While Michael Scott was falling into a koi pond, Pam and Andy were busy making cold sales calls at the “Wilkes-Barre Industrial Park.” Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are “twin cities” in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Their relationship is similar to other famous “twin cities,” like Minneapolis-St. Paul, San Francisco-Oakland, and Hooterville-Crabwell Corners. We who are from Scranton [ ... ] ...
This week, in an extra-creepy Sound Bites: Michael Scott can’t suit his way out of inadequacy, Castle pays homage to Firefly, Natalie Portman trips out on Top Chef, 30 Rock’s Jenna spoils the secret behind Lost, and much more. Oh, and everyone gets to dress up for Halloween, even delusional entertainment writers who think half-baked ...
On a very special night of Halloween-themed (or at least tinged) NBC programming, our four sitcom leads dealt with the holiday in their own true-to-character way.

Along with this breathtaking re-introduction, Pam and Jim are then [ ... ] ...
Wow, I didn’t realize this until I read Bob’s posting of it in the LITO forum. So… Happy B-Day, JKras! Wow, 30. I don’t even remember 30…. Well, anyway… Enjoy!-Kevin ...
A few weeks ago, the season premiere of House didn’t include any of the non-Hugh Laurie cast, and I worried: It was one of my favorite episodes in years, and that’s probably not a great sign for supporting players. Tonight’s Office didn’t include Pam and Jim, and…well, Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski are safe. Their ...
