I am a late arrival at the good time that is The Office, North American version. My daughter got the DVDs for Christmas, and we spent many a fun hour watching the shows, including commentary. And I have come to a conclusion:
John Krasinski, who plays Jim, is one cute, clever guy. I mean, he's the very definition of "cute guy" to me, including the smarts.
So I said to my daughter, "There must be a gazillion fan sites for him."
"Uh, no," says she. (Clearly, she had checked. )
What? There are only a couple of sites dedicated to John/Jim, who happens to be a very good actor (and reactor) and whose character is in one of the most fascinating, exciting TV romances EVER?
I was shocked.
So I asked my daughter why she thought he was flying under the radar. "Teenagers don't watch The Office," was her reply.
I've never been so tempted to start a fan site myself. If I didn't have a book to write, I'd be even more tempted.
In the meantime, I will watch and enjoy.

Everytime I see an ad for this I want to watch it, but always seem to miss it when it's on TV. I'm going to have to see if I can get the DVD. It sounds like a great investment!
It's certainly not a fansite, but if you are interested in talking with other people who share your admiration for JK (as I do), check out Television Without Pity->Forums->Sitcoms->The Office (U.S.)->John Krasinski: We'd Climb Him Like a Tree. I don't know how to embed links in a comment, but you could cut and paste:

I LOVE Jim! You need to go back and watch last season and see the way he looks at Pam! SIGH!!! All he has to do is use his eyes.
Oh, I know Television Without Pity. I spent too long today reading the start of the thread about The Office. :-)
I did see a reference to "We'd Climb Him Like A Tree." I absolutely must check it out next week!!!
And who'd a thunk Dwight has heroic qualities??? Or that I'd be so upset for him. And hooo, baby, Andy better look out for Angela, eh? Talk about hell hath no fury!
