The Office extended to TWO more seasons?
Could Season 5 of The Office be a lock?
RickyGervais.com has this news posted on the front page:
Ricky has scored further success in America, with NBC deciding to make two more series* of the US version of his comedy The Office. Network boss Kevin Reilly said That The Office represented ‘the best of what we consider quality shows’. This will bring the total episodes to 94 which will almost certainly mean syndication.
*I think “series” is equivalent to “seasons” in this case.
Assuming 22 episodes each for Seasons 3-5, 94 does add up …
Updates after the jump.

Why Ed Helms is a mensch
TV Squad is reporting a lovely little story of how Ed Helms (“Andy”) came to the rescue of a partygoer who had apparently fainted:
[Ed] kind of took the lead on the whole operation, trying to flag down a bartender to tell him that the woman needed medical attention — the bartenders just stood there and stared, not knowing what to do — all the while trying to help us get her to the couch … Ed did a great job of making her feel better, engaging her in conversation and making funny but sympathetic jokes about her fainting spell and about how no one really noticed …
Andy may be psycho, but Ed is a gentleman.

Office music: it’s hip to be stale
The New York Times discusses The Office’s use of pop hits from yesteryear:
… even casual radio listeners will probably know “My Humps,” which was an inescapable hit for the Black Eyed Peas in 2005. When that song was heard as Michael’s cellphone ringtone in an episode late last year, it instantly communicated two things about him: He was trying to emulate the younger generation, and he was lagging about a year behind their tastes.
