The Office - newpeats

So tonight is an hour of The Office. It is not a new episode, but rather two old episodes merged into one. The two episodes are: Traveling Salesmen & The Return. Both great episodes by themselves. The buzz is that both have been re-edited into one longer "episode". Some of the deleted scenes are being added back and some other scenes are being cut. This will allow for some of the extra storylines to be viewed. I read on one of the Office sites recently that Greg Daniels (the exec. producer) has said that to the writers even the deleted scenes are valid. He said that to them if they are written and taped then they assume it happened. This helps with writing for future episodes.

It will be nice to see a "new" version of the episodes tonight. It will also explain to some people where Andy went (those who didn't watch the Director's cut online) for the last few weeks.

Now it just begs the question: Which version will make it on the Season 3 DVD? Or will they combine it all into one longer version? Oh, I hope so. :) This season's DVD could be awesome!
