Give Me My Remote Celebrates One Year!!!
October 30, 2006 by Kath Skerry
Well today is the day. Believe it or not, GiveMeMyRemote.com has been around for a full year. I don’t know how one properly celebrates one year in the blogging world, so I thought I would take this opportunity to thank those who helped me make it to Day 365.
First off, a special thanks to YOU. Yes, you…every one of you that takes time out of your day to stop by GMMR to check out what I have to say. Every email I receive, and every comment made on the site makes the time I spend on GMMR so worth it. From what I understand, this internet thing has really caught on, and there a LOT of different places you can hang, so the fact that you stop by here is pretty damn cool.
A special shout out to all the GMMR contributors who spend their free time writing recaps, and sharing ideas in an effort to make Give Me My Remote a bigger and better TV blog. As I’ve said before, the only compensation these recappers receive is your comments, so essentially they do it for the love of writing and for the love of TV. So thanks to Michelle, Whirl, Jim Mosby, Brian, and Jo. You guys rock!!
To Julie, the very first GMMR recapper. Thanks for all that you do for GMMR, and for all that you do to keep me sane. We may joke about it, but I think we really do share a brain – you obviously got the smart side as you are a crazy talented writer. TV and Sympathy is going to blow up, and I’m going to say I knew you when.
To TV with MeeVee – you’ve been a great partner this year, and I look foward to taking on the red carpet with you in the future. Even if we have to stay away from MH. Thanks for the great opportunities you send my way.
I’ve made a lot of great friends since starting GMMR one year ago. I mean, I spend more time IMing with Tanster from OfficeTally.com than I do talking to my own family. So Tanster, thanks for being perhaps the only one that fully understands my obsession with all things Dunder Mifflin. You’re the best!
And then of course there is Ducky. My Duckster!! We live 15 minutes away from each other but we had to fly all the way to the set of Veronica Mars in San Diego to meet and realize we were BFFs 🙂 Ducky makes me laugh like no other, and I secretly live for his midday phone calls to cheer up my otherwise dreary day. The GMMR/DuckyxDale podcasts will soon take over the world, and we will finally be able to release the blooper reel, because honestly, it’s the best part.
A VERY special thanks to my boy Fatback for not only introducing me to this crazy world of blogging, but for helping me to build this site into what it is today. Whether it’s responding at 7am on a Saturday when I’ve manage to completely crash the site, or sharing his tips and ideas on how I can bring more people to GMMR, he’s always there to help out. So if you like hanging out at GMMR, you have Fatback to thank for getting this whole crazy world started.
To the cast of The Office – thank you for being the BEST cast in the history of TV. The way you connect with your fans is unparalleled, and its the reason we are so insanely dedicated to your show (and perhaps why the court says I must remain 800 ft from John Krasinski at all times…awkward). But seriously,thanks for all your support of GiveMeMyRemote.com this past year – the interviews, the MySpace messages – even after all this time, it’s still a bit surreal.
Ok, ok, I can go on and on all day, so let me wrap it up. If you have ever ONCE come by GMMR then know that I thank you. And if I haven’t mentioned you by name, I am sorry, but you know I love ya…especially the WWK Row 1 peeps, Kristin V., Korbi, Angegirlla, Wendy, James (Northern Attack), Sonny (Silly Pipe Dreams), Rene,Winson, Erica (aka TNK), Just Jared, Pink is the New Blog, I’m Not Obsessed, the cast of Veronica Mars, the TWoP ‘hussies’, GMMR MySpace friends, Sienna, Scooter, and my real life friends and family – for being so supportive of this little hobby of mine, and for dealing with my addiction to my computer (and my TV).
Thanks…see you back here to celebrate again next year.

Woohoo! Happy Blogaversary!
*blows bubbles and throws confetti all over gmmr’s place and laughs maniacally when gmmr has to clean it up*
Hehe. 😀
Happy Anniversary!!! (I’d sing but trust me, you do not want that!)
Thank you for having such a great site to come to, read, laugh and forget about the real world for a while.
But more then anything, thanks for letting me be a part of it all and giving this newbie recapper a shot. It’s one of the coolest things that has ever happened to me.
Enjoy your day because you deserve it. And I owe you a drink! 🙂
Happy Anniversary GMMR!! I only discovered your site this summer, but I really appreciate all the hard work you do and it definitely helps me through the workday (and of course the many JK mentions feed my inner hussy). So congrats on reaching this milestone and here’s to many more years of blogging!! 🙂
Congrats! I love stopping by here and finding out all the tv news. You’ve been doing an awesome job making this a really great blog.
This internet thing has caught on, though Dwight does think it’s a “fad” 🙂
Congrats on one year, Kath! The site’s amazing, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the work you put into this and the information you feed us ;). Here’s looking forward to another year to come! (*cough*, and because I’m 100% JK Hussy, she thanks/congratulates you too).
Yay for one year! Here’s to many more.

Wow, I share a birthday with the one year anniversary of GMMR?? That is too cool! And thanks for the shout out- I am proud to be one of your biggest “flans”, even with that presky JK restraining order of yours!

Thanks for the shout out.
Congrats and thank you for your hard work. You help to feed our addictions in the most positive of ways 🙂

Happy Anniversary GMMR!!!!!
Wishing you many, many more years of success and lots of John Krasinski interviews!!!!
Happy Anniversary, GMMR. Thanks for all that you do for us tv obsessed people.
Happy anniversary, sister Hussy! May your day be filled with soft pretzels, and your night with dreams of JK.

congratulations! this truly is a fantastic web site and I love reading your commentary. here’s to continued blogging success (with lots of Krasinski goodness ;))!
I absolutely love this site, you keep us all informed!!! (and as I recall, I believe the court told me that I had to stay 800 ft. away from John Krasinski as well, so you’re not the only one jkjk 😉 )
Congrats again!
Happy Anniversary GMMR! Thanks for all the work you’ve done and for keeping us all hopelessly addicted to the BEST TV. I -know- you’ll get that JK interview yet!
congratulations on your one year anniversary. Your site is one of the best around.
Happy Anniversary GMMR! Like I said over on myspace, you have no idea how happy I am to have stumbled across your site. It makes my day when I get my gmmr.com fix – especially on Office Thursdays. None of my friends get my Office obsession, so it’s great to be surrounded by other Office addicts – particularly during your chats. Thanks for all that you do!
Happy anniversary, GMMR! Thanks Kath for this amazing website. You make the JK Hussies proud. 🙂
YAY!! Happy one year!!
Love your website. Here’s to many more years to come! 😀
Happy 1 Year Anniversary, GMMR! I absolutely love this site!
Congratulations for keeping it up for a year! But I think you’re supposed to consult a doctor after 4 hours. ;D Hope you have a spectacular second year.
Happy Happy Anniversary!!!!
GMMR is one of my favorite places to visit every day…
Your Office coverage is awesome!!!!
Guys…thank you ALL for these nice comments. It so sweet!!
Happy birthday and here’s to another 365 days and hopefully we can meet-up again in San Diego sometime soon.
Congratualtions on your anniversary. I only discovered GMMR a couple months ago, but it’s a fabulous blog, and I look forward to visiting more in the future. Keep up the great work!
P.S. Always remember to stay at least 800 ft. away from that foxy Mr. Krasinski, although I know it’s hard (that’s what she said!)…ha ha.
It feels like everyone else has already said all the witty stuff to be said, but I just wanted to add a few things:
– GMMR.com has made me a temporary Internet celebrity writer thanks to my Halloween costumes. And that’s probably as good as I’ll ever get, so I guess that would make you the JJ Abrams to my Greg Grunberg. You’re my enabler.
– You’re also enabling my TV addiction, because heaven knows that if it weren’t for you, I probably wouldn’t be quoting The Office as fast and furious as I do Arrested Development.
So basically, my happiness for you for one year of fantastic, friendly blogging greatly exceeds my shame that I am such a nerd.
Congratulations! You are definitely my go-to place for John Krasinski new, gossip, and of course beautiful pictures
Ladies…check out the CATEGORIES on the left hand side of the page. I promise we cover a lot more than J. Kras on this site 🙂
Hey GMMR, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! In some ways a year isn’t very long, but it’s quite an accomplishment in the blogosphere, I’d say. I’m glad you’ve been able to make time for the site (and your readers!) every day, and remain so enthusiastic about good television. And from the time I started visiting your site (around June), it’s always seemed so *professional* to me, my first thought when I saw your anniversary bulletin was, “She’s only been doing this for a year?” Many kudos to you, and I’m proud to be your MySpace friend. 😉 Here’s to an even better second year!
Thanks for all the kind words, GMMR — and for letting me use the brain half the time!
I’m so glad I decided to fill our your contact form and start recapping back in April…we’ve had six glorious months together, and you and the site are both fabulous partners. I couldn’t be happier to be a small part of making GMMR the awesome web destination that it is. Thanks for sharing all the dish, the laughs, and the TV boyfriends. You are hilarious, generous, and a great supporter. Plus, you have excellent taste in all things TV! (Of course you do…since we have the same brain!)
Here’s to another great year. 🙂
Happy Anniversary GMMR!!
Can’t wait for the John Krasinski interview – it will happen!
Thanks for all of your hard work!
happy one year!! and thanks for all the AMAZING coverage you give, this really is one of the best TV blogs out there, and no doubt,my favorite!
*hussy love*
Happy Anniversary!! You make my blog look like shit!! =)
Hey Kath – congrats on the one year anniversary. You’re in my top 3 sites to visit everyday. I can say that you are among the people who got me hooked on Veronica Mars this year! Thanks for the hard work you put in on this site, we all appreciate it.
Awesome Awesome site GMMR!!! Congrats on the one year bananaversary! Please know that we TV junkies REALLY appreciate all the time and effort you invest in this. Keep it comin!!!
Congrats buddy! Thanks for the shout out. The student has become the (Fireworks) master. Keep it up. At least one of us can still say we’re not banned in Netscape for porn.
Just wanted to pop in and say happy anniversary! The congratulations are well deserved — you do a fantastic job around here.
I’m sure Krasinksi will come around sooner or later. True love conquers all, court-issued restraining orders included.
I have really enjoyed this site this year – thank you so much.
It has been fun to watch this site grow and change, and your reporting expand.
The forums have been a great place to chat with a few very cool people – I hope more people join in this year.
Thank you for all you do – you are the TV Master.
