Ms. Ryan appeared in last year's season finale as a puppy love interested of Steve Carell's character, Michael Scott. "I don't know what they're going to do with the character," Ms. Ryan told Variety, "but as it was written, there's certainly a lot of potential. It's a funny ...

The FCC has announced that they will be examining the practice of "embedded advertising" on television and will decide on what additional disclosure messages should be provided to protect the audience. This differs from simple product placement in that embedded advertising interweaves products into plot lines and dialogue, essentially, transforming a normal scene into an advertisement. The FCC contends that additional disclosure messages are necessary to protect viewers who may not be aware that advertisers ...

Technically not movie news, but if Lost has its place on Row Three, then so should the far superior The Office (you know, only the best show on American television).

We do them here too, but it seems to me the more giant lists that are done the more meaningless they become.

You know you always wanted to be just like Dwight Schrute. Say what you want and do what you want because you are so clueless you don’t even realize what a jackass you are being. Ignorance is bliss and Dwight has a boatload of it. Having his ID badge permanently affixed to his shirt just seems exactly like something he would do. Product Page ($10)

Rainn Wilson nació en Seattle, en enero de 1966. Técnicamente, su primer personaje en una serie de TV fue el de Casey Keegan, el bebé de dos años de la serie One Life to Live (1968). No sé si eso cuenta como debut, supongo que no. Entonces digamos que su estreno en la tele, con uso de razón, ocurrió en el dramón misterioso Charmed, donde hizo un pequeño papel; hablo de 2001. Le siguieron pequeñas ...

As some may have noticed, I have an “in” at the American version of The Office, so I tend to think about the show a lot. For the last few years, I would often meditate on why the formula would not work in Japan and came to the conclusion that the premise too strongly attacks the sanctity of corporate life. Sure, there are plenty of office comedies in Japan, and many poke fun at ridiculous ...

Now that "The Office" finale is over, I think it's time to turn to next season. I'd like to propose to both NBC and A&E television that they do a cross-over episode where A&E's "Paranormal State" investigators are called in to check out supernatural happenings at NBC's "The Office".It's a natural fit, as "Paranormal State" takes place at Penn State university, and "The Office" resides in Scranton, Pennsylvania. They could even bring back Joss Whedon ...

Spoilers for "The Office" fourth season finale coming up just as soon as I see if our vending machine takes buttons...I have one complaint, and only one complaint (and it's less of a complaint than a concern), and I want to get it out of the way immediately, because beyond that, "Goodbye, Toby" was perfection, more than living up to the show's great season finale tradition set by "Casino Night" and "The Job."So, the complaint/concern: ...
