I Want a Dunder-Mifflin Snow Globe!

It's pretty safe to say that I was over the moon about The Office taking home the Best Comedy statuette at the Emmy Awards on Sunday. Not since Arrested Development's win has the TV Academy got it so right. But let's just hope that, unlike the Bluths, the gang at Dunder-Mifflin actually gets some audience appreciation after the win. Because I seriously can't deal with another brilliant comedy series getting the axe while Two and a Half Men is still on the air. Sorry, folks.

If you haven't already caught the penultimate webisode of The Office: The Accountants (and why not), it's up at NBC.com, with the final webisode posting next week. This week ("Michael's Office") finds Angela (Angela Kinsey), Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) and Oscar (Oscar Nunez) sneaking into Michael's office to snoop through this belongings in the hopes of finding something suspicious to nail the theft of the missing $3000 on him.

But alas, all they discover are a series of objects both familiar and mundane: a certificate of authenticity for a SEIKO timepiece, a megaphone, and the return of that wooden train whistle from "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day." But the big find has got to be an entire desk drawer filled with adorable Dunder-Mifflin snow globes. (I want one!) The gang logs onto Quicken and sees that all of Michael's last purchases have been at a joke and magic shop but Angela nicely (how very suspiciously out of character for her) pays Michael's electric bill as "they're about to turn it off." So will this crime-solving trio confront Michael next week? Well, Angela might have to as Oscar and Kevin left her in the lurch at the end of the webisode. If anyone can blindly accuse someone of a crime without any evidence, it's Angela. That is, unless Dwight manages to convince her not to...

On another note, NBC.com also has a video of Angela Kinsey preparing for the Emmy Awards, with the help of Mindy Kaling (Kelly), Phyllis Smith (Phyllis), Kate Flannery (Meredith), and Brian Baumgartner (Kevin). Though I wouldn't really say that Michael helped her out too much; if anything, it was the other way round at the Carolina Herrera/John Varvatos sunglass suite. It's six minutes of Angela being adorable rather than authoritarian and a fun little piece on the whirlwind week of momentous decisions (which shade of red nail polish should Angela choose?) that go into preparing for the Emmys.

And the end result? The entire cast looks like a million dollars. Hmmm. So maybe that's where that missing Dunder-Mifflin money went...

Have a Burning Question for Team Darlton, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, or Michael Emerson?

Lost fans: you don't have to make your way to the island via Ajira Airways in order to ask a question of the creative team or the series' stars. Televisionary is taking questions from fans to put to Lost 's executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and stars Matthew Fox ("Jack Shephard"), Evangeline Lilly ("Kate Austen"), and Michael Emerson ("Benjamin Linus") for a series of on-camera interviews taking place this weekend. If you have a specific question for any of the above producers or actors from Lost , please leave it in the comments section below . I'll be accepting questions until midnight PT tonight and, while I can't promise I'll be able to ask any specific inquiry due to the brevity of these on-camera interviews, I am looking for some insightful and thought-provoking questions to add to the mix. So who knows: your burning question might get asked after all.

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

In Defense of Downton Abbey (Or, Don't Believe Everything You Read)

The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating. Which means, if I can get on my soapbox for a minute, that in order to judge something, one ought to experience it first hand. One can't know how the pudding has turned out until one actually tastes it. I was asked last week--while I was on vacation with my wife--for an interview by a journalist from The Daily Mail, who got in touch to talk to me about PBS' upcoming launch of ITV's period drama Downton Abbey , which stars Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie Smith, Dan Stevens, Elizabeth McGovern, and a host of others. (It launches on Sunday evening as part of PBS' Masterpiece Classic ; my advance review of the first season can be read here , while my interview with Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes and stars Dan Stevens and Hugh Bonneville can be read here .) Normally, I would have refused, just based on the fact that I was traveling and wasn't working, but I love Downton Abbey and am so enchanted with the proj
