After last week’s misstep, to put it nicely, “The Office” showed it could rebound with the best of them, offering up a very funny episode that not only brought us Pam back to the office, but also sets up some interesting story lines for the remainder of the season.

A smattering of laughs and a Dwight-Angela plot twist highlight a rather uneven episode of “The Office“. Not even the brief return of cute and loveable Pam could jazz things up Thursday night. Nice work from some of the cast aside, “Jury Duty” failed to keep the momentum going from the previous episode.

As NBC does its very best to wring the absolute most out of The Office that it can in a post-Steve Carell, post-time-when-The-Office-was-actually-good world, this news really shouldn’t come as a surprise—it looks like Dwight Schrute, the sublimely odd office weirdo portrayed by Rainn Wilson on the long-running sitcom, will be getting his own spin-off show. Which should go well, because spin-offs of sitcoms always do gangbuster business, right?
“The Office” was going to put together a solid episode this season sooner or later, and “Pool Party” was definitely it. Maybe it was the ensemble in their bathing suits, or Robert California’s very specific, very x-rated vision for his expensive house, but plenty of positive things were happening in the episode, which resulted in an abundance of laughs.

The eighth season of “The Office” – the first without Steve Carell and his Michael Scott character – has been underwhelming thus far. There have been laughs and strong ensemble work, but the whole thing has been ‘off,’ for lack of a better description. With the holidays behind us, the comedy is back with new episodes, the first being “Trivia,” which gets the second half of the season off to a pretty good start.

2012 is now looming around the corner, and with it comes another year of TV watching (if you’re like us, that is). Unfortunately, though, for every Breaking Bad, Mad Men, or Boardwalk Empire, there are about a dozen clunkers that just keep rolling onward, shows which should have ended years ago. With that in mind, we here at ScreenCrave decided to group together the five TV shows that most desperately need to be put out of their misery. From former classics to programs that were never good to begin with, these are the shows we hope fade to black in 2012.
It’s that time again for another installment of the big holiday party at “The Office“, a time-honored theme that has produced lots of laughs for the series over the years. The first post-Michael Scott holiday party was just as goofy and funny as previous holiday-themed episodes. Perhaps not as legendary as “A Benihana Christmas” from season three, but still darn entertaining.

As with every new year of television, the weakest shows that cost the most money are often cancelled after airing a handful of episodes. For example: this season, we’ve already seen The Playboy Club get shuttered, among others. TV shows are often about the ensemble, and most of their casts need time to work together to see how their chemistry develops over longer stretches of time. With comedies, that energy and chemistry is pivotal, and with so many shows put together through high-concepts or based around a name talent, everyone needs to find their footing. With that in mind, here are five shows that started rocky, and became brilliant.
The Dunder Mifflin paper company from NBC’s The Office is now becoming real paper! In a plot that sounds straight out of, well, The Office, NBC has just signed a deal with a major supplies store, in order to give their paper business a kick by producing Dunder Mifflin paper. We’ve also got a photo of Nicolas Cage on the cover of a piece of unusual material (which, considering it’s Cage, isn’t that unusual at all), and news on Bryan Singer‘s new job (hint: it involves a TV show about a big green man who is neither the Incredible Hulk or the Jolly Green Giant).
