A few weeks ago, I read that an upcoming “Office” episode was titled “Jury Duty.” I immediately (mistakenly) assumed it was going to involve the “Scranton Strangler” case. And that, of course, would bode well for the prospects of “Scrantonicity.” I’ve gotten a kick out of the ongoing “Scranton Strangler” bit, but it appears that the show is shying away from it now, probably because of the unsavory possibilities of real-life “copycat” crimes. All it would take would be one real strangler to cite “The Office” as an evil influence, a “voice” in their head … 
!!! Well, I’m sure that thought strikes terror in the hearts of the NBC suits and the legal eagles. Anyway, the “Scranton Strangler” was peripherally mentioned in this episode, so that was good. But was I able to scrape together enough to fluff up a “Scrantonicity” for “Jury Duty?” Well, let’s get to the verdict… Read on »
The Office star, John Krasinski, has a new movie opening this Friday along with Drew Barrymore, Kristen Bell and Ted Danson. Looks pretty cool. It might just be enough to pull this non-movie goer back into the theaters this weekend. It’s been a long time, ever since I’ve had to add the price of a baby sitter the the cost of the tickets. Oh and Netflix online has kind of played a part in it as well. I don’t think I’ve been out to the movies in about 3 years.
See the official trailer below:

Nope, still not the 2012 thing. This.

No, not the whole 2012 thing but this. Looks like we may be nearing the end of The Office…..

So, from a “Scrantonicity-istic” standpoint, I was quite anxious about this episode, “Pool Party;” Could we expect a big splash, or would they go off the deep end? Would the writers just tread water? Float some new ideas? Would they sink or swim? Well, it’s time to dive right in… Read on »
I have a high school and college friend named Tony. And Tony has lived with us for quite awhile now. He’s pretty much a family member to my wife and I. He’s “Uncle Tony” to my son. Over the years, Tony and I have watched a great many episodes of a great many television shows together. 24. Battlestar Galactica. 30 Rock. Farscape. Firefly. Parks and Recreation. And of course, The Office. Tony and I have sat and watched pretty much every episode of The Office together since the third season. But last night, I saw Tony do something that I had never seen him do before. Midway through “Pool Party”, Tony got up and walked out.
Two Deleted Scenes have been released from last week’s episode.
