Is the Jim and Pam Wedding Episode Overhyped?

October 8, 2009

The big moment we've all been waiting for is just about here: Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly will finally be married in an hour-long special episode of The Office tonight!

NBC (and the entertainment world in general) has gone all-out for the event, including an EW cover, video teasers, talk show appearances, even their own wedding site.

I can't wait to finally see Pam and Jim tie the knot, but you'd almost think we were being prepped for the series finale given all the promotion. What do you think — are you more excited than ever or is there too much buildup to Jim and Pam's big day?

I actually though the episode was a bit lacking - it was very funny and sweet, but; even though they did show them getting married at Niagra Falls (which I think is so cool); they didn't show the church wedding - which I really wanted to see. I don't think the concept was overhyped, but I do think the episode did not meet expectations (at least not mine)...

Just saw the last 15 minutes by accident while flipping channel. I think the wedding's rather sweet. I didn't realize the hype at all, then again, I hardly watch NBC these days. I watched 'The Office' a long time ago (never caught on the hype), it was when Pam was engaged to this other guy... I thought Jim was so cute crushing on her that time. So awww, they're married now :)

Nope. I just saw the episode and loved it. gidgetgirl, how is it trashy? They were in a committed relationship that was heading down the isle. So it's out of the traditional order. It's not as though they got married because she was pregnant.

I would have liked their wedding better if it was BEFORE baby. It seems less special / more trashy this way.

I really like the office, but the laughter has been tamed for a while now. I don't find it as funny as I did in the beginning

I think it's way overhyped, but then again, I think the Office is way overhyped in general. (Don't get me wrong, I watch it, I just don't have the same level of obsession that a lot of other people seem to have with it.)

i am totally psyched about the wedding!!! i completely support getting it all hyped up! I say go all out NBC! You rock the Halpert Beesly wedding all you want because how many times a year does a couple that actually belongs together actually get married? (even if fictional) I LOVE IT!!
