Ten Things You Don’t Know…from the Boys of “The Office” (WATCH)

A few months ago, I shared a funny column entitled “Ten Things You Don’t Know About Women“. It was written by Jenna Fischer of The Office. Well, the list is back, but with a little bit of a twist. How about the list read by the cast and the crew of The Office?! Not sure how this came about, I just got a link via email, but it seems that someone recorded this video with their cell phone camera. Check it out. Funny stuff.

WARNING! NSFW (they say bad, bad words)

Veronica Mars Teaser

I know what’s in the briefcase…I know what’s in the briefcase. But I’m not tellin’ ya!!!

I hope by now that you have ALL watched the Season premiere of Veronica Mars on MSN. I know some of you are holding out until Tuesday to watch it on The CW, so no worries…I won’t be spilling anything here.

Even if you did watch the season premiere online PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE watch it again on Tuesday night. Even if it’s just in the background. If we don’t have the ratings, Veronica Mars will go bye bye…forever.

Ugly Betty Recap: Series Premiere

Looks like ABC might have another winner on their hands.  Ugly Betty is a sweet and endearing new dramedy, the likes of which we haven’t seen in awhile.  This new show was quick to make it on to GMMR’s list of new favorite shows this fall season.  It’s only drawback…it’s up against my favorite show, The Office.  But, we are lucky that Julie from Television and Sympathy is back to recap each and every episode for us.  Thanks Jules…

Title: “Moment”
Original Airdate: 9/28/06
We open on our bespectacled, braces-wearing heroine Betty, nervous but hopeful, in an atrocious pink suit, in the ornate lobby of Meade publications. The first words out of Betty’s mouth are a compliment to a stuck-up poncho-sporting fashionista, who isn’t particularly flattered. The prissy recruiting coordinator calls her name, but once he spots Betty, tells her there’s been a mistake and that all the entry level positions have been filled. Unimpressed by Betty’s determined recitation of her skills and interest in Meade publications, the recruiter shuts the door in her face. Someone, however, is listening — a trim older gentleman (who you might recognize as Seth Cohen’s granddad) hears Betty’s impassioned plea from a balcony above the lobby.

Later, at Betty’s house, a wildly overdramatic telenovela (featuring a cameo by Salma Hayek) airs on TV while her father Ignacio, her sister Hilda, and her nephew Justin are all sitting down to dinner. They talk about plans for her dad’s birthday and he asks how her interview went. Betty reports that it went “really good,” but her sister’s unconvinced and asks whether she’s considered other options. Her dad is still supportive of her dream, though. Good daddy. They then bring up the news that her boyfriend Walter might be proposing soon. Betty is very “!!!” but hopeful.

The Office Recap: “The Convention”

A standing O and a round of applause for all those involved with putting this week’s episode of The Office on the air. To Lee and Gene who wrote the episode - nice work boys, nice work. As for the actors…once again they played it all out to perfection. With lesser actors these characters would be foolish caricatures.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED this episode and I think it’s an instant classic for most Office fans. So you want to know what went down? Well settle in because you are about to read a ridiculously long and self indulgent recap by moi. Ready? Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

First off, in a hysterical cold open, Michael tells Pam that he was inspired by Angelina Jolie to adopt a baby from China. He needs Pam to look into ir for him. Pam tells him it’s expensive and takes a while. Michael quickly rethinks this genius idea and offers another.

Michael: You know what, Pam? If in ten years, I haven’t had a baby, and you haven’t had a baby …
Pam: No Michael.
Michael: Twenty years.
Pam: No Michael.
Michael: Thirty.
Pam (thinks for a moment): Sure.
Michael: It’s a deal.

Michael and Dwight are off to Philly for the Northeast Mid-Market Office Supply Convention - a raucous good time, and clearly one of Michael’s favorite office related events of the year (next to his camaraderie events of course). Michael’s claiming that it’s going to be a booze filled sex romp. Oh Michael if this is the high point of the year for you, then I am so so sorry.

The Genius of Stephen Colbert

Sometimes I feel the need to share clips that just plain out make me laugh. And this clip had me in tears. Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report shows just why he is lauded for his quick mind and wit when he takes on this representative from DC.
