"Office" Fun(ny) Run

WARNING:  If you have NOT watched the season premiere of The Office, you might want to skip this post (just for now, of course!)

Here at W&C, my love of The Office is pretty well-documented.  That said, even I can admit the show can at times be a bit hit-and-miss.  I was a bit concerned with these handful of planned hour-long episodes, as they say sometimes "less is more." 

As it worked out, last night ended up being two linked but fairly independent episodes (have to make it work for syndication)...

I thought it was a brilliant hour from start to finish!

I am a t-shirt nut!  Given my quite fortunate self-employed/working from home situation, t-shirts are work clothes for me.  So I have quite the collection.  I have even contemplated posting pix of some of my t-shirts (for those bloggy "rainy days").  I already have one that notes that I am a Dundie Award Winner... so it's pretty much a no-brainer to get this one...   

Yes, it is available for $24 at the NBC store...  though I guess I am not alone, it's already back-ordered (shipping Oct 9th)... and how funny was it that Pam had to try to answer the phone... "Michael Scott's Dunder Mifflin Scranton Meredith Palmer Memorial Celebrity Rabies Awareness Pro-Am Fun Run Race for the Cure, this is Pam."

The night was filled with many TiVo rewind and pause moments... one of our favorites being the "blink and you'd almost miss it"...  Phyllis' Rabies Awareness Quilt:

And as you can guess, I was irrationally thrilled with the status of the absolutely, positively fictional characters of Jim and Pam... or PB&J as Kevin has dubbed them (that's Pam Beesley & Jim)...

Why did this make me so genuinely happy?!  I mean, for reals.

And was it cruel or what... they give us the full bare torso of Andy/Ed Helms... but we get this teasing shot of Jim/John Krasinski?!?!

Phyllis cracks me up. That quilt was priceless. I totally want one of those "Support the Rabid" rubber bracelets. The only thing about this episode... the cat storyline kind of got to me (maybe 'cause I still have residual feelings about our cat running away earlier this year). I get why Dwight did it, but still, it kind of disturbed me. Anyway... I'm at least glad it added some depth to Angela's character.

Really looking forward to this season!

John Krasinski is welcome in my bed ANY time. Of course, that's about as likely as waking up and finding Jake Gyllenhaal there...
