It’s Thursday night and I’m looking forward to The Office tonight.  It’s quite possibly my favorite show on TV right now, along with How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.  It’s just a good show all the way around.

So I saw on my facebook news feed today that Pam had posted a new video blog on their wedding site: www.halpertbeesly.com It was a good clip.  I looked through the site and it’ set up just like a real wedding site.  They even have a guest book and people signed it like they are real people getting married.

I would assume that the public knows they are not a real couple, but it got me thinking about that.  People identify with tv characters a lot.  They want these people to be real, on some level anyway.  They want these people to be their friends, after all, they know all about them.  But they’re just actors/actresses!

It makes me wonder if people get too involved with television and why that is.  Is their life just not that exciting?  Are they that enthralled with the show that they’ll leave comments for these not real people to read?

I don’t know the answer to that. It may be an interesting social experiment for someone in the sociology or psychology field. So if you’re looking for a thesis topic here you go!  Just credit me in the title page and I’ll be happy!
