It was a perfectly harmonious relationship and a hectic nightmare of a wedding, but through all the typical hijinks, Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert still managed to tie the knot on the highly-anticipated “Office” wedding. Michael, Dwight and the usual cast of characters nearly ruined the day Jim said he’s been waiting for since he met Pam, but the two finally exchanged vows in a not-so dry ceremony a Niagra Falls. The hour- long episode solidified Pam and Jim’s love for one another and gave viewers a climactic ending to their six seasons of flirting. The wedding even has its own Web site featuring a photo gallery, guest list and video diaries by Pam of the days leading up to their nuptials. It’s all a reminder that “The Office” gave us a perfect view of television’s perfect couple.
It was a match-up that pulled people in. Philadelphia vs. New York, the Phillies vs. the Yankees. It didn’t matter if you were wearing navy blue pinstripes, bright red apparel or something in between — the 2009 World Series had everyone glued to their television sets. It took the Yankees six games to beat the Phillies for their 27th World Championship. Outfielder Hideki Matsui walked away with the MVP award after helping the Yanks clinch the series on Nov. 4 going 3 for 4 with a homerun and six RBI’s. There were 39 percent more viewers for this Series than last year, giving the Fall Classic its biggest ratings increase ever. Thanks to Godzilla’s big bat and the rekindling of a rivalry close to home, the 2009 World Series was as good as playoff baseball gets.
The words are infamous now. “Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!” When Kanye West jumped on stage at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards and crashed Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, it shocked audiences everywhere. West hasn’t been outburst-free in the past, but interrupting the young singer was a new low. The backlash was immediate, with celebrity presenters and internet bloggers criticizing the rapper’s rude, and reportedly drunken, VMA scene. West has since apologized and countless jokes have been made, including some by Swift herself when she appeared on “SNL” Nov. 8. It may have been traumatic for West and Swift, but it’s a gem of a moment for anyone with unoccupied DVR space.
They captivated us all summer with their “big announcement,” but it wasn’t hard to see the signs. Jon and Kate were getting a divorce and the public couldn’t get enough. The hour long Jun. 22 episode of TLC’s reality program “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” saw 10.6 million viewers tune in as the Gosselin’s announced their plans to separate. Watching the couple sit on the couch for what could have been the last time was the culmination of the frenzied tabloid media storm that felt like it only had one ending. Still, after five seasons of watching the Gosselin clan run around, many had to watch the ship go down too. “Yes, Kate and I have decided to separate,” Jon said at the end of the episode. But it would take a lot more to separate viewers from the couple.
