Pam & Jim Go Ape Crazy??
The OFFICE Season Premiere!!

I am – Hercules!!

Thursday night brings the season premieres of “CSI,” “ER,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “My Name Is Earl.” And there are new episodes of “Survivor” and “Celebrity Duets” and “Deal or No Deal.”

But “The Office” premiere gets this post. Because it’s the best sitcom on network TV. And it won the Emmy. And somebody emailed me asking for it.

I add only a reminder that if you can’t find a discussion forum for your favorite show here on Herc’s Horny Little Corner of the Internets, you can now make your own. Mr. Harry Knowles invested much time and expense to forge AICN’s The Zone, which allows any reader to set up his or her own exciting thread or join one of the many already in progress. Plus? Smells nicer in there!

Herc's pal Jane Espenson has a brainiac comedy-writer boyfriend who wrote a book about "Jeopardy”!! Read the great reviews and buy it!! Jane’s all over chapters 14 and 19!!
