I approach this letter as if I was writing the eulogy for a friend who has recently passed on. While I know that this is one instance where my “friend” will eventually crawl out of their grave and come knocking on my door, I am still in a period of mourning. Even when you know your friend will be coming back, it is still painful to think about being without them. And that is what The Office is to me, in a way…a wonderful friend. I’m constantly developing deep (bordering on psychotic) ties to certain television shows, so it’s no real surprise to me how deeply affected by the writer’s strike I am. However, to really come to terms with the extended hiatus of The Office, I need to write this letter and say my goodbyes.
Goodbye Michael. I will miss your offensive remarks, your idiotic actions and your perpetual inability to act like an adult. Even now, I must suppress an urge to scream “that’s what she said.” I will miss your sweetness and your desperate need to be loved by all. Yes, Michael, you are needy…accept it. And I’m still doing my best to locate your missing turtles. It doesn’t look good though.

The kiss we were all waiting for

In the decades since television shows invaded the subconscious of the average American viewer, there have been hundreds of thousands of TV couples. Lucy and Desi. Captain Nelson and Jeannie. Ross and Rachel. There are great romances, there are disasterous romances, and the most addictive of all...the "will they/won't they" romances. It's one of the classic hooks of television shows; two people who seem destined to be together, but can never quite make it work. So, what makes the relationship between fictional characters Pam and Jim on The Office, different from all those other relationships? To understand the lure of the Pam and Jim romance, you must start at the beginning. Not just at the beginning of the show, but at the beginning of Pam and Jim's relationship. If you are a dedicated Office viewer, you will refer to them simply as JAM...an affectionate nickname developed through Internet chat rooms and blogs.
Jim is a salesman at Dunder-Mifflin, a paper supply company located in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He has worked there for over five years and, despite comments that he would have to throw himself in front of train if this became his career, continues to resist...

On the forums I have been hearing a lot of anti-James Gunn comments. Yes, we all know John Krasinski is a lot cuter than James Gunn and yes, it would be very cute if John and Jenna were indeed dating. But in reality James and Jenna have been together for a long time and it would be unrealistic to have hopes that Jenna will divorce the dork an go for the hunk.
James Gunn and Jenna Fischer have been happily married since fall of 2000, about a year before Jenna even started working with John. I think what most people are missing here is that actors DO have lives other than the lives in their hit roles.
Jenna Fischer met James Gunn through her life-long freind Sean Gunn and the story was very Jim/Pam like. John Krasinski may be single, but if wanted to find a girlfriend I'm sure he would have no problem at all.
Hope this article didn't ruin any dreams you had for Jenna and John, but anything is possible. I would be just as excited as anyone else who reads this if Jenna and John were going out...I'm just saying its very unlikely.
