Soooo… was BJ actually on the Today Show? I was really hoping to hear what he had to say about the strike but I didn’t see him at all this morning.
[from tanster: yeah, i’m thinking his appearance was canceled or rescheduled. i haven’t heard anything about it.]

47 | PEH Tue. Nov. 13, 2007 at 4:51pmI downloaded and installed The Office Game, and every time I try to run it, my computer freezes up. Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?!
46 | Kaytor Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 9:33pmI am a HUGE Days of our Lives fan. Thanks so much for linking the clip of Rainn Wilson giving the re-cap!
45 | Tammie Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 8:59pmany hope for mac users that are desperately wanting the office game?
44 | Hannah Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 5:52pmI ended up voting against Arcade Fire and The Office, my two favorite things in the entire world. I couldn’t decide so I flipped a coin. The Office won. I’m so sorry Win!
43 | Cher is Bonto Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 4:38pmAnybody know what B.J.’s appearance on “The Today Show” is in regards to? Will he be talking about the strike or something else?
42 | Shannon Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 12:57pmI thought Jenna was doing her own singing…?
41 | kayla Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 12:18pmAgreed, ES. Radiohead vs. The Office was the hardest choice for me.
Also, that “tuting” video was the highlight of my day!

39 | Hannah Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 11:30amYup, it’s great! Very addictive!
Eventually, House/Hugh will be voted for one of the best tv shows of 07 in the issue by the critics. And I bet Radiohead will have best album of 07. Entertainer of the year is a big honor and the office deserves it.
38 | Zadie Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 11:27amThat tutoring clip with Craig was hilarious! All those guys were funny. Thanks for giving me a chuckle on a crappy day. :)
37 | officeisms1978 Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 11:08amThe video game was way better than I thought it would be. But $20.00 is a little steep in my opinion.
36 | Wince Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 10:12amI agree about the pool, having to compare The Office to Thom Yorke, Arcade Fire, Colbert and Kathy Griffin, impossible. And Pearl! Ugh, I’m going to cry, with their stony cold eyes staring at me…how can anyone make a decision? In the end I chose Radiohead over The Office, c’mon, In Rainbows…heaven!
35 | ES Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 9:42amWow, that game was REALLY bad. Just like Season 4.
34 | Office-O-Holic Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 9:31amThat EW pool is cruel. Putting 30 Rock against the Office in the first round. Both of those shows would have made it to my final four. But now I’m at an impasse. Judd Apatow or Nathan Fillion? Whichever goes on will beat The Office, but which goes on? Judd Apatow had of my favorite comedies ever open this summer, while Nathan Fillion is what made me go see The Waitress (also Firefly/Serenity and Slither were amazing but not this year)
33 | Nussy Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 9:04amHigh five to #30!!
32 | Claire Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 8:57amAww, Phyllis is so sweet.
31 | Jan has plastic boobs Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 8:49amNice to see Dwight’s return to Seattle..
Go Dwight, and go Seahawks!
30 | Wantourlammachineback Mon. Nov. 12, 2007 at 6:08am@ #15. Seriously, some of those choices were sooo tough. I feel a little guilty saying I picked Hugh over The Office cast for the win, but I had to, he IS that show and he’s amazing.
