Some of the American characters on NBC's The Office are going to come face-to-face with their British alter-egos! American executive producer Ben Silverman says next season we can expect to see Mackenzie Crook, who played Gareth; Martin Freeman, who played Tim; and Lucy Davis, who played Dawn on the American version of the show. These are essentially the alter egos to Dwight, Jim, and Pam. I think I'm most excited to see Dwight butt heads with militaristic Gareth, but I know my heart will be torn between Jim and Tim!

Unfortunately, show creator Ricky Gervais is not scheduled to appear on the next season of The Office. Too bad. I can only imagine the wonderfully uncomfortable conversation between David Brent and Michael Scott (Steve Carell).

Whew. When I got home last night I almost went tribal on my DVR because it didn't record. I was planning on kicking its ass when I got home tonight, so now he got a reprieve.

Why are networks still scared of the World Series?

I'm courting trouble here after the fine whine I uncorked last night about my distaste for night football, but I'm going to say something else that will make all male fans of this blog question my gender and ask if I buy my Summer's Eve in Spring Fresh or Potpourri scents:

Why are networks still scared of the World Series?

Except for a couple of shows, everything is a rerun tonight, supposedly because the competition from what was going to be Game 5 (but now is Game 4 because of last night's rainout) was going to be too fierce. But the ratings give a different picture.
Looking at the overnight ratings from Tuesday night, you can see that Game 3, in which the Cardinals beat the Tigers 5-0, got smoked by Dancing with the Stars. The game got a 9.2/14, while Dancing got a 13.6/20. Overall, FOX came in second to ABC for the night, even though the networks tied in the 18-49 demo.


Grey's Anatomy and CSI routinely pull in ratings that are even better than Danicing's on a weekly basis. Grey's especially seems like it would be able to retain that audience even against an Game 4 or 5 of an exciting, tension-building series, because it appeals to a completely different audience than the World Series would.

Why do you think the networks still program reruns opposite the World Series? Let me know in the comments.

amen! for me, a new office episode beats everything else.

this show is just freaking great. The Pam/Michael scene literally made me close me eyes and cringe for a second... nothing like painful humor.

 

[thirty-two]

I wish this show was more than 30 minutes.

BJ Novak (producer, writer, and actor) who plays Ryan the Temp on The Office also does standup comedy. This is a bit from his routine - pretty funny stuff: Terrorists
