Creed named one of best TV actors
MSN TV has named Creed Bratton one of “The 10 Best Actors on TV”:
… the biggest scene-stealer on NBC’s hit comedy has turned out to be the demented-yet-lovable elder statesman of the Dunder-Mifflin family. He’s creepy, apathetic, bizarre and quite possibly homeless.

Dunder Mifflin banner missing
Scranton’s Times-Tribune reports:
The banner, which celebrated that the fictional paper company Dunder-Mifflin Inc., the setting for the popular television show, is based in Scranton, had hung at City Hall for more than a year.
“We discovered it missing recently,” City Hall maintenance worker Gary Francis said. “I don’t know how anyone could have done it, but the city is working on a replacement right now.”
Okay guys, ‘fess up!

Mindy talks about Season 4
SPOILER WARNING! There’s one little spoilerish item about the new season …
BostonHerald.com talks to Mindy Kaling about The Office’s Season 4:
“I think that Ryan is in for it,” Kaling said recently. “I don’t think Kelly would even know where the phrase ‘hell hath no fury’ is from or even know what that means, but we’re going to see that literally enacted upon Ryan, which I think is going to be funny to see. My character is kind of such a sweet ditz, so to see her be scorned and turned into Medea will be really fun and a challenge as an actor.”

The OfficeTally Dunder-ku Contest
“Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.” — Jim as Dwight, ‘Product Recall’
This, my fellow Office fanatics, is what I hereby dub a Dunder-ku — an offbeat version of its namesake — the haiku.
A Dunder-ku consists of four words, three of which must alliterate (start with the same letter).
The goal of this contest is to come up with your own Dunder-ku, describing any character on The Office.
