Thats What She Said!


The Office is back tonight on NBC. Going into this 5th season, I know we all have our own predicitons as to what is going to happen, here are a few I came across along with this deal for Seasons 1-4 of The Office on DVD for free! Just Click Here!

The Office: 5 Predictions For Season 5

1. The Writers Will Resist the Urge to Break Up Jim and Pam

Jim and Pam's relationship has been the anchor of the series in its first four years. The “will they, won't they” routine was played as far as it could be played without monumentally pissing off the audience. Now that they are together, the common sitcom routine would be to once again pull them apart. Pam going away to New York for an extended period of time is a clear story-telling device to put the relationship in question. However, they've been through too much, and The Office writers are too smart to pull a Ross and Rachel. Jim and Pam will stay together, and likely get engaged by the end of the season.


2. Angela Will End Up with No One

You're crazy if you think Angela is going to marry Andy. There's just no way, especially after the very final scene of season 4. She has to make some sort of rational decision at some point – I wouldn't be surprised if she took it all the way to a wedding and then left from there. If it does go to a wedding, that is a great setting for an entire episode. What do you want to bet that Dwight wouldn't be able to hold his peace during the ceremony? As for Dwight – I just don't ever see it working out with him and Angela.


3. Holly Will Break Michael's Heart

Holly and Michael hit it off in the fourth season finale, and Amy Ryan will be back for a handful of episodes to play Holly once again. But, she won't be a regular character, and will likely disappear at some point early in the season. Her departure, which is inevitable, won't be a happy moment for Michael. Holly will initially help Michael get over Jan. He will be happy, then Holly will up and leave, crushing Michael's spirit, at which point he will run back into the arms of Jan.


4. There Will Be Less Office Scenes Than Ever Before

Just like Seinfeld, The Office will expand its canvas out of necessity as the show gets older. They've already begun doing this, more and more so last year, but this season will feature less office time than ever before. We will see characters outside the office that we're not used to seeing – I'm thinking Kevin and Stanley.


5. The Office Will be Darker than Ever Before

The Office has never been completely light-hearted. The character of Michael Scott, if The Office were a drama, would be about the most disturbing character ever concocted. The story-lines coming into season 5 seem ripe for darker, possibly more disturbing humor – Jim and Pam's geographic separation, Michael dealing with Jan's pregnancy, the Andy-Dwight-Angela triangle, etc.

Gosh...what if Angela married Andy. What if she actually said yes. That would be quite interesting. Andy would totally be the "wife" in the marriage. hahah. I mean...c'mon!! From last night's premiere, he's completely planning the wedding. I feel so bad for him too because she turning down every idea that he has.

Oh hey...did you happen to watch that Tide commercial with the rapping stain. It came on during the premiere of The Office. That commercial was unlike anything I've seen from Tide. I thought it was pretty cool. Well anyway, the guy who was in the commercial is the winner of the Talking Stain Spoof contest that Tide created. They decided to create the contest after their original talking stain commercial that first aired during the Super Bowl earlier this year.

The winner, John Michael Sy (aka Emcee Miko) was featured in The Chicago Sun Times and talks about why he decided to enter the contest and how he did it.

...and in case you missed the commercial, check out the “Stain Rap” spoof on: http://www.tidetogo.com/ads

I hope you don't mind me telling you about this I work for Tide and if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
