Wow. So excited for this. The synopsis can only hold me over for so long. Thank goodness that the season premiere is tomorrow! I’m looking forward to getting some answers where season 4 left off! Especially the almost proposal…
I’m also really looking forward to the commercials. No, seriously! Remember that Tide talking stain commercial that first aired during the Super Bowl? So funny. Well, I work at Tide and we had a contest earlier in the year to see who could best spoof the ad. We had some great entries! The finalists can be seen here: http://www.tidetogo.com/ads and the WINNER can be seen during the season premiere of The Office. Should be great!
Thanks for letting me comment on your blog! If you have any questions, feel free to email me! I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks!
