According to Kristin over at E!, Rashida Jones, who plays Karen on The Office, has been cast on the new Fox comedy The Rules of Starting Over. (Darn Kristin for stealing the OOTO joke from everybody else!) This, of course, comes as close to spoiling the Jim-Karen-Pam triangle (JarenKam?) as possible without completely spoiling it (especially after the cute scenes between Pam and Roy last night. Kristin confirms this by pointing out that Roy ain’t going anywhere). The new Fox show stars Craig Bierko, who I have always loved on TV. He is a great guest on Conan for example, and I think it will be fun to see him carry a show again.

So next week you’ve got “24″ up against “Heroes” Mondays at 9. That’s a tough call: One show has a bunch of people doing fantastical things to save the world, bending time and space and breaking the laws of nature. And the other show is “Heroes.”

But I kid the Bauer. During the 4 hour premiere a terrorist does make the 48 miles from Palmdale to Valencia in 9 minutes, but other than that and a few hundred other impossibilities, it was a superb premiere for what looks like a fantastic sixth season.
