HAHAHAHAH LOL LOL I am sitting my couch bursting into laughter!!! I LOVE that video...and yes it makes me also wonder why I watched that show.Actually I think when I was a kid I watched it just cause my cool older cousins watched it...but why did I keep watched the reruns over and over again into my teen years? HAHAH Sorry I just thought about hte Buddy Bands...OMG That show is great!
---
ON TOPIC: Yes...one more vote against it being an hour! It's funny cause after EVERY episode I say "That felt short". Yet I wouldn't trade those 22 minutes for the world... or even 44 minutes...

Yeah, I hate to be such a pessimist, but I feel like 1 hr = more commercials. So basically still like an extra 10 minutes (enough for the deleted scenes to stay in) and too many advertisements. Bah!

According to Officetally:
| Quote: | E!’s Kristin Veitch reports that the possibility of The Office becoming a one-hour show this fall is stronger than ever:
| Quote: | | I’ve just heard from multiple insiders that it’s looking very likely that NBC will double the amount of The Office we’ll get next season. I’m told it’s looking like each episode will expand to be an hourlong; however, if that plan falls through for some reason, I’m hearing that, at the very least, NBC wants to pick up something like 37 episodes of the show in its current half-hour format. |
All will be revealed during NBC’s presentation at the upfronts this coming Monday, May 14th |
Ohhh....I VERY much like the sound of 37 half-hour episodes! We'd still get our deleted scenes...and the episodes wouldn't seem dragged out, PLUS less repeats! Ahh...that would be a dream come true!

37 episodes?! How could they manage to make that many? The average for a comedy is around 25, in order to make 37 they'd probably air them during the summer too or something. Regardless they'd have to work at break neck speed. |

They wouldnt have to work as much for 37 episodes that are each a 1/2 hour ...as the time spent for 24 one-hour episodes. The first option would include less air time. Also, there's 52 weeks in a year....so episodes wouldn't need to air in the summer!

No no, I'm saying there are usually 25 half-hour comedies made per season. And because they can't create, shoot, edit and submit episodes in one week they always run into reruns |

I'm still a bit confused about how why my explanation is different from your question, but I'll try again. If doing one-hour episodes is plausable, 37 half-hours should be even easier. Less air time = less filming. It would be like splitting the proposed one-hours into two basically...which would be easy to do, since Benihana Christmas (the only 1-hour we've so far seen) was split into two different part,s which somewhat different storylines.

I don't get it either but basically regardless of whether it's a one hour drama or a half-hour comedy (or a one-hour comedy and a half-hour drama) networks will usually only make about 24 to 25 eps a season, call it budgeting, finances, whatever you want, but it takes pretty much the same amount of time to make both. |

^ Ugggh...I know. She must be a Voldemort supporter. Personally, I'm going to try not to rely on her word too much...and just wait till we hear officially on Monday. I can wait till then. I mean, we have to wait months to see any of the episodes anyway.

This is my second time seeing this violinist icon tonight and I like it a lot. Anyway, here here, I too will wait for the official word...and guard my heart.
