I'm sure astute THE OFFICE googlers might have seen this already, but just in case you haven't, I thought you could use a little eye candy (heaven knows I certainly can!) -- Our dear "Ole Pammy" can currently be seen gracing the cover of the April issue of WIRED magazine.

With BLADES OF GLORY opening this Friday, and two other movies coming out this year, 2007 is gearing up to be Jenna's time to shine.

Mmmrooooowr!

Listener and author of the "Office" section at the "Remote Access" blog Brian Howard wrote and asked me for an interview a while back.  Imagine my surprise.  Me?  Interviewed?  Well, if you inSIST.

With my illness, it's been sort of a bitch to connect, but Brian and I finally got to talk a bit last weekend, and THIS is the result.  Brian and I get into my philosophy for reviewing the episodes each week, my origin in podcasting, why I started this thing in the first place, and whether I'm a "JaMichael" or "Dwangela" fan (long time listeners know where I stand on that one, natch!). 

From the article:

Too bad not every reviewer of his podcast at iTunes or comment poster at its companion blog sees it that way. Maybe Sommer should be used to that. After all, he even got a bad review just because he got sick and couldn’t post a new episode for a few weeks.

“I’m inexplicably flummoxed by people like that,? said the 35-year-old high school English teacher from Racine, Wisc., who has been recording his and his friend Ian Casselberry’s musings on Michael Scott and Co. since August 2006. “That’s the kind of (expletive) that just really drives me crazy with doing something like this, I’ve got to say.?

But it doesn’t get him or podcast partner down... (READ MORE)

Head on over to Brian's blog (and bookmark it, for gosh-sakes!) to read more that you've ever wanted to know about me.

I tuned in to THE OFFICE at 7:30, so I'm not sure exactly what new material, if any, there was to be found in THE RETURN (other than the "I've been sent to anger management" stuff, of course).  But I *DID* stick around to catch the pilot episode of Andy Richter's new show ANDY BARKER P. I.

Good stuff.

Very good stuff.  Lots of promise.

I really enjoyed ANDY RICHTER CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE, and weeped openly at his second, much MUCH lamer show QUINTUPLETS.  So naturally, I am glad to see his return to quality TV comedy.  Say what you will about NBC, but they are leading the league in quality SMART comedies right now.  Nice work, guys.

ANDY BARKER's cast is also fantastic, especially Tony Hale (a.k.a. Buster Bluth from ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) as Andy's mini-mall video clerk neighbor. 

I have a feeling that like 30 ROCK, this show will most likely tank in the ratings because people just arent... well, I don't want to be a snob, but dammit, what does it take for hilarious shows to get watched these days?

If you missed the first episode, iTunes was offering the pilot as a free download.

Episode # 18 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Ian wondering just how many shots it takes to prevent us from collapsing in on ourselves like dying stars. Michael's all a twitter when Jan asks him to sign a "love contract" before their "coming out party," but does Jan truly want what Michael's selling? Slam you against Where? Remember-- "no" means "please don't!" Will Dwight find any termite damage in the crawlspace? Will Jim sink the trey? Will Karen battle Phyllis for the title of "easy rider"? will fancy new Pammy Beesly show the world who's boss? And please, seriously, won't someone think about the Jet Skiis??
