Sterling Mifflin: If Mad Men Met The Office

BuzzSugar — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:30:00 -0800

What if the Dunder Mifflin universe collided with the Sterling Cooper universe? Honestly, sometimes the workplaces on Mad Men and The Office are eerily similar - in an upside down time warp kind of way. Check out my slideshow of how the show's characters match up to each other in my bizarro comparison of Sterling Mifflin (or Dunder Cooper). Photos courtesy of AMC and NBC

Fall TV Showdown: Five Toughest Trade-Offs

BuzzSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:44:37 -0700

The good news: your TV schedule is about to get a big boost when Fall TV kicks into high gear (download my calendar to keep track), bringing back new episodes of established series and premieres of new favorites. The bad news: there's not enough room in the TV schedule for everything, and you're going to have to make some very difficult decisions on what to watch each night. Check out my picks for what will be the hardest shows to choose between.

Comic-Con Round-Up

BuzzSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 07:30:05 -0700

I've been reporting from Comic-Con these past few days, but here's a hodgepodge of random extra bits and pieces from my weekend.

There was a panel I basically happened to attend by accident, which ended up being for this spooky-looking movie The Wolf Man, due in theaters April 3, 2009. Then, to everyone's surprise, the stars of the film, Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt, came onstage to talk about it. I'll post the trailer soon, so more on the movie itself later, but for now, how cute is this picture?!
The writers of The Office spoke to a packed house on Saturday, and while the 11 people on the panel (12 if you count moderator Rainn Wilson) felt like a few too many, there were plenty of funny moments, especially from BJ Novak, Michael Schur, and Mindy Kaling. I particularly liked this part of Novak's answer about why he likes writing for Michael Scott: "It's so interesting to see someone with authority be so innocent and so wrong."
Also a winner from that panel: Schur's description of how Dwight would act in the event of an actual robot invasion. "He would cross his arms in the middle of the street as the robots marched down the street, shaking his head and saying 'I told you so!'"
Yeah, the Heroes screening and Hugh Jackman appearance were cool - but one of my other favorite panels of the weekend was much, much smaller. On Friday, I got to hear some of the original voice actors from the classic Peanuts specials talk about what it was like to put together shows like A Charlie Brown Christmas and Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown. Several of the specials will be out on remastered, special-feature-laden DVDs this Fall, and I can't wait! Eventually, they're hoping to bring all the specials (more than 40 of them!) to DVD.
Also, some of the best trivia of the whole weekend came out of that panel: Did you know Fergie was once the voice of Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally? (For more Peanuts trivia, check out today's Brainteaser!)

To find out Seth Rogen's latest dirty comment and to see Zachary Levi's hand in a compromising position, read more.

Friday night’s bawdy session about Zack and Miri Make a Porno was moderated by Kevin Smith and included Seth Rogen, Elizabeth Banks, Traci Lords, and several others. The clip from the movie was pretty funny, mostly because of Rogen’s mugging and sarcasm. He's clearly cut out for Kevin Smith's style of comedy. At the panel, Elizabeth Banks had a funny comment when asked about what it was like to play Laura Bush after doing Zack and Miri: "Playing Laura Bush, it’s really just like playing a porn star. Just the hair is different." Rogen followed up with, "She wouldn’t even have to change her name." Yipes!
At the Chuck panel, moderator Kristin Dos Santos tried to get Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez to repeat their 2007 feat of demonstrating an, er, compromising sexual position for the audience. They wouldn't do it - but did agree to reenact the moment with hand puppets. (See gallery for the image.)
Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, and Jessica Hynes from Spaced were all over Comic-Con, doing interviews (stay tuned for mine!), panels, and signings to promote the US release of the complete series on DVD. They screened three beloved episodes on Friday night: "Art," "Epiphanies," and "Gone," the one with the finger gun fights. And, speaking of finger gun fights, they kicked off the screening with a gigantic one - Pegg speculated it was their biggest ever - with about 1,000 people participating.
Another smaller but still very cool moment of the trip came in the panel where several Disney artists showed how they created the storyboards for Bolt, the film about a TV superdog who thinks his powers are real. I'm still not sold on John Travolta as the voice of Bolt, but the drawings were adorable (see gallery) and the writing in the sequence we saw, in which some cats torture Bolt in his trailer, was totally clever.
The panel for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was fun, but for some reason I thought it would be more so. One of the coolest parts was that Damon Lindelof, executive producer of Lost moderated the panel, and is apparently a huge fan of Always Sunny. Also, little trivia: Rob McElhenney ("Mac" on the show) once played an Other on Lost.
The final celebrity of my trip: Red Fraggle! She made a special appearance at Sunday's Fraggle Rock DVD panel to lead the crowd in a sing-along of "The Beatle Song" and a recitation of the Solemn Fraggle Oath ("weeba weeba, woppa woppa, garpox gumbidge, whoopee!"). It should be noted that the vast majority of the crowd was not, in fact, parents with children but folks in their mid-20s, gloriously reliving their childhood. (The hand claps on the first runthrough of the Fraggle Rock theme were completely spontaneous and perfectly in sync.)

Steve Gets Smart (Out Of The Office)

PopSugarUK — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 06:02:31 -0700

Side-splitter Steve Carell's latest movie is Get Smart, in which he stars as a hapless spy alongside Anne Hathaway as his glam, sophisticated partner. I love him in The Office – he makes me cry laughing – so I'm happy to see that a bunch of his co-stars from the show turned up to support his new movie. Jenna Fischer looks absolutely adorable in her blue dress, I wish she had Jim (John Krasinski) on her arm though!

The movie's out in August in the UK, and it looks like a whole bunch of silly fun. Check out the trailer under the cut!

Take a look at some more photos from the premiere as well as the trailer – just read more

Rashida and Sophia Show Off Those Famous Smiles

Molly — Fri, 18 May 2007 17:07:29 -0700

Pam Beasley may be laid out for a little while after her recent tragic spill, but her on-screen nemesis and probably real life friend Rashida Jones (aka, Karen) was out in NYC last night. She and Sophia Bush were showing off their pearly whites for a Rembrandt sponsored party. Speaking of The Office (weren't we?) last night's finale went better than I expected. I'll leave it at that to avoid spoilers, but check out all the juicy stuff here.

The Stars of NBC Today, The Stars of NBC Tomorrow

Molly — Mon, 14 May 2007 23:37:47 -0700

Fall TV may seem like a ways away, but the big line-up news is just getting started. Yesterday afternoon the stars of NBC gathered in NYC to celebrate their shows. The faces of current favorites -- like Heroes and The Office -- graced the red carpet, but inside all eyes were on the new programming. I gotta say, I'm pretty excited to see what fall TV has to offer. Check out previews and stills from NBC's new fall shows, including the Sex and the City inspired Lipstick Jungle, the already buzz-y Traveler and Chuck, the new show from The OC creator plus lots, lots more. Seriously though, how weird does Creed look outside of The Office. Also, how sassy is Jan? Yowza.

To see tons more pics, including Jim and Pam being cute, Jan dressing totally sassy and Hayden's gold number, plus Tina Fey, John Stamos and more just read more
