The Office and Parks and Recreation Shockers: A Baby Bomb and Secret Lovers! What Did You Think?
NBC's Thursday nights are not known for their jaw-dropping plot twists or shocking storylines. Usually they just make us laugh every week, and we've always been satisfied with that arrangement.
But last night, as quiet as a ninja, both The Office and Parks and Recreation slipped in two scandalous storylines that could certainty play out for the rest of the season…
EXCLUSIVE!
The Office Sneak Peek: New Feud Brewin'?
"I hate so much about the things you choose to be."
It's one of the most famous quotes from The Office, said by Michael Scott (Steve Carell) to Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein), and it represented the great feud between the two men. It was one of the best parts of The Office when Carell was still on (sob!), but in our exclusive clip from this week's episode, there very well might be another Toby feud brewing…with Jim!

Rainn Wilson Drops Details on "Crazy" Office Spinoff for Dwight!
For the first time, Rainn Wilson confirmed today that an Office spinoff with his character Dwight Schrute is currently in the very early stages of development at NBC. So what does he think of it?
"That is the worst idea I've ever heard in my life!" he told our E! pal Giuliana Rancic while on the red carpet for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. "Spinoffs never work! Don't people know that?! Why would people think that would ever work, especially for a character as annoying as Dwight Schrute?"
Wait...Is he serious?
BREAKING!
Office Spinoff in the Works With Rainn Wilson!
Here's some news that can't be "beet."
And that horrid pun aside, this is a pretty stunning—and surprising!—development. Sources confirm that NBC is in the early stages of planning an Office spinoff with Rainn Wilson based on his character Dwight Schrute and his beet farm.
Did anyone else see that coming?
So what are the details? When will we see it?
Did a Bearded Steve Carell Really Make a Surprise Cameo in The Office?
He's baaack...or is he?
Viewers of The Office did double takes last week (thank god for TiVo) when, during the trivia game-themed episode, the camera briefly zoomed in on one particular member of the opposing team—and couldn't help but notice, beneath the suspiciously hirsute beard, out-of-control eyebrows and slicked-back hair, an uncanny resemblance between the glorified extra and one Michael Scott.
Sneaky, sneaky. But was that really Steve Carell?
Bridesmaid No More: Office Star Ellie Kemper Is Engaged!
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride?
Not if you're Ellie Kemper!
The actress, who plays Erin Hannon on The Office and costarred in the hit flick Bridesmaids, is getting ready to walk down the aisle herself.
Watch Now: Maura Tierney Checks In to The Office to Cause Some Tension!
Mrs. Robert Calfornia (James Spader) is coming to Dunder Mifflin, y'all!
While we're extremely stoked for Maura Tierney's guest appearance as Susan California on The Office, it seems like her TV husband is less than thrilled by her presence in his workspace. Unfortunately, new boss Andy (Ed Helms) finds himself caught in the middle, which leads to some pretty hilariously awkward tension among the trio.
So why is Robert so down on the idea of Susan working at Dunder Mifflin?

Ricky Gervais Back on Office Duty and Bringing the Funny!
Ricky Gervais is back!
No, we're not referring to the big announcement last week that the funnyman will be returning to host the Golden Globes in January. (Although that, in and of itself, is pretty cool.)
Rather, we're talking about today's release of The Office: Special Edition, a new DVD set celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the series that ran in the U.K. from 2001-03 and inspired another little program here in the states (and elsewhere) by the same name.
Sure, the episode clip above reminds us how the series was both groundbreaking and hysterical. But in an exclusive first look at one of the collection's special features, it's revealed that it definitely took viewers awhile to get used to the show's documentary-style format. See what we mean after the jump!
Divorce in TV Land! Ugly Betty Babe Divorcing Mentalist Hottie!
In today's big Hollywood splits we have Lucy Davis (Ugly Betty and the original U.K. version of The Office) and The Mentalist man Owain Yeoman pulling the plug on their marriage.
Davis filed divorce papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court earlier this month.
And what did she blame the split on?
Watch Now: Community, Parks and Rec and The Office Halloween Previews!
If we trust anybody to do a Halloween episode justice, it's NBC's Community, Parks and Rec and The Office. And based on these clips from tonight's lineup, we will not be disappointed.
Jeff and Annie fans are in for a treat in the Community clip, plus Ben has a big ol' stick up his butt about a Halloween party on Parks and Rec. And why does Robert California bring Kelly nearly to tears?
