50 Best Moments of The Office: 46
Andy's reaction is perfect, but what stands out are the mortified screams from Angela and Kelly. One of Meredith's best.
The Office Bracket: Best Character Champion
After a month of voting and 32 Office characters, you've finally decided who is the best Office character. It came down to Jim and Dwight, but the winner was...
Dwight Kurt Schrute III! He won by one vote (three to two), over Jim. It was a close bout! We don't want Jim to get overconfident, right? Besides, Dwight needs a win every now and then. Congrats! He's a truly great character.

As you probably know, I didn't celebrate Zombie Jesus, but I did celebrate rabbits, eggs, candy and brunch. Hope your holiday was great too! Here's a treat:

50 Best Moments of The Office: 47
The best moment of the DeAngelo Vickers arc. No DeAngelo to be found, however. Pam does have her humorous moments.
John Krasinski Says Thanks
Jim Halpert really changed John Krasinski's life. He talked about that with NBC interviewers. He thanked us all and teared up a little bit. Very sad. Czech it:
Greatest Television Couple of All-Time
I did this back in February and Jim and Pam prevailed. Entertainment Weekly (vote there) is hosting a 64-couple tourney to determine the best! I'm going with Jim and Pam, but they're in a tough quadrant. Here's my final four:
Jim and Pam, Lucy and Ricky, Cliff and Clair, Dan and Roseanne. How about you?
Jim and Pam, Lucy and Ricky, Cliff and Clair, Dan and Roseanne. How about you?

50 Best Moments of The Office: 48
The Office always thrived on awkward moments. This one with Toby and Pam made me cringe more than any other, but you have to love the reactions of Jim and Andy and how Toby just knows that he's terrible right then.
Women of Boston Media Tournament
I have obliged myself to alert y'all of every bracket I come across. WEEI has the women of Boston media tourney. There's 16 of them. Don't vote for JC Monahan, unless you want to. She always looks like she just got back from murdering my family. I'm going with Jenny Dell. Vote at WEEI.com!
Promos Promo
There is new episode of The Office this week. But there is NEXT WEEK! Woohaw! For now, this should tide you over. Promo for the new episode, Promos. Someone says Hello, Jim and Pam on the roof, Andy's a sensation and Michael's in the promo! What a great episode this will be!

50 Best Moments of The Office: 49
So many great parts of a more recent Belsnickel scene. He is finally nye! That's what I love about Christmas, the authority. And the fear. Classic Office in season nine.
Do Us A Flavor
Lay's is hosting a competition to decide which new chip gets to stick around as a part of their brand. I voted for Cheesy Garlic Bread, but you could also vote for Sriracha or Chicken and Waffles. Vote at their Facebook page!

50 Best Moments of The Office: 50
There are 50 days remaining of The Office's life. March 27 to May 16, I will be posting one moment, the top 50, each day of The Office! Kind of a sadness countdown. But, it will be fun to relive it all. I told you that I would have big things to celebrate the life of The Office and their final season! Let's kick it off:
SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN! SHUT. UP. ABOUT. THE. SUN! Gotta get the only Gabe moment out of the way, right?
SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN! SHUT. UP. ABOUT. THE. SUN! Gotta get the only Gabe moment out of the way, right?
The Office Cast Talks Finale
The members of The Office cast talked about what is to be expected for the remainder of the final season, including the finale. Jenna Fischer, Greg Daniels, Rainn Wilson, Leslie David Baker, Angela Kinsey and more stopped by the wrap party red carpet to speak of it. There's only a short amount of time remaining of it :(
Tonight Show...with...Jimmy Fallon?
Jay Leno may soon be given the out from the Tonight Show by NBC. And Jimmy Fallon could be promoted to his seat. No more Late Night? It would be awesome for Jimmy! Just take everything about the show and make it earlier in the night. That's all you gotta do! Should be awesomely watchable! By 2014? Just rumors, but likely rumors.

Vacation is Progressing Quite Nicely
The reboot of Vacation has been rumored for a while, but now it seems like...kind of a go. Ed Helms is the likely candidate for Rusty. But, there's news! Chevy Chase and Beverly DeAngelo seem like they'll be in this reboot, reprising their roles! Should be AWESOME.
Original Sign-In Sheet For The Office
Picture this, Hamish Linklater as Jim Halpert. What about Adam Scott? How does Matt Price as Dwight sound? Or Mary Lynn Rajskub as Pam? Luckily, none of that happened. John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson and Jenna Fischer did just fine. But it could have! For auditions on The Office, those people all tried out, according to the sign-in sheet given to Rainn Wilson by producers on the last day. Only Rainn and Jenna made the cut from the sheet. Cool, but scary!
Who Is...Matt Lauer?
As you know, Matt Lauer is awesome. He's great as the host of Today, but it seems like he could be taking over for Alex Trebek on Jeopardy! Anderson Cooper has been approached for the Today job. I don't understand, though, he just got his contract restructured! Oh, well. I love him on Today, but at least he won't be penniless. He'll be the long-term, old, boring host. Yay. (Don't leave)!

The Office: Best Character Championship
Here we are. The championship. The day where you can decide who the greatest character on The Office is. Every character has been eliminated to this point, except for these two. One has gone through Pete, Kelly, Kevin and Michael, a very tough road. The other, Clark, David Wallace, Andy and Pam. Equally as challenging. Now, here we are. The two contenders are James Halpert and Dwight K. Schrute. It's a fitting final. A true rivalry, is it not? We wouldn't Jim to have to face Pam, would we? So, voting is on your right and it ends on the final day of March! Pick your favorite!
Jim Halpert v. Dwight Schrute

Gators to the Sweet Sixteen!
Super Sunshine State Sweet Sixteen Showdown Sous-Saturday. The Gators have crushed Northwestern State and Minnesota en route to arriving in Arlington for the regional semifinal. On Friday, in the last game of the round (they'll play again Sunday in the Elite Eight, if they win), the Florida Gators will square off against 2013's Cinderella, the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, the fifteenth-seed who have made history. However, with Mike Rosario, Kenny Boynton, Erik Murphy, Scotty Wilbekin, Will Yeguette, Patric Young and Casey Prather, it's hard to be skeptical. The Gators could reach the Elite Eight by defeating a 15-seed along the way in consecutive years. In 2013, they could beat a 14-seed, an 11-seed and a 15-seed and make the Elite Eight. It's truly tremendous how they're playing. Hopefully they dance a bit longer! Til April 9, at least, right?

The Upcoming Disney Springs
The latest change that will be made at the Walt Disney World will be the transformation of Downtown Disney to Disney Springs. It is set to open in 2016 (WHAT), but even though it will be a while, it still looks AWESOME! Here are the details!
- Significantly more shopping, dining and entertainment amid beautiful open-air promenades.
- Eclectic and contemporary mix from Disney and other noteworthy brands.

- Includes four outdoor neighborhoods connected by a flowing spring and vibrant lakefront.
- It will feature a new gateway with a signature water tower and grand entry.
- Will feature the Town Center, the Landing, Marketplace and West Side.
- Town Center will have a sophisticated mix of shopping and dining for guests to relax.
- Landing is a colorful and thriving commercial district with beautiful views.
- Marketplace will delight all guests with classic Disney and an expanded World of Disney.
- West Side will provide an exuberant atmosphere with lively entertainment.
- More details will come in the future, construction begins next month and it will open in phases.
Looks so great!
Happy Birthday to The Office!
This is the last birthday that The Office while it is still alive. Eight years ago today, The Office debuted it's Pilot episode and the rest is history. The lore is insane as it goes down as one of the greatest television shows of all-time! Look how young they all look. Oh, how the time flies.
Star Wars Bracket
There really are lots of brackets. I can't complain though. I love them. There's now a Star Wars bracket to determine the greatest character! I'm saying it goes to Han Solo v. Darth Vader. Vote at StarWars.com!

Billy on the Street Trading Cards
Billy Eichner made trading cards for all of the biggest stars of Billy on the Street! My favorite is pictured and you can check the rest out at the Billy on the Street website. See everyone from the Pack of Wild Lesbians to Haley to Elena to Edna! Go Mr. Singh. These are hilarious.
Old Spice Does Homework
For a day, Old Spice changed their account and every part of their account to a wolf that kind of spoke choppy English. Pretty cool in itself, right? Well, then people submitted homework problems that they were stuck on and the wolf did it for them! HOW GREAT IS THAT? This was all on Twitter, b-t-dubs.
Chuck Movie?
Personally, I am perfectly content with the way Chuck ended. However, it's not like I wouldn't see a Chuck movie. I mean, come on. Anyway, Zachary Levi has said that he wants a Chuck movie and that he has plenty of ideas for one. There's nothing in the works, but Zachary Levi said that if the producers and Warner Bros., were up for it, he'd be in. I'd be in too. I'd be in too.

The Greatest Play in NFL History
Has yet to be determined. Lo and behold, NFL.com (vote there, if you wish) is holding a BRACKET (surprise, surprise, but I don't mind) to determine which play is the best! No Patriots plays remain, so I'll vote for the Immaculate Reception. How about you?
Steps to the Title
The Orlando Magic are probably my favorite NBA team, with the Celtics close behind. This season has not gone too well for the Magic. However, Josh Cohen has the five steps in the timeline that the Magic must take to win the title. I like this plan, build around Jameer:
- Pick the Right Guy For This Year's Top Five Draft Pick Choice
- Continue to Develop Vucevic, Harkless, Nicholson and Harris
- The 2014 NBA Draft Could Vault the Magic Back Into Title Contention
- Keep An Eye on the Free Agency Class of 2014
- Get Commitments from Currently Non-Committal Players
If you want, read the full article at the Orlando Magic website.

The Office: Best Character Final Four
We've gotten down to the almost end. Of course it comes down to the four main characters. Jim and Kevin, Pam and Creed, Dwight and Andy. Those were hard enough. I don't know how to choose between these! This is tough! Good luck voting (on the right)!
Michael Scott v. Jim Halpert
Dwight Schrute v. Pam Beesly (Halpert)

Dwight Schrute v. Pam Beesly (Halpert)
They Make Brackets for Anything Now
But you don't see me complaining! McDonald's is hosting a Dollar Value Menu tournament. Each of their value menu, one dollar options is going to head to head. Will you vote for the McDouble? The Vanilla Cone? Boy, I do love March and all of their brackets!

Supersize The Office!
Not too long ago, OfficeTally was looking for ways to convince NBC to supersize The Office series finale on May 16 from one hour to two! I suggested this:
It makes sense. 1600 Penn ends their season on March 28, Parks and Rec ends on May 2 and Community on May 9. This gives The Office a lot of time to work with. If not a two-hour finale (which they could do, it would just be re-runs otherwise), maybe a one-hour, pre-show retrospective like LOST had? Anyway, sign the petition, please! Together, we can do this! It'll be hard, but it's worth it if it's longer.
That's what she said.
@officetally @hawthornflame change.org???They listened to my idea! There's now a petition on Change.org that you can sign to supersize it. (Five more votes needed). Greg Daniels said that he will "beg Bob Greenblatt for more time" and that he "liked the footage." Rainn Wilson tweeted about the petition, along with TVLine and E!

The Ragtime Gals Bring Sexy Back
Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is just so great. It always has the funniest, musical-est, most unique segments on the show. It's like a talk variety. This is no different. Jimmy Fallon, Justin Timberlake and more sing a barbershop quartet version of Sexy Back. Awesome! And how about those coats?
The Most Hated College Basketball Player Ever
Grantland (you can vote there), has been hosting the most hated NCAA player of all-time bracket. An actual bracket related to NCAA. How about that? Anyway, I'm glad JJ Redick did not get chosen, but it has come down to Tyler Hansborough and Chrisitan Laettner. Of course, it's Duke and UNC. Anyway, I'm going with the man on the left. How about you? Thank you, Bill Simmons.

R.I.P Google Reader
If I'm being completely honest, I forgot to check Google Reader for a while. I checked it in December, but after that I just forgot. Anyway, it was a convenient way to check news and updates from online pals. Too bad it has to go, but all good things must come to an end, right Brett Favre? There's a new-type one called Feedly that you can use. My father does, I believe. Silly Google. Why end something that worked. Ah, well. Farewell, Reader!
Thank You, Wes Welker and Danny Woodhead
I'm not going to bring up bitter times (the ignoring of Woodhead, the disrespect to Welker, the Super Bowl drop). What I am going to bring up is the awesome service that was brought to the Patriots by these two miniature white guys that Belichick probably had chained up in his basement. Now he has Amendola (welcome), but that's a different story. I will miss these two greatly. I wish they were re-signed, but we will constantly have fond memories of their awesome performances for the New England Patriots. I wish you guys were still here, but I wish you good luck in Denver and San Diego. Bye, you two were so skilled and awesome and good and it just sucks. It's too bad!
STOP DOING NEW THINGS
I'm sorry. That was irrational. Of course, the stars of The Office should do new things. I'm just broken up because they won't be doing The Office anymore. At least Angela's doing a comedy. Dwight's doing a drama and Pam's doing a play. I wonder what Jim will do...Anyway, Jenna Fischer is making her stage debut in Neil LaBute's play, Reasons to be Happy. The play opens June 11. Angela Kinsey will play Rob Riggle's wife on the new FOX comedy, The Gabriels. Rainn Wilson will play a Swedish cop on the new CBS drama, Backstrom. That's about it for new casting for The Office cast. More will come, I am sure, but I am just uncertain as to what and sad as to, it's really just over. No more Dwight, now Rainn is a Swedish cop. Huh. That's weird...

Boston Irish Pub Showdown
There's always a great quantity of brackets in March. Why not relate it to Irish culture and the city of Boston? Boston.com recently hosted a five-day long, 32-pub bracket to find Boston's best Irish bar! Congrats to JJ Foley's! Sorry I didn't post earlier. If it makes you feel better, I forgot to vote too. Still cool, though!
New NBC Culinary Game Show
The show is called Food Fighters and it will air in the summer! It will be a top notch amateur home cook facing off against six professional chefs from all over the world. They will rely on their own recipes, but can use three food "lifelines" as the pro chefs try to cook what the amateur is. The completed meals will be blindly tested by food judges known as, "The Dinner Party." If the amateur wins, they are awarded some money and climb the ladder to each new pro chef and they try to keep getting more money with each rung or level. If the chef wins, the battle is over. Everyone's signature recipe will be put to the test. Oh, yeah, one more thing. IT'S HOSTED BY THE LEGENDARY, ADAM FREAKIN' RICHMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOOD GAME SHOW. NBC. ADAM RICHMAN!!!!! HOLY MOTHER OF A SON THIS SHOW WILL BE AMAZING!
Speaking of Adam Richman, he's writing a new cookbook! A new show, new book. How great is this?!

My Official 2013 March Madness Bracket
Of course the Gators are my champions! I feel shaky at some parts in this, (Creighton over Duke, Bucknell over Miami, Montana over Syracuse, etc). Although, overall, I think it's a solid bracket. Counting on McDermott, Brooks, Zeller and Young. Let's go!!!!

The Office is Done Filming
Today is the end of an era. The era will end again on March 16, but today, filming has stopped for The Office. That's it. No more filming. They're all done. The cast is done. So are the sets. All good things must come to an end, right, Brett Favre? Wow. This is tough. I can't describe it in words to you. I'll let The Office cast's tweets help you, because I honestly can't talk about this.
This is too hard.

Official Grown Ups 2 Poster
This is a fun poster. Notice that Rob Schneider is absent. It's too bad, he was a good catalyst in the film. Anyway, we're halfway to the film! The four steps to the release is the teaser poster, official poster, teaser trailer and official trailer. Maybe they'll skip the teaser trailer altogether! Anyway, my favorite part is not the four great actors, but the water coming up from the bottom. That is a sign of a great, summer comedy! Looking forward to it!

The Farm Review
*SPOILERS*
- I wish they had explained why Oscar got the red dirt and no one else didn't. Including Angela. I get Jim, though.
- Oh, Mose, how I love and will miss you. I guess that was his send-off. That last run past the camera.
- I guess that was Todd Packer's send-off too. Didn't think he would return. I'm glad that he did, though.
- I liked the descriptions. "You had black hair and then gray hair." "Anyone mention her height? How about her land?"
- The Schrutes are a strange bunch with odd customs. Would have made for a strange show. Would have been intriguing, but I think I am glad that Dwight will go out with The Office.
- That nephew was strange.
- The shooting of the corpse was morbid, but pretty funny.
- Oh, silly Creed. You're not an accountant.
- I hope Dwight throws beaks at Angela. Then, she crushes them. I hope so. I hope so...
- I guess Dwight was the cool one in the Schrutes.
- Dwight's comment on nostalgia is where I hope the rest of the season goes. I want nostalgia more than anything. It truly does have an effect on people.
- WLHUNG. The return of the Pack-Man's license plate!
- What a terrible person Packer is.
- I loved the scenes with Andy and Kevin. He was more likable in this episode. Hope that stays with him.
- I loved Dwight's condescending attitude to the nephew was awesome. The handshake and the "Did you just ask me if this was a cow?" So funny.
- Now, The Office returns either April 4 or April 18. I am not sure which. But I cannot wait. Home stretch now...
- Filming ends tomorrow. :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
The Return of Mickey Mouse Shorts!
Disney will reportedly begin to create some more Mickey Mouse short cartoons, just like in the old days! This is actually a great idea. Maybe they'll do some Goofy 'How-To' Shorts? Hopefully. The old intro thing with the publication card is there too! Disney says he will star in new shorts with classic comedy, contemporary flair. Czech out the first, Croissant de Triomphe:
Saturday Night Live Five-Timers Club
Let's be honest, the awesome skit with Justin Timberlake may have featured the return of the club, but it really was the SNL legends club. It was awesome, nostalgic and downright incredible! View it, right hither:

How to Be Fearless, with Billy Eichner
Co.Create wrote an article that contained an interview with Billy Eichner about his fearlessness and rising stardom. Here's an excerpt from the piece:
"A lot of people in Hollywood, and everywhere pretty much, operate on fear. No one wants to get fired, so everyone’s scared to take a chance. There’s money involved, and there are careers and reputations on the line. It can really pay to take a chance, though, and that’s how I operate. I’ll go up to a threatening-looking man and ask if he wants to have sex with other guys. I haven’t given a shit ever. I care deeply about my show, but in terms of what people are going to think—"Is it too edgy? Is it too obscure? Is it too gay?"—I never think about that. I think, “Is this funny? Is this smart? Is this worth people’s time?" If it is, it’s worth the risk."

DeAndre Jordan: Dunk of the Year?
Holy throw down, Batman! The Clippers are known as Lob City. This means that Jordan Crawford and Chris Paul can always be counted on to hook Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan up with slams. Blake always steals the show and the attention, but Jordan topped him this year. Presenting, 2013's dunk of the year:
Poor Brandon Knight. Ruined on the play.

Madden 14 Cover Vote
SportsNation also has an annual tournament. It's the decision on who should be on the next cover of Madden. This year, each team has a modern and a classic representative. The Patriots boast Rob Gronkowski and Tedy Bruschi. My vote goes to Bruschi. Avoid the Madden curse, even though it was broken by Calvin Johnson last year. You can vote at SportsNation's Facebook page!
Hulu | Best in Show 2013
Hulu's annual best TV show competition has returned. Unfortunately, The Office has already been eliminated because people are confused as to quality. However, the reigning champion, Community, is still in the mix! They're facing New Girl, though. My vote still goes to Community. You can give your vote at the Hulu website.

The Hangover Part III - Trailer and Poster
This is, personally, one of my most anticipated movies of 2013. I think that it won't be able to top the first, but it will be streets ahead of the second because it's a different plot. It's the same old formula/recipe. It's a whole new ballgame. Plus, both of these are awesome:
Harry Potter parody? Las Vegas burning to the ground? Giraffe decapitation? It seems it will end where it all began. I think we'll find why they truly are the three best friends that anyone could have.

Shanghai Disneyland Projection
The first model image of the Shanghai Disneyland was revealed recently. It's slated to open by the end of 2015. This one's actually a pretty cool and unique concept. You get all the classic and awesome Disney rides, but with a twist. The castle, which is usually the centerpiece of the primary Disney parks in each city, will be in the background and all attractions will be in front of the castle. It's always looming. Neat idea. I don't plan on going to China anytime soon, but, you know, still cool.
The Least Powerful People in Sports
Recently, Sports Illustrated had their inaugural issue of the most powerful people in sports. Sports Pickle has their LEAST powerful people. My top five were:
- Cooper Manning
- Columbus Blue Jackets Backup Goalie, Steve Mason
- Mark Sanchez
- Fantasy Sports Columnists
- Tennis Channel CEO Ken Solomon
The overall top five were:
- WNBA Commissioner Laurel Richie
- Mark Sanchez
- Miami Marlins marketing staffers
- JaMarcus Russell
- Cooper Manning
It's pretty humorous. You can vote at the Sports Pickle. Love when they do that kind of thing.

Timberwolves Harlem Shake
As we all know, the Miami Heat made this pretty great Harlem Shake video:
Before they played the Timberwolves, Minnesota made this pretty great Harlem Shake video:
Good, old-fashioned, NBA fun.

Dustin Pedroia Speaks Out About PEDs
His name is perfect for steroids. PEDroida. Honestly, it really is perfect for it. However, we are fortunate enough to know that the Laser Show is not on any drugs. He has some words about it though. Pedroia spoke out about it. He said he's on board with hiking the penalties. Read the full article about all of what Dustin said about steroids on the Boston Globe. I like it!

Billy Eichner on Bob's Burgers
If you haven't noticed, today, there have been a lot of posts about Billy Eichner because it's National Billy Eichner day. At least on this blog it is. You can tell he's the next big thing. Billy on the Street. Then Late Night. Then The Soup. Then Bob's Burgers. He's getting interviewed. Celebs love him. Over 100,000 Twitter followers. He made it. It's Billy-Mania. How crazy will this get? The crazier, the better! Anyway, there's no clip yet, but you can find the episode on the FOX website and Hulu.
Billy Eichner on The Soup
This is better quality. The hilariously awesome Billy Eichner stopped by The Soup with the awesome Joel McHale. They discuss Duck Dynasty. Enjoy the hell out of this:
Billy Eichner on Late Night
Sorry about the terrible quality, but it's all I could find. This is the awesome Billy Eichner playing Quizzed in the Face from Billy on the Street on Late Night with the awesome Jimmy Fallon. It's funny and then they have to ask an Asian. That's when it gets hilarious.
