The Office Makes Milf Hunting Mainstream

Defined by the irrefutable Urban Dictionary a milf hunter is, "A person or group who wishes to pound that mature box." What was once a joke only suited for 1990s yuk-a-minute-just-barely-R-rated movies, milf hunting has crossed over into the mainstream. More »

We Got an Invitation to Jim and Pam's Wedding and We RSVPed "No Thanks"

Well, Jim and Pam, possibly the blandest characters in sitcom history, have set a date. The episode where The Office characters tie the knot is October 8. Does that mean we have to hear about it until then? More »

Soon There'll Be Something, Finally, to Watch on TV

The End of Comedy As We Know It

So Housewives wasn't the only thing that ended last night. The rest of comedy did too. No more 30 Rock, Parks & Recreation, or The Office until autumn. Let's see where things were left. More »

Five Ways Parks & Recreation Is Different from The Office

John Krasinski's Harmonizing with Aimee Mann Not Quite Jim-and-Pam Level

John Krasinski is a true renaissance man: in addition to his work on The Office, he can count a Sundance directorial debut and a facility for Muppet arms to his credit. Still, one thing that may need a little more work is his incipient singing career, which he humbly debuted this past weekend in Los Angeles.

Investing Wisely, Office-Style

Adults don't have Sesame Street, they just have Suze Orman and James Cramer and other financial wizards to turn to for life advice. We're forced to look in other places for common-sense tips during tough economic times, like magazines, prositutes, and of course sitcoms. The most recent episode of The Office presented an instructive example: Dunder Mifflin salesman Jim Halpert bought a house for his new bride-to-be Pam Beasley. Did he make the right call in investing in the Scranton real estate market, and what did he probably pay to make his parents' former residence stay in the Halpert family? Plus, deleted scenes from this week's episode. More »

What Should Be Canceled Instead Of Pushing Daisies

As we suggested yesterday and was rumored by the trades, ABC's whimsical dark comedy Pushing Daisies—about a saturnine pie maker who can bring dead people back to life with a single touch—may be facing an unresurrectable demise. In fact, it's very likely the subject of this morning's lead blind item, about a show that's secretly been canceled. The show premiered strong enough last year, but then was perhaps mortally wounded by the writers strike last spring. So it's in danger, yes. Which is a shame because it's got a talented cast (especially its balefully sexy lead Lee Pace and the always chipper and reliable Kristin Chenoweth) and inspired (if a tad too cutesy at times) writing. In fact, there are several other shows that should be canceled before Daisies is. We'll list three of them after the jump. More »
