy series. So, this is a wise decision by him that he dropped the idea of leaving the show for movies and other TV stuff.

One thing which I forgot to write is that The Office is in Emmy Awards nomination list in the category of best comedy series. It is among the top ten nominations and may be it can win too, because of the presence of such a brilliant comedian on the show. Great going Steve! We have our eyes on the spin off.

Aziz Ansari to join ‘The office’ Spin off

MTV’s Human Giant fame Aziz Ansari will be the new face in NBC’s show ‘The Office‘ the Spin off. This Spin off is said to be the biggest project of the year. It will feature the stand up comedian Aziz, reportedly signed as one of the stars of the show and the first actor to be attached to the series. Aziz is called one third of the MTV’s Human Giant sketch team.

If this news doesn’t make you jump off your seat then you should know that Ansari was also tapped to play one of the new interns on the eighth season of ‘Scrubs’, produced by and to be aired on ABC. At present Ansari is the hottest name around Hollywood casting circles.
Nonetheless Ansari is a funny stand up and does a great job on ‘Human Giant’, where he has played funny office drones to perfection a few times. He should play well with whosoever Greg Daniels and Mike Schur put him together with.

Here are the rumors that the spin off will be semi related to the original series and it’s not gonna be like the traditional one, as no current cast members will join the new show. There are speculations that the new cast members might appear on ‘The Office‘ to introduce the new show. It is also possible that the show may take place in a setting related to ‘The Office’, like paper mill or paper recycling plant.

The inside reporters have mentioned that Daniel and Schur have hired a writing staff, but are still unsure about how the show should be introduced. We can just hope that it will survive for longer and will be better than the previous spin offs of the shows.

Goodbye Toby review

This episode opened with a classic Jim-teases-Dwight sequence and the rest of the episode seemed to draw more from the UK origin of the series. More focus was on character beats and story rather than jokes and outright gags. Download it here.

In a nutshell, I’d say that day was a pretty sad for Scranton bunch employees. Okay, first of all, Dwight was seeing Angela but later agrees to marry Candy. Oh! Poor Jim as Andy steales his plan to propose Pam. Toby, a brokenhearted man is in his quest to have a few pictures with Pam before he goes and leaves everything behind. Yeah, we got that Ryan has been arrested for fraud.

Okay, it’s Michael now; he really has developed into one of the extremely fascinating and enduring characters on TV. He is, first and foremost, insufferable. He’s a dreadful and horribly selfish boss and yeah of course a socially retarded man-cum-child. Michael gets excited about Holly, the new HR rep.

Dwight and Meredith harass Holly. A terrific addition was made to the cast and that was Amy Ryan who brought uniqueness to the character. Michael plans a huge goodbye party. Angela refuses to help so Michael turns to Phyllis. Here’s my best pick of the episode:

Holly: Hi.
Kevin: Hi.
Holly: What do you do?
Kevin: I do the numbers.
Holly: Oh, good for you.

(After proposing to Angela)
Andy: Mr. Andrew Bernard—got a nice ring to it.

This was the season 4 finale, which left some interesting threads that will be picked up in the next season. I‘d say that each character has ended in a way where lot of questions are to be answered. What do you say?

The Dinner Party on The Office

The first post-strike episode ‘The Dinner Party‘ was finally aired on April, 10. I am one of the fandom who is so excited about the episode because the episode ended a long hiatus. The office fans can never forget that WGA strike because it took The Office away from us.

But now the black period is over and …..it’s back baby ! It is unquestionably good to see the whole stars back. The episode exactly picked up from where the episode ‘The Deposition’ had left.

Episode begins with Michael’s ploy to get Jim and Pam for dinner. Some uncontrollable emotions were on Jim’s face when he realizes that he doesn’t have a plan and can’t get out of it. Things started getting worst from worse when Jim and Pam arrive at Michael’s condo. Andy and Angels are also asked to join them. When they arrive it seems that these are the guests who can make things a little bit awkward. Jim asks Pam to leave by saying that they have to go as his apartment is flooded. At that moment Michael says, “It doesn’t take two people to deal with that”. Jim wants to leave and Pam tells him that if he’ll leaves, she’ll kill him.

While watching this episode, everyone was wondering what’s happening to Michael. Jan is also miserable and Michael ends up by being rescued by Dwight. What I found the best moment of episode was Jim and Pam’s attempts to get out of the dinner.

However, I was expecting some funny moments but I missed that.
