The Office Premier

           Last night I watched the premier of  "The Office". In last night's premier, everyone was coming back to work from summer vacation and talking about what they did over the break. Rain Wilson, who plays “Dwight”, has previously written a psychology book
called “Soul Pancake” and has been seen in movies like “My super ex-girlfriend” and on shows like “Law & Order” and “Monk”. The highlight of Dwight's summer was creating a new type of energy drink made of beets. Ed Helms, most famous for his role in “The Hangover” and “The Hangover part 2” as well as his voice in “The Lorax”, plays Andy Bernard who in this episode is the new boss of the office. Andy has spent his summer at an “Outward Bound” adventure he was sent on to ready and mature him for his upcoming position as the new boss. In my opinion, I don't think the trip worked all that well because he still acts like quite a little kid when he comes back. Poor Kevin, played by Brian Baumgartner from “ Licensed to Wed” and “Four Christmases”, ran over a turtle and after failing over and over again to fix his crushed shell, realizes that the turtle's been dead the whole time. Jenna Fischer from “Blades of Glory” and “Hall Pass”, plays Pam Halpert. Pam and her new husband Jim, played by John Krasinski as seen in “Away We Go” and “It's Complicated”, have spent just an average summer at home with the kids. When Pam mentions that their life probably won't be exciting for a while, Jim looks a little worried but doesn't say anything right away.

            Two “new guys” have begun working at the office and have been nicknamed “Dwight Jr.” and “The New Jim”. At first, Dwight is alright with, and strangely excited about the idea of having a “son” at the office but when Dwight Jr. asks him for a list of his clients, all hell breaks loose as Dwight is convinced his job is in jeopardy. The situation isn't much helped when Andy brings in a slack-line for everyone to walk across and Dwight is outshone by his look-a-like.

Angela's new baby is allergic to her cat and she holds countless “interviews” for prospective adopters. Meanwhile, Jim is still pondering this new 'boring life' and decides, without first talking to Pam, to accept a job offer in Philadelphia. Will this bring a little excitement into their lives? Or just plain trouble?
