OK, then. I guess I’ll survive the finale after all. And since I’ll be at a sixth grade concert performance, I won’t be able to read the posts and spoil the plot!

Watch it on the DVR! That’s the beauty of it. You can watch in from the beginning WHILE it’s still recording. And, after zipping through the commercials, you’ll catch up and be able to watch it live.
Thanks for the advice! I checked and they did have Direct TV set to record The Office on their “To Do” list. I just tweaked it to start a lkttle early and go a little long.
Now the tough decision: When I get home about 8:15, do I tune in “In Progress” or go watch it on DVR. We’ll see….
Fancy New Brookly- I totally agree with you. JAM is gonna take its time…

#113 - I hear ya. I agree but I do want Karen out of the picture. She is so out of touch with everything that the real Jim is - at least from what I can tell.
I am going to run and hide after writing this, but i gotta say, after watching Beach Games i am totally cool if Jim and Pam don’t get together tonight. In fact i think it’d be weird/awkward if they did… Don’t get me wrong, i live and breathe Jim and Pam JAMness, i’m completely obsessed with them, but Jim isn’t himself right now and Pam, well i really like the path she’s on. I think she needs to continue on her path of self-discovery and Jim needs to get his s**t together!! I don’t want them/the writers rushing into anything just because they think they’ll have a riot on their hands if we don’t see some JAM action.
Believe me, this time last week i never would have imagined these words coming out of my mouth. This time last week i was in the foetal position chewing off my arm worrying that i wasn’t going to get my JAM ending… but after Pam’s speech, i just don’t think it’s Pam and Jim’s nature to suddenly drop what’s happening, forget everything and have crazy monkey sex. I mean, i just can’t see, in reality, people with their personalities just getting together like that, all of a sudden. I mean Jim’s got Karen and Pam doesn’t want to be the other woman… grraaaaag, i can’t express what i mean properly. I know what i mean but i can’t find the words. I just think it’ll cheapen it a bit if they get together tonight i think they have to work their way back to eachother.
I disagree with the people who say they aren’t going to watch if they don’t get a JAM ending. I’m completely content with whatever Greg and the gang decide to do. I trust them and they will do this right. Don’t boycott the show just because your couple isn’t right… if i did that i’d have to stop watching telly all together!!!

HotDogFingers, that is so “Toby” of you. Hehehe. “My kid is in a show that night.” Hehehe. For Tivo…I know it’s easier than it looks. That much I can tell you. You might be able to find a guide on the internet somehow. Go to tivo.com. I bet that will help. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! You just CAN’T miss it!
Happy Finale Day, everyone! May all your dreams come true!
And yay, it’s finally here! Wow, I’m reading through some of your theories about The Job, and I have so many new possibilities in my head. Part of me can’t wait for tonight, but it’s also bittersweet, because that means we have 4 months to go with new episodes! At least last year we had the webisodes to tide us over.
Tivo is pretty self-explanatory so it should be easy. First thing to do is to check the “To Do” list to see if your neighbors are already set to record the show. Click the Tivo button on the remote. From the Tivo Central screen, choose “Now Playing” and then “To Do List.” This will show you what programs are scheduled to record. You’ll also want to take note of what else they may be recording around 8pm Thursday. If they have other shows programmed in, you’ll have a conflict and there’s not much you can do.
If you’re free and clear, hit the left arrow key on the remote a few times to go back to the Tivo Central screen. Then choose “Pick Programs to Record” and follow dirctions from there.
I think Jan has left corporate, thus the open position. I also believe that in the unfolding events of the interview and such, that the Big twist is that Scranton Branch will be temporarily relocated to New York. For one it would reflect “the big changes” as noted by BJ and it would explain Daniels quote “seeing more of new york in the next season” or something to that effect. Everyone would be affected by this and it would leave the possibilies of Jaren/Jam dramas to continue in S4.
Oh no!
My kid is in a concert Thursday night! These things are hard enough to sit through, but knowing I’m missing “The Job” will make it unbearable!
I don’t have Tivo but, as luck would have it, I’m watching my neighbors’ house while they’re on a cruise. They’ll be deeply indebted if I can figure out how to work their Tivo gizmo and record it for them… any pointers?

So I am so glad the promo clearly shows haircut for Jim. I’ve (along zillions of others) HATED the Planet of the Apes toupe thats been bristling off his head in the last several episodes.
Great they stuck a hat on him in beach day, so we could concentrate on the pain in his eyes, rather than the ridic hair.
107 | Pam, Pam, Thank You M'am Sat. May. 12, 2007 at 5:15pm
now that i watch the promos again it does look like jim got a haircut in the one little new scene thingy…
I think that first clip of them standing around reacting to news is from Safety Training…no?
104 | But it's beach day Sat. May. 12, 2007 at 1:12pm
Maybe Jim is smiling at Kevin in the one shot…
Or maybe all of those clips are old. That’s my guess.
103 | But it's beach day Sat. May. 12, 2007 at 1:10pm
1. Jim will be offered the job, but will turn it down
2. Karen will be offered the job.
3. Pam will spend the summer doing that art internship referenced last season
Thus—
Jim and Karen broken up or on the rocks all summer
Jim and Pam apart to start up again next summer
Karen gone
I’m not expecting a Casino Night kiss between Jim and Pam, but I can’t imagine that Karen and Jim are fine after this. Dump him! I would love to see Karen flirt with someone in New York. Alan, Hunter, Devon, anyone.
About the whole Jan being pregnant theory . . . I really hope it’s not true, just because Michael is clearly unhappy with her, and it just wouldn’t be fair! (Of course life isn’t fair, but this a show(!) and as ridiculous as Michael can be, I want him to have a family with a woman he loves) So all this got me thinking . . . remember in “Women’s Appreciation” when Jan called Michael to tell him to come see her, and she told her assistant (James Van Der Beek. Haha) to buy more VODKA?! Let’s hope she’s not preggers, or at least that she didn’t drink the vodka!
OK, then. I guess I’ll survive the finale after all. And since I’ll be at a sixth grade concert performance, I won’t be able to read the posts and spoil the plot!
