Here we are again! That time of year where we argue with our families, eat too much turkey, and limber up for the 3 am mall openings on Black Friday. I'm talking, of course, about Thanksgiving. Or, as we call it these days, pre-Christmas. However, before this holiday of pumpkin pies and parades became the warm-up for the Christmas season, it was a time for friends and family to get together and give thanks for the blessings of their life. So, in honor of that tradition, I present the five things I'm thankful for . . . in television, that is.

The return of Jim to the Scranton branch on The Office: I'll admit that I was beginning to lose my love for the NBC comedy at the beginning of the season. With Jim over in Stamford the show just didn't have the same feel to it. Add to that my growing interest in Ugly Betty on ABC, which aired at the same time. However, after Jim's return to Scranton last week I will be setting the DVR for The Office once again. It will be interesting to see how the Jim-Karen-Pam relationship pans out in the next few episodes.
