Here is an interview with The Office's writers about season 5. Enjoy!
July 31: OfficeTally interviews The Office writers at Comic-Con
Re: Holiday episodes:
Interviewer: Will you be doing any holiday episodes? A lot of fans miss Christmas, and Halloween …
Greg: We missed it, too. We had such a good Christmas one written, and there is a Halloween episode, or there will be Halloween during an episode, it won’t all be about Halloween, coming up.
Interviewer: For Season 5?
Greg: Yes. (To other writers) What are we doing for Christmas this year? (To Justin) You wrote it, right? (To me) Hang on a second … (Walks over to Justin, and they start whispering out of earshot … gah!)
Interviewer (to Lee): Darn!
Greg: Okay, yeah. It’s the Christmas episode.
Re: Season 5:
Interviewer: I was wondering what, if anything, can you tell me about Season 5? We know that the season premiere is an hour long …
Jen: It is an hour long.
Interviewer: Can you tell me who the writer is?
Jen: Gene [Stupnitsky] and Lee [Eisenberg] wrote it. The Emmy-nominated Gene and Lee now, from ‘Dinner Party.’ And actually, for the first time ever, we’re going to see what happens over the summer. You know how we usually jump forward in terms of the documentary and we skip a gap? We’re going to see the summer. Every act is a different week. So the first episode will be eight weeks long. It’s week 1 of the summer, week 2 of the summer, week 3, week 4, week 5, week 6, week 7, week 8. And it’s weight loss. It’s a group weight loss competition. They’re competing against other branches in a weight loss challenge. And we’re going to check in with them.
Interviewer: Is this episode called “Weight Loss”?
Jen: It’s between being called “Weight Loss” and “Summer.” My guess is it’s going to be called “Weight Loss.”
Interviewer: Will Holly be in the premiere?
Jen: Yup. Holly’s coming back. She’ll definitely be in the premiere. And Jan will have a baby at some point.
Jen: We’re going to have a baby shower. There’s going to be a baby shower for Jan’s baby.
Michael makes the office throw a baby shower for this baby that is not even his.

Ahhh, this interview is just as bad as the last episode! The cliffhangers! The suspense! I can't take it! Only a few more days...
I'm really looking forward to getting some answers! Especially when it comes to Jim and Pam. I want to see them together! I'm so mad at Andy for stealing Jim's moment!
In 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 :)
