    more than any show, the Office is often about what's NOT said. it's the look from Jim or Pam when someone says something stupid that just kills me.

    They will likely be through iTunes Music Store since that is where you can get them currently.

    One interesting note is that the episode before this last was their 16th episode in a season only built for 15. It was written AFTER all the other shows had been written when NBC ordered another episode in mid-season. The writers and cast complained that they didn't have enough time for it and, as a result, didn't care for it.

    I thought that one didn't seem AS funny or as well thought out as some of the others and when I read about it, I understood.

    I think NBC is going to offer them on their own site. Read on:

    NBC to launch new sites, iVillage TV show

    by Cory Bergman

    During its upfront presentation this afternoon, NBC will make a series of digital announcements. First, NBC will launch a new broadband channel called DotComedy.com (not live yet) featuring clips from SNL, The Tonight Show, Late Night, The Office and more. The site will also feature blogs, mash-ups and podcasts. NBC is also launching a series of sites built around the FirstLook.com brand: NBCFirstLook.com, USAFirstLook.com...etc.)

    Each site will premiere up to four episodes of their respective networks' series in their entirety each year. Coming in December, NBC's owned-and-operated stations will launch iVillage Live, a new, one-hour TV show based on the recent NBC acquisition of iVillage. The Today Show will also feature an iVillage segment. Next, all of the NBC properties will be launching a new video player later this month.

    Lots more in the press release, including plans to produce 30 webisodes of The Office during the summer. All in all, when you marry these announcements with plans to launch NBBC, the network is making an aggressive digital push.

    30 webisodes. :eek:

    That is sweet. I know they're only going to be like 3-5 minutes, but 30 is a bunch. That'll really help me get my office fix over the long summer.

    Best thing from the Office has been the license plate WLLHNG.

    I didn't know you were a William Hung Fan?!?

    I don't know, I thought it was great when Michael found out he had two dates and said he was going to be dropping a deuce on everyone.

    More Michael gems:

    "Let's get it started, Black Eyed Crows"

    How he's quite the Philanderer, due to his charity.

    When he put "Heroine" on the list of drugs.

    That reminds me of this awesome clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbx8hke3-bo

    Great list of quotes here:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386676/quotes

    Dwight Schrute: In the wild, there is no health care. In the wild, health care is, "Ow, I hurt my leg. I can't run. A lion eats me and I'm dead." Well, I'm not dead. I'm the lion, you're dead.

    I remember reading that it was a 21-episode season that at the last minute was bumped up to 22. The last 2 shows before the season finale were among the weakest of the entire year, so I always figured that was the reason why.

    Really? I thought ep 20 Drug Testing was a bit scattered, but ep 21 Conflict Resolution was an instant classic (one of the best pure comedy episodes). Shrugs.

    One of my favorite quotes was I think from the sexual harassment episode that went something like:

    Michael: I love Phyllis. She's like a grandmother to us here.

    Phyllis: But Michael, I the same age as you are.

    Michael: Yea........ I don't know about that.
