Yeah that was the best season ever. I can’t wait for this next season though.
Once the dumb SNL WU goes away, Thursday nights are pretty solid comedy wise. I’ve heard good things about “Community” (even if it’s on NBC) and hopefully P&R kicks into funny mode. Hour-long Offices should cut into P&R time. NBC is on a short leash for me as I’m still upset about Earl getting canceled.
I personally hated Phyllis’ wedding. It is my least favorite Office episode of all time. I really did not like how much of an idiot Mike was and distracted everyone. I hope they don’t do something similar at Jim and Pam’s wedding.
How great would it be if Jim and Pam dance to “Sing” by Travis at their wedding…the song they swayed to, but have yet to dance to?
Wonderful, another premiere/finale that’s only 30 minutes. I guess I’m just watching too much season 3, it’s almost like every other episode of that season was an hour.
I really hope I can watch while I’m abroad…
“Phyllis’ Wedding” was one of the best episodes ever, they’ll have to work hard to make the Beasley-Halpert wedding even greater, if only because there is so much anticipation surrounding it. It’s the closure of the main romantic arch of the entire series etc etc. I feel almost as if I was getting married myself.
I also really really want Holly to come back “ASAP as possible” in order to restablish that sense of undergoing love story. Angela/Dwight and Kelly/Ryan are different I think.
Can’t wait for the new season!
Wait, I thought 30 Rock was going to be midseason?
JAM wedding on Oct. 8th?!
I can’t wait!!!! I am so excited. This is even earlier than last year. Even though the premiere is only a half hour I am sure it will be great. I really hope the October 8th hour long episode is a jam wedding. I can’t wait to see what this season will bring!!!!
Oh man — just what I was afraid of! I’ll miss it cuz I’ll be at a U2 concert. I guess it’s not *all* bad…
As cheesy as it would be, am I the only one who would love to see a special bonus episode before the wedding tracking the history of Jam? Sort of like a clip show but maybe with some new modern-day talking heads added in.
Finally, finally, finally.
I cannot wait for the wedding!!
YAY!!!!! This is so exciting!!!!! I’ve been waiting for some good office news!!!
Yay, a date to mark on my calendar! Season 6 … I can’t believe it. Time sure flies. I couldn’t be more excited!
Oh – and I’m really excited about Community, too. The Arrested Development guys + Joel McHale = awesome blossom with extra awesome.
That’s funny because me and my wife’s Wedding Anniversary is on the 8th of October… :)
I’m with Alison on this one. It’s about the only thing that seems logical.
My fiancee and I are currently planning a wedding. Apparently, “September is the new June”. (or something like that)
Woohoo for October babies! My birthday is October 7th. A JAM wedding would be the best day after present EVER.
Awesome!!! “The Office” and Joel McHale in one night???? That’ll make my Thursdays much less suck-ish.
I’m ok with the cheesy promos, too! I loved this really long promo from season 3:
