First Reality Convention Announced
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, News,
Comic-Con is such a wild success every year, bringing fans together to test new games, spoil new movies and get all the latest gossip on their favorite TV shows. But why should the fun exist for scripted entertainment alone?
It’s just been announced that Los Angeles will be the site of the first-ever Reality Rocks Expo, a three-day reality convention that’s being billed as the “ultimate reality TV fan experience.”
Reality stars will be on hand to sign autographs and an awards show will highlight the event being held next April. American Idol judge Randy Jackson has joined the advisory committee to help plan all the activities and attractions.

Scranton, PA Welcomes ‘Office’ Fanatics
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Comedy, NBC, The Office,
How many other TV shows can garner enough interest to support a convention—let alone in Scranton, Pennsylvania? Fans of The Office rallied together over the weekend to celebrate the series and even a few Office stars joined in on the fun. Ed Helms, who plays Andy Bernard was on hand, saying, “We’re the Beatles in Scranton.” And he’s not too far off the mark, seeing as more than 3,000 people turned out for The Office party. The show has really put Scranton on the map—and this city of 75,000 threw a thrilling enough convention to grab fans from as far away as Australia and Ireland. And wouldn’t you know there was plenty of Office fun to be had, including Dunder Mifflin paraphernalia, a lookalike contest, and a performance by the Scrantones (not Scrantonicity, strangely enough). In addition to Helms, cast members Angela Kinsey, who plays Angela, and Kate Flannery (Meredith) were also at the big event. To top it off, there was an Office Olympics, complete with “Flonkerton,” where fans raced with their feet in empty paper boxes, and yogurt lid medals for the winners.
