I'm so excited about this news from The Office!

Readers of TV Squad know that our fearless editor-in-chief Joel has been at the Television Critics Association press tour, scooping up all the cool news and interviews, and posting them here for all of us to read.

It's a lot of work attending these events; you have to be "on" all the time and not only attend panels, do set visits, conduct interviews, and hob-nob with celebrities, but also write everything up and post it to the site in a timely fashion. I have to give a big shout-out to Joel, because I love seeing all the TCA news coming through.

I'm especially geeked about the news he posted after his set visit to The Office. In case anyone wants to stay spoiler-free (which would be tough regarding this particular news, since it's all over the place and was pretty much a given anyway), I'll post my commentary after the jump.

Jim and Pam are getting married! Jim and Pam are getting married!

And I can't wait! According to Joel's report, the blessed event will take place in the fourth episode of season six, which begins Sept. 17. Of course, we already know -- or rather, we're pretty sure -- that Pam is pregnant, based on the last episode of season five, "Company Picnic."

The Office continues to be fresh and funny, and here's why. Other than the endless storyline possibilities in an office filled with quirky people, the writers have let the characters grow and evolve in a natural way. I'm sure that will continue as Jim and Pam get hitched and kick out a little Jim or Pam.

So many of my favorite scenes have involved these two -- my favorite being when they finally kissed at the end of season two, in "Casino Night." While watching the DVD, my daughter and I played it back several times, because it's just so sweet and awkward and totally romantic.

But Jim and Pam didn't get together right then. After all, Pam was still engaged to Roy. So the writers let them drift apart and find their way back together in a real-life fashion. It took a whole season for them to find their way back to each other, but they did it, at the end of season three in "The Job."

Now I can't wait to see how things develop with the wedding and (possibly) baby. Just the thought of the storylines and reactions from their office-mates is making me giddy. I'm guessing the end of season six will bring ... a baby!
