MeeVee Exclusive! Interview with The Office's Melora Hardin
Perhaps one of the most dysfunctional, and yet endearing romances on television, the relationship between Jan and Michael on The Office remains an enigma to many fans, including us here at MeeVee. I talked with Melora Hardin who plays Jan at the TCA Press Tour this month, where she reveals the who, what, where, and why Jan continues to submit herself to Michael’s constant boorish behavior.

Since its first season, House has benefited enormously by occupying the timeslot following ratings behemoth American Idol.
Credit also goes to Hugh Laurie, who rose from British sitcom obscurity to Emmy and Golden Globe glory, carrying House through three phenomenally successful seasons. This modern medical Sherlock Holmes has -- despite an incorrigible Vicodin dependence and a played-out, repetitive story arc -- easily holds off late fall and early winter pre-Idol counter-programming. The question for House in the shivering doldrums of late January is simple: Does the bad doctor lean on Idol's ratings lead-in gimme like a new model crutch, or can he step up on his own?
