Jim put himself on the line with Pam last year. That didn't work out; he transferred from Scranton. (Who knew that the Stamford office would also be full of loonies? But that only makes it more credible that either branch might be the one forced to close.)
Kudos to the writers for finding a way to put off the number one killer of sitcoms -- the hooking-up of long-unconsummated lovers. Jim appears to be the guy in the office who can't get through the tedium of a day without a little sexual tension.

The Daily Show's Ed Helms has signed on to join the cast of
The Office! For ten episodes, Helms will play one of the Dunder-Mifflin employees. Before Steve Carell left
TDS a few years ago, the two of them worked together as correspondents, I'm really looking forward to seeing them onscreen together once more. However, I hope this new role doesn't mean that Ed's going to leave
TDS... I don't think I'm ready to let another oldie go.
Rashida Jones (
Boston Public) has also signed on to play an employee and Chip Esten (
Whose Line Is It Anyway?) will be returning as his Josh Porter character from the
Valentine's Day episode.

I caught the first episode and another episode, maybe the third or the fourth (I know it wasn't the second ep, "Diversity Day," because I wouldn't have though as I did if I had seen it), and I thought it was unfunny, oddly paced, and would die a quick death like a lot of NBC comedies do.
I'm not quite sure why I thought that way, because re-watching the pilot and the other five episodes from the first season, it's easy to see that this show is remarkably funny, well directed, and an instant classic.
