From NBC.com:
CASUAL FRIDAY | 04.30.09 | 9/8c PT | TV-PG
![]() MICHAEL
IS TORN BETWEEN HIS TWO SALES GROUPS - Michael has to mediate a dispute
within his new sales team. Meanwhile, trouble brews in the office when
several employees take the term "casual" Fridays too loosely. Rainn
Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, Ed Helms, Leslie David Baker,
Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Mindy Kaling, Angela Kinsey, Phyllis
Smith, Oscar Nunez, Creed Bratton, B.J. Novak and Paul Lieberstein also
star.
----- As mentioned in yesterday's podcast, I can't help but think these last few episodes might be a bit of a let down after the thrilling rollercoaster ride that was the Michael Scott Paper Company plotline. Can an episode about dressing too casually on a Friday REALLY stand up to our newly reborn expectations of excellence? I will be hoping for the best, but writer Anthony Q. Farrell (who has written only one other episode, "Employee Transfer," and a few of the "Kevin's Loan" webisodes) has a LOT to live up to. As always, leave your comments below, and join Kevin and me in the TWSS Chatroom during and after the episode airs.

One of the highlights of "Broke" was Jim's custom ringtone of Dwight repeating "idiot" over and over. Now NBC is satisfying the needs of tech-savvy fans with a download link so you can install it on your own phone (because everyone wants a little Dwight in their phone). Ringtone is available in two formats (select "Save as..." to download to your computer): - WAV - M4R (iPhone) The great thing about custom ringtones is that you can hear in advance who is calling, just like Jim. So, it was very easy to install the ringtone on my iPhone and use it for one of my contacts. Now, whenever Matt calls me I will hear "Idiot, Idiot, Idiot..." :-)

One hundred episodes? Not too shabby, "crappy" American spin-off that had nothing on the UK version. On a less sarcastic note, congrats to the cast and crew. Looking forward to another hundred. EDIT: Here's an "official" video from NBC.com:

Hey everyone! Greetings from the "cibercafe" at the Grand Mayan Riviera Maya resort, just outside of Playa Del Carmen. Been pretty busy for the last few days (just got back from seeing Chichen Itza-- holy crap, the heat!), so I haven´t had a chance to access a computer.
Glad to see everyone liked the last two episodes. Can´t wait to see what happens next. Look for a double episode of "Dream Team" and "Michael Scott Paper Company" to air shortly after I return.

We haven't seen much of Melora Hardin and the character of Jan Levenson since the infamous "Baby Shower" episode earlier this season. We know that Hardin has been busy appearing in the Broadway cast of "Chicago," but with recent news and several projects hitting the marketplace right now it's definitely "The Month of Melora." Hardin's first project of note is this weekend's box office champ, Hanna Montana: The Movie. And while I'm willing to spend a lot of time checking out Office related movie projects (and even like most of them), guess what movie I'm not seeing? Coming up next weekend is the high school fantasy film 17 Again with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry... and Melora Hardin. As much as I have no interest in Efron, I do like Perry and some of other costars including Leslie Mann and Thomas Lennon. So, remind me to NetFlix this when it comes out on DVD. (remember... support TWSS with a two-week trial to NetFlix). We also have more details of You, the labor of love from Hardin and her husband Gildart Jackson that we mentioned on the last TWSS episode. According to Hardin's Twitter post, "Download @YouTheFilm for Mom May 8th at youthefilm.com, itunes, and amazon!". You can learn more at youthefilm.com. Of course, what we're most interested in is whether Jan will return to "The Office." Well, if history is any indication then just as fans of Team Karen were bummed to learn about a new pilot for Rashida Jones, those fans of Jan can't be excited to learn about "Lights Out," a new FX drama pilot that will star Melora Hardin. Hardin will play a surgeon in the series pilot that will start filming this week. "Lights Out" centers on Patrick "Lights Out" Leary (McCallany), an aging former heavyweight boxing champion who struggles to find his identity and support his wife (Hardin), a pediatric orthopedic surgeon, and three daughters after his fighting days are over. That leads him to take a job as a legbreaker, collecting on unpaid gambling debts. He is diagnosed with pugilistic dementia (a neurological disorder that affects boxers who receive multiple blows to the head), so he decides he'll need to make another big payday to support himself and his family before his brain turns to jelly. According to the article in the Hollywood Reporter, Hardin will not return to "The Office" this season, but "is expected to guest on one or more episodes" next season. Learn More: www.melora.com

From TVguide.com:
Dream Team Following
his bumpy first meetings with new boss Charles (Idris Elba), Jim finds
himself squaring off with the bigwig in a soccer game in the parking
lot. Meanwhile, Michael fears the new workday, so much so that he's
barely able to leave his house. But that doesn't stop him from
assembling his "dream team." The Michael Scott Paper Company Former
romantic rivals Dwight and Andy form an unlikely kinship and plan a
hunting trip together. Meanwhile, supervisor Charles demands a rundown
from Jim---but Jim has no clue what "rundown" actually means. And
Michael holds a Paper and Pancakes company luncheon, but it might end
up as a flat affair. -------- Two episodes in one night? You're killing me NBC! Can't wait to see how this plays out.
