The Office Season 4 Premiere 9/27

[Bulldog]

I just ripped through the S3 DVDs, watching a few episodes, all the deleted scenes, and some other bonus materials, so I'm excited for the S4 premiere.

No spoilers here, although I'm included the first episode preview below in white text. Again, NO SPOILERS, but S4 speculation encouraged. Here are some ideas I have:

We find out David Wallace offered Jim the job but he turned it down, due to Pam of course. No idea where else the Jim & Pam thing is going. We all want to see them together, but is the show as entertaining if they are? Not sure.

I think the Michael and Jan thing has run it's course. I'd be okay with her being gone. And Michael should definitely be on hard times financially or with his living situation, after taking on Jan for some period of time and after "selling" his condo. Maybe he could live in the barn on the beet farm!

Ryan as Michael's boss--quite a bit of potential for funny in that.

Time for a Stanley episode. We had Kelly's celebration and Phyllis' wedding. In fact, we could use a Toby episode as well. Get him a love interest so we can see another side of him.

I have more but I already sound like a crazed fanatic.

Here's the episode preview:

<font color="white">THE RUN FOR THE CURE-SPECIAL ONE-HOUR PREMIERE - A freak accident causes Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) to feel the office is cursed. He explores the religious beliefs of his employees before deciding to hold a charity 5K fun run. Meanwhile, further developments in the romances of Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski), and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Angela (Angela Kinsey) are explored. B.J. Novak, Melora Hardin, Ed Helms, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Oscar Nunez, Phyllis Smith, Paul Lieberstein, Mindy Kaling, Craig Robinson and Creed Bratton also star. </font>

throw in a kevin episode too. he's my favorite. but yea this season should be good as there will be a lot of supersized episodes i believe as scrubs wont be on the thursday night lineup all the time as its a shortened season so a lot of the office drama will see the time of day it needs. and there should be a few laughs in there as well.

Kevin is great in his current dosage, more would be too much.

Creed is where it's at.

[chicken10der]

it's my understanding that the first 4 episodes this season will be hour-long.

lol - did not know that Creed Bratton was the actor's name and that he's playing a "fictionalized version of himself".

Creed spin-off ftw.

Obviously I'm excited, but didn't Vehn post all of this when the Season 3 finale thread was bumped?

I'm thinking of getting a TV basically for this, It's Always Sunny, and football. Justifiable?

I was not subscribed to cable television all summer, and subscribed for these shows plus maybe 1 or 2 others. Football season alone is worth it for me.
