On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jason Bateman takes on the Wheel of Fortune savant before realizing he’s made a huge mistake.
The Dundies is the most important awards ceremony of our times.
There. We said it. And it felt good.
You can have your Oscars and your Tonys and your Westminster Dog Shows. Dunder-Mifflin’s annual award ceremony honoring excellence in showing up to your job is the most relatable awards show you will ever see on television. Oh, sure, it may seem like just another cheesy event that everyone attends because it’s a big deal to Michael Scott. They’ll share some tasty Chili’s apps and a couple of drinks (and maybe even a few “second drinks.”) and then go home, but the Dundies ended up representing so much more than that.
Whereas, at first glance, the awards seemed to be insulting toward the employees (except for six time “Hottest in the Office”-winner Ryan Howard), they ended up allowing the staff to not take themselves so seriously. When outsiders mocked Michael trying to conduct the Dundies, his staff took that as an attack upon their work family, rallying them to complete the ceremony with honor.
By the time we saw the Dundies a second time, Michael was in the process of passing the torch to Deangelo Vickers, and the ceremony had evolved so much since we had last seen it… fancy restaurant, everyone dressed up… It even had a pre-filmed opening ceremony. Michael treated it as special because he was celebrating his employees (and living out his Hollywood dreams, but at least it was for staff morale), who by then cherished (or increasingly tolerated) the annual event. They were feting the very family they had become at the office. But Deangelo couldn’t handle the pressure of the annual employee appreciation ceremony, which strongly foreshadowed his fate. Ultimately, however, it was demonstrative of how much Michael loved Dunder-Mifflin and all of his employees, and they him.
So with that we give this special Dundie to the, um, Dundies, for celebrating us, the common office worker. We raise our second drink to you, after which we will no doubt be thrown out for being belligerent and drunk, but loved.
All the world’s a stage for Shakespeare, who was born on this day 450 years ago. References to the Great Bard pop up all over television — here are just 10 of our favorites. What did we miss?
Still can’t get enough? Check out Complete Works on Hulu. It’s the tale of the cutthroat world of Shakespeare acting competitions. (Spoiler: They’ll do anything for the part.)

CBS ANNOUNCES DEVELOPMENT OF “DANCING ON THE STARS,” AN EXCITING AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL REALITY PROGRAM THAT OWES ITS CONCEPT AND EXECUTION TO NOBODY AT ALL
Los Angeles, June 20, 2012 – Subsequent to recent developments in the creative and legal community, CBS Television today felt it was appropriate to reveal the upcoming launch of an exciting, groundbreaking and completely original new reality program for the CBS Television Network.
The dazzling new show, DANCING ON THE STARS, will be broadcast live from the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and will feature moderately famous and sort of well-known people you almost recognize competing for big prizes by dancing on the graves of some of Hollywood’s most iconic and well-beloved stars of stage and screen.
The cemetery, the first in Hollywood, was founded in 1899 and now houses the remains of Andrew “Fatty” Arbuckle, producer Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Paul Muni, Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel, George Harrison of the Beatles and Dee Dee Ramone of the Ramones, among many other great stars of stage, screen and the music business. The company noted that permission to broadcast from the location is pending, and that if efforts in that regard are unsuccessful, approaches will be made to Westwood Village Memorial Park, where equally scintillating luminaries are interred.
“This very creative enterprise will bring a new sense of energy and fun that’s totally unlike anything anywhere else, honest,” said a CBS spokesperson, who also revealed that the Company has been working with a secret team for several months on the creation of the series, which was completely developed by the people at CBS independent of any other programming on the air. “Given the current creative and legal environment in the reality programming business, we’re sure nobody will have any problem with this title or our upcoming half-hour comedy for primetime, POSTMODERN FAMILY.”
“After all,” the spokesperson added, “people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.”
Classic Canadian television program Space Teens with pop star Robin Sparkles is finally available in the U.S. on Hulu! See what it’s all aboot, eh? (Please note, due to streaming restrictions this show will no longer be available in Canada.)
Dads is a new “television show” on Fox. It is an achievement.
It’s down to the final four. We’ve pitted Community against Sherlock and Game of Thrones against Breaking Bad for our fourth week of Best in Show. Make your votes now. The future of television could depend on it. It probably doesn’t, but you never know.
