The Office Thursday on Give Me My Remote

January 11, 2007 by  

NBC's The Office

Screw TGIF…it’s more like TGIT!! Yes, thank god it’s Thursday. My favorite night of television brings forth my very favorite show, The Office.

This week the cast is back at work after an 8 week hiatus. It gives me the warm fuzzies to know that the cast is back together and creating new episodes. All is right with the world again. Welcome back Office-peeps…we missed you!

I’m not sure there’s a ton of new Office gossip this week, but what I have it yours. Now, on to The Office Thursdays on Give Me My Remote.

Tonight on The Office…
The Office, Traveling Salesman“Traveling Salesman”
Michael pushes his desk jockeys to pair up and hit the road for sales-call duty. Meanwhile, Angela misses a crucial deadline, so her secret boyfriend, Dwight, tries to cover for her; and surprising news comes Karen’s way. (8:30/7:30c on NBC)

The episode description has been causing major speculation online this week. What ‘crucial deadline’ could Angela possibly miss? Is is THAT deadline? What a storyline that would be. And what of Karen’s “surprising” news? Many of us are hoping that she find out either about Jim and Pam’s past or even Pam and Roy’s history. Let’s just hope whatever the news is, it will help to move forward the JAM storyline. Because seriously, I can NOT take Pam Beesly crying this week. My heart hasn’t fully recovered from last week. And Jenna just mentioned in her MySpace blog today that there is a cliffhanger…so YAY!! What’s your take on what’s happening tonight?

The Office ClipsTerrorists invaded my home and forced me to watch the preview clips from tonight’s episode on Yahoo. Damn you terrorists. For those of you who haven’t seen the online clips DO NO WATCH THEM. Come on, the show is just hours away, you can hold out. Be strong. That being said, the clips were hysterical and I think “Traveling Salesman” is going to be a riot. (Watch Yahoo! clips)

From the desk of Meredith Palmer…
Kate Flannery is back with her first TVGuide.com blog of the new year. Kate gives us the inside scoop on what she did during her break and some of the fans she met during her time off. Also, what will Kate be wearing to the Golden Globes on Monday? We’ll have to wait and see (because she honestly hasn’t figured it out yet). And the cutest part? How about Kate squeeing like the rest of us when she saw co-star John Krasinski on the big screen in Dreamgirls. And this from a woman who is legally allowed to see him everyday. Lucky girl. (Kate’s TV Guide Blog)

More Office Thursday after the jump.

Too Hot for TV…
Well maybe not too hot as much as too long (TWSS). Five deleted scenes from last week’s “Back from Vacation” are now available over at NBC.com. My favorite? How about Jan backing herself into a corner with that whole “I was visiting my sister in Scottsdale story”. Liar, liar pants on fire. (Deleted scenes at NBC.com)

Rainn is Unlikable?…
Rainn Wilson has just signed on to a new film called Kanan Rhodes: Unkillable Servant of Justice. “Rhodes” follows the misadventures of a man (Rainn Wilson) who serves subpoenas with the suaveness, intensity and conviction of James Bond, though that’s where the similarity ends. (More Rainn to Come)

John Krasinski Makes Me Smile…
For those of you lucky to head off the the Sundance Film Festival, make sure you take in a screening of Smiley Face starring Anna Faris (Scary Movie), Adam Brody (The O.C.) and my very own TV boyfriend, John Krasinski. Getting details on this movie, outside of the plot, has been a little tough. I think John has a much meatier role than the recent big screen flicks we’ve seen him in as of late. And just a reminder that there are only 173 days left until the premiere of License to Wed starring John Krasinski and Mandy Moore. So I have about just under 170 or so days to figure out how to snag an invite to that premiere.

The Office on your iPhone…
iPhone and The Office If you are one of those few people that live under a rock, then maybe you missed the buzz about Apple’s new iPhone. I’ve already bought a ticket to hitch a ride on the bandwagon. But what’s The Office connection? Well, like most Apple product unveils, The Office was featured in the product demonstration. (Jim Halpert lives in my phone | Product demo featuring The Office)

LIVE “Office” Chat Tonight…
I couldn’t be more excited for our LIVE “Office” chat over at BuddyTV.com tonight. Having missed “A Benihana Christmas” because of my own work Christmas party, and last week’s chat during “Back from Vacation” because I was vactioning in California, I’m super stoked to watch the show along with my fellow Office addicts tonight.

If you’ve never joined one of our live Office chats, you totally should tonight. It’s a great way to watch the show, and we have a lot of fun. People usually start showing up around 8pm EST. Just click here to set a reminder.

Love The Office…Wear The Office…
I have a feeling that after the Holidays we had many more people showing their “Office” love. Thanks to each of you that bought your holiday gifts at the GMMR store. We are always adding new items such as magnets, stickers, mugs, etc so check it out. (The Office t-shirts and more at the GMMR store)

If you received an “Office” shirt from the GMMR store during the holidays, send a long a pic of yourself showing off your fancy new duds and I will post it on GMMR. Send emails to info(at)givememyremote(dot)com.

Videos of The Week…
We’ve got two featured videos for the week for you to enjoy.

The first is “Jamaican Me Crazy” by aggiegurl22, a hilarious look at the fun the Dunder Mifflinites have in and out of the office.

[gv data=”KEI9GoxbK2k”][/gv]…the second vid is for all you JKras Hussies out there. You know who you are. It’s a montage of the best moments from John Krasinki’s TV interviews. It’s worth watching for just the first 25 seconds.

    Apple iPhone, or Cisco iPhone? Yeah, there’s two of them now. They didn’t think.

    I can’t for tonight’s episode, but there’s just too much on tonight. I’m left to watch the KING5 airing at 10:30pm CST

    Oh, and also, Sure Happy It’s Thursday sounds better, and is more tee-hee funny

    you made my week. i’ve been sick, and have waited for thursday for a long time…and I am not sure how mentally prepared I am too see the possible events that may occur this evening on the JAM front, but I’ve made it through the worse, Pam crying. So…with that being said–is it 8:30 yet?

    And if Phyllis does hint something to Karen, she will instantly become my new hero. Cause, admit it, it will get really good in the upcoming weeks….

    And at first I thought that Angela could miss “THAT” deadline, but I’m still on the fence a bit…

    I love the sound of a cliffhanger, just knowing the pain will be gone in a week, instead of three months will make the next week a bit easier.

    and how DARE you call me a “JKras Hussie”!!! lol…just kidding, it’s true, I’ll admit it! 🙂

    alright, time to drink more tea, and rest…tonight should be a good one!

    Ha Ha Haaaaa Colin, Sure Happy It’s Thursday!!?? I’m in a very silly mood right now and that has caused a huge fit of giggles. And yes, I am S.H.I.T….hey, wait a minute… 🙁 Best night of TV with the Office leading the way, can’t wait! Given my sever spoiler addiction I have naurally watched the Yahoo clips several times and it looks hilarious! Wait a minute…. watch Office clips, silly mood, giggles… I think I see a pattern.

  7. Team Pam A.K.A Stamford Worker on January 11th, 2007 2:19 pm

    I can’t wait! Sorry about the Terrorists GMMR. I locked my door just incase they come for me too! 😉 Other wise i am not watching the Yahoo! Clips. I can’t do it!!

    P.S. Think you could hook me up with tickets to the License to Wed premere? haha, Just kidding! Hope you get em’!

  8. duckyxdale on January 11th, 2007 2:34 pm

    I can tell you right now that if GMMR gets tickets to the premiere of License to Wed she’s taking her main GAY! And that’s a me!

  9. CrazyGringa on January 11th, 2007 2:52 pm

    I am so excited its Thursday!!! So my speculation on the cliffhanger is that Karen gets a job offer at corporate or elsewhere OR she finds out about Jim’s “old” feelings for Pam OR she finds out the reason why Pam broke off the wedding….so what do you all think?

  10. Jo on January 11th, 2007 3:47 pm

    i’m holding out on the yahoo clips for the first time ever. it’s hard especially seeing that clip of Karen in crazy makeup. Pam crying was heartwrenching. but it made Dwight’s punchline even funnier and more inappropriate.

  11. HealthcareHottie on January 11th, 2007 4:04 pm

    I have to say I never laughed so hard at preview clips. I don’t think they spoiled the episode for me, if anything it makes me more excited to see the rest of it.

    I’m hoping the cliffhanger will be Karen giving an ultimatum of some kind to Jim after learning about his history with Pam. Either stop being friends with Pam or discontinue their relationship.

    I saw Dreamgirls and The Holiday recently in the theater, and I forgot John was in both. Let me tell you, when John came on screen, you could hear my excited scream during both movies.

  13. Emily on January 11th, 2007 4:34 pm

    TGIT is right! I actually am one of the lucky ones heading to Sundance (I live in Salt Lake, I don’t have to head that far!) and I already have my tickets in hand for the first screening of Smiley Face. I CAN’T WAIT! I also have tickets to The Nines (staring Melissa McCarthy…Sookie) and Waitress (starring Keri Russell). I think that’s going to be a good week. 🙂

  14. Kris on January 11th, 2007 5:51 pm

    Yay! Office Thursday is finally here! I’m so excited for tonight’s episode! It’s going to be soooo good (like usual)!

    I won’t spoil anyone on Jenna’s myspace blog that she posted today. But i think i know what Angela’s deadline might be.

    Anyway, loved the Krasinski video! My favorite Krasinski interview was his interview w/ Conan. I love Conan and the two of them together cracked me up! He’s hilarious!

    All I can say is OH MY GOD it is FINALLY Thursday. Office Thursdays make my week GMMR!

    I’m supposed to go out for wings with the girls tonight, but I think I’m *cough* coming down with something. Dunderhead fever perhaps?
