TWO webisodes premier tomorrow!

This from the official NBC press release:

NBC’s hit comedy “The Office” (Thursdays, 9:30 – 10:00 p.m. ET, moving to 8:30-9:00 p.m. ET in the fall) goes digital when the first two of 10, original stand-alone webisodes premiere on NBC.com on Thursday, July 13.

In the first webisode, each about two-three minutes, the Dunder Mifflin accountants — Angela (Angela Kinsey), Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) and Oscar (Oscar Nuñez) — discover that $3000 is missing from the Scranton office, and no one is above suspicion as the crack team of numbers crunchers tries to solve the mystery — before turning on each other.

Then, in the second webisode, while the accountants suspect that Michael is responsible for the theft, they have to question the other staffers first, beginning with Phyllis (Phyllis Smith). Rainn Wilson, Melora Hardin, Kate Flannery, Leslie David Baker and David Denman also star.

Find both episodes at NBC.com tomorrow …

Watch for The Office to come home

This just in from the Wilkes Barre Times-Leader:

While it’s just in the rumor stages, the word on the street is that the cast of the Emmy-nominated “The Office” may descend upon its “hometown” of Scranton to shoot some scenes … it might involve footage of the lively St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Well, you know that Angela probably won’t attend the parade — she thinks green is whorish. ;)

This news is pretty much in line with what we knew already. I’ll add this little nugget to the Season 3 post.
