According to a recent cnn.com story, the show might be expanding to an hour every week next year...

"At NBC's "upfront" presentation to advertisers on May 14, Zucker says he expects NBC to unveil five new programs - three dramas, one comedy, and one reality show - for its fall schedule. Zucker and Reilly are considering stretching The Office to an hour and canceling the original Law & Order"

that would be fucking amazing if they do indeed decide to do it

5/1/2007 3:06:39 PM

I said they should do that back whenever they still had the two seperate branches earlier this season so each office would get more than 11 minutes of airtime.

But think about it; they have so many deleted scenes each episode that they could almost make 43 minutes with footage they have now.

Plus they could have more time for bit characters like Patrice O'Neal and Champ Kind.

More time for Creed!!!!


YES!

Its Creed

He's in charge of Quality Assurance, not 3rd base for the White Sox

5/1/2007 3:47:10 PM

the high school gf thing was a little forced/unrealistic

5/1/2007 3:54:34 PM

bonus time tonight

43 minutes if the guide is right

NBC has a weird timeslot schedule tonight

Earl from 8-8:36

The Office from 8:36-9:19

Scrubs from 9:19-9:53

and ER from 9:53-11


Whatever, as long as we get more Office. 43 mins should equate to about 30 minutes of actual programming as opposed to 21 with the 30 minute show

sweet

Season ends on the 17th, I can't believe it

5/3/2007 5:16:47 PM

I take full responsibility for the confusion over Mr. Bratton's name spelling; if only subconsciously.

5/3/2007 6:04:12 PM

^^^A lot of times they fill the extra time with more commercials.

5/3/2007 6:10:31 PM

whew..... I am saying a lot of things

5/3/2007 8:45:07 PM

this just might be the best episode of the season

we'll see how it ends though

5/3/2007 9:01:53 PM

I was thinking the same thing.
I'm rolling - haven't stopped laughing

5/3/2007 9:04:37 PM

btw, WTF was up with that NBC17 commecial.... started off like a Viagra ad, and ended with NBC17?

5/3/2007 9:05:32 PM

oh god, best Creede moment ever

5/3/2007 9:09:15 PM

hahaha dwight looking in the mirror was awesome

5/3/2007 9:24:06 PM

I am so SO curious if Pam is actually gonna step up and tell Jim how she feels, and I kinda want to see the ensuing fight between her and Karen

5/3/2007 9:55:06 PM

Best ep of the season by far

"....Anyway...I was just at the mall and they were filming something but I just assumed it was some stupid crap because...well...pretty much everything on tv is stupid crap....but I was about to walk straight into some PA and I look up and realize that Michael, Pam and Phyllis were standing 2 feet in front of me! They were all standing around a water-feature/mall fountain pond thingy and but there were so many mall lookers hanging around and the production crew seemed to be rushing so I didn't want be a total idiot and walk up and talk to them. But it was most exciting and then I saw Angela a little farther down but couldn't see who she was with... "

Told you guys And apparently I couldn't tell who Angela was with...because she wasn't with anyone but the camera folk

5/4/2007 1:03:45 AM

awww man, I thought it ended at 9pm so I changed the channel.

what'd I miss?

5/4/2007 2:15:09 AM

A good episode

5/4/2007 3:21:49 AM

Fact: Bears eat beats.
Fact: Bears beat Battlestar Galactaga.


MICHAEL!!!!

5/5/2007 8:15:16 PM

bttt tonight!

5/10/2007 5:08:07 PM

I like 2 hours for 3 shows instead of 4

5/10/2007 5:57:14 PM

finally some honesty from pam...nice!

5/10/2007 9:21:17 PM

woohoo 1 hr finale next week

5/10/2007 9:56:33 PM

did anything happen after pam said all that and walked in the water? my tivo cut off

5/10/2007 10:26:57 PM

^nope

5/10/2007 10:31:01 PM

yeah, kinda a letdown, i think. pam was halfway honest, but nothing came of it...

5/10/2007 10:36:48 PM

weak episode

5/10/2007 10:57:12 PM

^^that's what the season finale is for

5/10/2007 11:20:07 PM

i wonder what the letter said that Toby put in the outgoing mail

5/10/2007 11:56:25 PM

i doubt it was anything special, they were just showing him doing normal work stuff and being sad


i thought this was a pretty good episode

Called it.

My prediction for the finale is that karen gets the job at corporate over michael and then she and jim break up. There has to be some suspense in the offseason, right? Will jim and pam get together now fits that perfectly. They have both confessed their feelings for each other now so it seems inevitable.

wait so being curious about something that is obviously going to happen eventually means you called it?

[Edited on May 11, 2007 at 12:52 AM. Reason : its not like this is lost and they are trying to surprise people at every turn]

I don't think it's gonna happen, because once it does it won't be as exciting as everyone hopes.

There is no way they'll send Michael, and I know they shot 2 different endings for the season. I kinda want to see Jim sent to NY for awhile and having Karen/Pam in the same office missing the same guy.

5/11/2007 10:37:18 PM

does anyone know where i can watch the past two episodes online?? i went to nbc.com but they just have 2 minute replays. youtube is the same way. if anybody can help me out that'd be great. my DVR fucked up a couple weeks ago and i heard the last two episodes were really good.

That's really shitty. This will only hurt the writing.

5/17/2007 4:40:19 PM

at least it won't be the entire season, I don't see it working as well as an hour long show
