Five Great TV Weddings
I’m getting married on Saturday! Jim and Pam’s wedding was very exciting for me, since like most brides, I have an unhealthy obsession with studying other people’s weddings—even televised fictional ones. Here are some of my favorites.... read more
Found in: Blogs, List of the DayEight TV Shows That Hung On Too Long
Yesterday, our esteemed colleague Josh Jackson listed the 15 Best TV Shows That Were Canceled Too Soon. (He left off Kings, but anyway.) Today we flip over the coin to comment on a few shows that maybe went on just a tiny bit too long. Or a lot too long. And in case anyone’s wondering how to end a show right, how to strike exactly the right note before the final credits roll—this is how.... read more

Found in: TV, FeaturesThe Office Review: "Niagara" (Episode 6.04)
We can all breathe a collective sigh of relief as arguably the most anticipated Office event has passed without any major snags or notes delivered down the center aisle. Jim and Pam's tying of the knot was a bit of a snafu, perfectly molded to the show's erratically gawky standard: Pam's torn veil, Jim's clipped tie and Kevin shuffling down the aisle with shoes fashioned from tissue boxes. The only tradition the show follows is the one it invents for itself, so it should have been no surprise the ceremony would let loose a "JK Wedding" reenactment, the perfect breakdown... read more

Found in: TV, ReviewsThe Office Review: "The Promotion" (Episode 6.03)
Last week's "The Promotion" turned out to be a celebration of new and old Office traditions. Jim's promotion as the branch's co-manager both enflamed a very Season Two-esque rivalry with Dwight and refreshingly tainted the Tuna's typical nonchalant, inhuman chivalry that has likely decimated as much real-life romance as it has created. Go ahead, you can say it. It's kind of nice to see Jim have a bad day, held over the flame of disgruntled and raise-hungry coworkers.... read more

Ever since the luster of Jim and Pam's spotty romance stabilized into a happy ever after relationship of sorts, The Office has ventured (or strayed, depending how you look at it) into new seasons of its life cycle. Many of the episodes have since featured storylines that engage all personalities in the work place, lightly peppering in new characters like Holly and rival Charles Miner while devoting more time to touch up the original cast with clever details. What hasn't changed is Michael Scott's childish antics that began last Thursday's Season Six premier with an early dose of hilarity. Accompanied by... read more

Salute Your Shorts is a weekly column that looks at short films, music videos, commercials or any other short form visual media that generally gets ignored.Even the studios stopped denying several years back that television’s not doing so hot. Having atrophied viewership due to the internet and video games, the medium’s no longer the one stop free-entertainment shop it used to be, meaning that if people in the industry want to keep their jobs, they’d best think up ways to tap into these newfound interwebs to keep their advertising from drying up completely.... read more
