I'd say that out of all of these, I'm most excited for The Office. I don't know what happened with the other shows, but I know that The Office was hurt by the writer's strike and only had 14 episodes instead of 25. That wasn't nearly enough of that show for me! I'm looking forward to getting some answers!
ReplyDeleteIn addition to the awesomeness that season 5 will bring, we'll also get to the see who won the Tide To Go talking stain contest! I work for Tide and what we did was ask people to send in their own spoof of the talking stain ad. The finalists are over at www.tidetogo.com/ads and the winner can be seen during the premiere of The Office on Thursday.
Definitely check those out and let me know what you think! I'd be interested in hearing which one your favorite was/who you think is going to win. Feel free to email me! Especially if you have any questions!
Thanks!
Mandy Jacobs :)
