Did anybody see it? Was it any good, or was it as disappointing as my wife said it was?
As someone who has never seen the British version- I found the parts I squeezed in in between NCAA games enjoyable.
From what I've read, the show starts hitting its stride about Week 3...
If NBC decides that the third time's a charm and they want to Americanize "Black Books," then I am ready and availible to play Bernard Black.

I watched it. They actually planned the Illinois game to end at 8:30 just so I could watch it. I think it's got potential to be very funny, but then I'm an unabashed fan of the original. Ricky Gervais the other co-creator collaborated on the "teleplay" for the first episode, which pretty closely mirrored the first episode of the UK version of The Office.
Steve Carrell is great, and Rainn Wilson is perfect as the American version of Gareth.
They've already got the awkward pauses down, and I'll keep watching.
Right now the only show with humans in it that is consistently funny is Arrested Development, with Scrubs coming the closest runner up. We NEED The Office to be good, people!

But FOX is getting a new quarterback and AD very possibly a solid ally in Peter Liguori.Â
Here's an article (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/latimests/20050325/ts_latimes/liguoritoreplacebermanatfoxhiscablestrategywillundergonetworktest") about Liguori's ascencion, but note this particular snippet:
Liguori said the success of "Idol," and the creative pedigree of "24" and "Arrested Development," made it more exciting for him to accept the job.AD and "exciting" in (presumably) the same breath?? It
might not mean anything, but given his track record at FX, I look at it as a very good sign. "Off the hook!" if you will.
The former Fox president was also believed to be an Arrested Development fan, and she's the one who cut the order from 22 to 18, hoping to keep the show profitable (because it's one of Fox's most expensive shows because of all the location shooting they do and the size of the cast) and to keep it out of sweeps so that a bad May ratings run wouldn't doom it to cancellation.
Last night's show was the first filmed after the order was cut to 22 and has a joke about the order for new Bluth homes cut from 22 to 18 and solved by moving the company from the expensive top floor of a building to the second to the top floor. They apparently re-wrote half the show just to make that joke.
One of the things that seems to all but guarantee AD's return is The Bernie Mac Show is kaput, with Bernie blowing up to Jerry Lewis size with his treatment for his dread disease. And, with That '70s Show trying to stick around for another year without Ashton or Topher, Fox pretty much needs Arrested.

He's cursed for having the audacity--as a native South Sider and, ergo, Sox fan-- to sing "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" in the seventh inning of Game 6.
His sick ass also belted out "Champs! Champs! Champs!" instead of "home team," which people sometimes forget.
here's a link to a pretty funny clip from the next episode. Its about 10 minutes long but its worth it.

That was pretty funny...there's hope for this show...
I liked when the boss was interrupting the diversity trainer (the black guy) and then asked what his name was, when the trainer said his name was Mr. Brown, the boss said:
"I will not call you that. Nice try though. That was a test, right?"
"collared greens, that doesn't really make sense. you don't call them collared people. now that's offensive"
The scene where the evil lacky had all the employees in the room, requiring the to identify their health conditions (because 'they had lost the privilidge of confidentiaity') this week had me in stiches
One of the funniest scenes on any show all year.
"What's an inverted penis?"
"You mean...a vagina? Because I want that covered."
"I thought you had yours removed?"
"I had a hysterectomy. They remove your uterus, not your vagina. They're not the same thing."
"Whatever."
I must say I thought having the lackey wear an anime t-shirt was pretty funny this week.
I liked watching Dwight try and drink water while wearing the "broken nose face shield" during the basketball game was pretty good. The Office is a very funny show. You can see Ricky Gervais' fingerprints all over it. When NBC bought the rights to Coupling they ruined it by not letting the creator do anything. They just made an unfunny Friends rip off and slapped his name on the end of it. I just hope his checks cleared.
As fantastic as Gareth, his UK counterpart, is on the BBC version, I can think of no more hilarious character on television today than Dwight on the American version.
Him dressing as the Sith Lord last night was gold, Jerry. Toward the end, after Jim had been pulled into Michael's office, and the cute receptionist (damn, forgot her name) looked at Dwight, and Dwight stared back at her menacingly, and slowly put his Sith hood back up, compelling her to involuntarily, and subtly shudder upon the visage...I just about wet my pants.
Such good stuff. God bless these 21st century sitcoms (AD, The Office, naturally "the Simpsons" from an earlier millenia) that make do without the infernal laugh track.
I loved it when Dwight got the phone call from the other paper company after Jim had put his resume on Monster.com.
"How did you get my resume? Oh, I know, it must have been submitted to you by yet another very satisfied customer of mine. Wait, is it the most current one? What is listed under "Martial Arts skills?" Wait, I need to add some. What's your fax number?"
"I'm a Sith Lord"
Working for a small programming company, this hits disturbingly close to home.

Best show on TV. Much better than Arrested Development. More heart and more laughs.
Is it just me, or was last night's show freakin' magic?Â
I could spout praises on multiple aspects of the episode, but is there anything Dwight can't do?
GRRRRRRRRRAPE!!!
This has got to be KILLING you.
Dwight Schrute may quite possibly be the funniest guy on television right now.
I got a big kick out of this "theory" about the women staying together too long in the conference room -- this was during the teaser for next week.
For some reason I can't get the phrase "that'd just be malfeasance for malfeasances's sake" out of my head. Dwight is about as funny as it gets.Â
When he crashed his car into the pole, got out and immediately vomitted on the hood...I shot water out my nose.

Great thing was, I went "Ooooohhhh", just as the people in the office did
"Remember on 'Lost' - when they met 'the others'?"
What I love about Jim and Dwight is that they always have priceless reactions to things that Michael says or does.
On Thursday night, Dwight stole the show with his overly enthusiastic reactions to Michael's antics in the warehouse.
Michael trashing the warehouse? Great stuff.
My wife gets a little too caught up in the whole Jim/Pam thing, and I'm hoping they don't get too soapy with it.
I damn near exploded after either:
-- "DAMMIT Michael! ::box throw/commercial break::"
-- Dwight complaining about the correlation between 'cycles' and 'clogged toilets'
I liked when the women were going over the sports metaphors.
So what does it mean when Michael says he got to 2nd base with you?
And they say that men are insensitive.
Wait...below par should be good.
"I don't want to be one of those women with 3 kids in a minivan. I want an SUV with three rows of seats"
The Jim/Pam thing is following the exact same track that the Tim/Dawn thing did in the British version.
PBS just showed the one Saturday when David and "Finchy" lost in Quiz Bowl or whatever they called it, and Finchy threw Tim's shoe over the bar.
The series was almost over and Lee and Dawn were planning on moving to America so Tim was depressed, and having to walk around the outside of the bar with one shoe on to find his other shoe in the dark seemed a suitably pitiful way to end the episode.
The NBC version may have painted themselves into a corner though with Roy and Pam by actually setting a date for the wedding, that they'll have to cross next year. Though Roy seems like the kind of guy who accidentally schedule a fishing trip on his wedding day and reschedule the wedding instead of the fishing trip.
Love those Pocanos.
Last night's episode was great.Â
The Dwight bobblehead, hope that goes on sale somewhere.
A Michael Scott Joint.
Best pizza in NYC - Sbarros!
The whole Dwight rant comparing women to wolves.
Michael putting his passport in his briefcase as he is headed for NYC.
On a related note, this is the Michael Scott Valentine's Day playlist from iTunes:

A key to his apartment.

I don't know if everyone is aware or not, but Dwight has his own MySpace account.
http://www.myspace.com/dwightschrute
I loved the sight of Phyllis having to "Fireman's Carry" that enormous bear she got from "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration", and the look on Pam's face when Roy figured out she was mad at him for not getting her anything for Valentine's Day and he said, "Valentine's Day's not over. How about I get you home and we have the best sex ever?" Ahh, the look of panic...it never gets old.
Also loved Jim's "No...now while I'm right...here...OK" reaction when the Indian girl asked Ryan out right in front of him.
And as JL already pointed out the "A Michael Scott Joint" at the end of the presentation "movie" was great, as was the inexplicable inclusion of photos of Robin Williams and Steve Martin as Michael's voice yelled "Great Scott" with a British accent.
Also liked the bit where he ran after that woman he thought was Tina Fey as the real Conan O'Brien walked right past him without his noticing.
This is why I'm not ashamed to admit I watch The Office twice every week.

The guy who plays Roy played pretty much the same character in "Big Fish" - big fugly lunkhead with girlfriend coveted by the clever chap.
If they follow the same track as Big Fish:
- Roy will beat Jim into a fine paste
- Pam will fire the engagement ring at Roy and marry Jim
- Before he's 30, Roy will have a grabber on the shitter and drop dead
Phyllis: (about Titanic, before the Booze Cruise) Michael, everyone in the engine room drowned.
Michael: Thank you, spoiler… alert.
John Krasinski (Jim) was on Leno afterwards. I'm pretty sure I caught the whole segment, but they only mentioned the show in passing. He seemed legitimately entertaining though.

Actually, a lot of the Office people have MySpaces...and I'm friends with most of them [which could just mean I'm a loser, but who wouldn't want to friend these people?].

Kills me.
If I had missed the episode where Dwight shadowed Oscar all day, this gem might not have sent me flying off my couch.
Upon being asked who was responsible for sending him a Valentines gift --
Oscar:Â "...My mom"
::Casually slips note into pocket::
"Women are like wolves. If you want a wolf, you have to trap it. You have to snare it. And then you have to tame it. Keep it happy. Care for it. Feed it. Lovingly, the way an animal deserves to be loved. My animal deserves alot of loving."
I'm gonna miss not having Dwight Schrute's wisdom for the next few weeks.
I know my poor wife is going crazy triing to track down a Dwight Schrute bobblehead doll for me.
Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant are already done with the episode they're supposed to be writing for next season, and Gervais says it's his favorite sitcom at the moment...as well it should be.

I was determined not to like this, but despite myself I have now... erm... "borrowed" every episode right up-to-date. It's different from the UK version, and perhaps not quite as challenging but it is much more likeable. Michael Scott is not just quite so much of an arsehole as David Brent; Dwight is an utter tool but has moments where you're far more sympathetic to him than you ever are to Gareth; Jim is a lot more in control and heroic as a person than Tim, who's actually a bit of a loser; and so on.
Despite all that, it's very watchable and there are moments of real quality in there. I do miss the truly horrible scenes of the original, sometimes - there were episodes which were so embarrassing that I had to have my arse cheeks surgically unclenched after watching - but I'm enjoying it very much. Good work Yank fellas!! Now alll they have to do is work out when to pull the plug...
Thank God the Olympics are over.
Tonight's was certainly not the best episode, but, as per usual, it had its moments. More than once I found myself physically turning my head away from the TV screen it was so painful to watch; mostly during Michael's ridiculous speech.
I was waiting impatiently for Dwight's speech to bomb, but it was funnier that it actually went over well, making Michael's sound effects even more ridiculous.
Saleswomen have vaginas.
"I captivated the guy who captivated a thousand guys."
"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't see that you had a hearing aid. I just thought you had a weird speech...uh..."
An underrated moment was when Pam and Kelly and Ryan were in the break room talking about Pam's wedding when Kelly said: "I can't wait to get married." Then turns to a horrified Ryan and says, "How old do you think you'll be when you get married, Ryan?"
Ryan says, "Really, I don't think I'll ever get married. Nope."
Kelly bolts out of the room and Pam tells Ryan he should be careful what he says around Kelly because she really likes him. Ryan stares straight ahead and says, "I know what I said."
You had to love Michael's use of "Good Morning Vietnam!" just hours after Dwight had bombed at it during "toast practice."
Michael: "What's the difference between saleswomen and salesmen?"
Dwight: "A vagina."
Michael: "No, that's...that's science. It's a joke. What's the difference between saleswomen and salesmen?"
Dwight: "I don't know. What is it?"
Michael: "Boobs."

Dwight: But I was right about the vagina, wasn't I?
Michael: Yes, you were right about that, but not about the joke.
that reminded me of the sexual harassment episode.
Dwight: Hey, Toby, you said we could come to you with any questions.
Toby: Yes.
Dwight: Where's the clitoris? On a website, it said it was at the crest of the the labia. What does that
mean? What does the female vagina look like?
Yet another great episode last night. For me, the funniest part was when Creed said "hello to all his friends in China" and then pointed at the camera for emphasis. That, or at the beginning when Dwight blindsides Ryan. And Jim's connecting flight to Mordor line was classic, and well delivered.
My good buddy/stalking victim (same thing, no?) Jenna Fischer was on Conan O'Brien last night. Her giddy personality is a complete contrast of Pam, but Bob Costas didn't seem to mind.

This was probably the bread winner for me last night. That and the screamed "blood turns the wheel of history" line. Oh, and Kevin's suggestion of Hedonism. His office temperature preference was easily telegraphed, but his reaction to his own line was pretty worthy.
Kevin's a genuine diamond in the rough on that show. It would seem that his BBC counterpart is Keith, but he's started to take off on his own.
His whole "I got your back" thing a few weeks ago with Jim vis-a-vis Roy was gold, Jerry. Particulalry when he proved that he did, indeed have Jim's back by quietly sliding out from behind a shelf, and into focus, after what he thought was a near-confrontation between the two.

The laugh-out-loud moment this week (for me anyway) was the look Pam gave the camera after Angela wished Dwight good luck
Although consecutive posting is pretty weak, it's worth noting that nbc.com currently has an outstanding Dwight montage.
Tomorrow night's is (according to the Web site) a re-run. But it's a classic. The Diversity Day one from last year that was the first truly great episode in the show's American history.
However, Entertainment Weekly says it's not a re-run, but rather the much anticipated (and long rumored) Bring Your Daughter To Work Day episode. Maybe that's next week?
The following is an excerpt of a bulletin I received from Brian Baumgartner (Kevin Malone):
This week on THE OFFICE, they are re-showing footage of DIVERSITY DAY, Thursday night at 9:30pm. I am not telling you to watch it if you already have, but I heard a rumor. A totally unsubstantiated rumor. That they are adding some extra footage back in, that was not in the original epsode. And as a side note: it may be my all time favorite footage.
Peace,

Watched last night's after Illinois-Air Force. Ryan getting screamed at for supposedly hitting on Stanley's daughter was tremendous. Michael and Dwight dueting on "Teach Your Children Well" was also tremendous. I feel bad that I grew up without Fundlebundle, now.
Angry Stanley may have been one of the best things I've seen in a long time. "Jeeeasus could come into this room and not help you Ryan".
Stanley did get a little jive in his rant.
Was that a new episode? I never saw it before, but figured that NBC wouldn't put up first-run programming opposite the NCAA.
And Kelly sure can be pschyobitchfromhell, eh? Who knew?Â
Ryan: Kelly and I agreed that we're just having fun. But Kelly's idea of fun is apparently getting married and having babies...immediately.
The alcoholic woman's son calling Dwight, Mr. Poop was hilarious.
Michael Scott's online name was hee-larious.
Rob Goldberg no longer had any use for it.
Wow, that was a sad, pathetic Michael Scott in this episode. Though the donut scene in the kitchen was funny as hell; like a little kid trying to buy friends with his toys.
The PSA commercials were good also, especially Dwight Schrute's warnings about what to do if you encounter a bear.
I thought this past week's episode was one of their best. The secondary characters are really becoming pretty dang funny, especially how they've decided to develop Kelly.

That's a good pint. I like that they're starting to really develop the secondary characters and.
i.e. Dwight-Angela's secret affair
Meredith's alcoholism. This is also reflected also in her delinquent son.
Kelly proving to be an absolute Trixie of the First Order
Oscar's homosexuality. Even though he was outed by Dwight (although Dwight didn't know it), they've played it subtlely. His getting lost in the moment on Thursday while figure skating was pretty funny.
My favorite secondary character by far, thoughy is Kevin. In fact, he could be my favorite character of the show. The way he delivers his lines just makes me laugh. I know Thursday was the exception due to his medical situation, but his delivery just kills me.
The show seems to really be hitting it's stride. Which is nice, since a year ago it would not have appeared that it would have a chance to still be around.
How bout Dwight and Angela talking about "cooking" and being "hungry" in the breakroom in front of Ryan...hilarious.
"But what if I'm really hungry?"
Can't believe nobody has mentioned the PSAs the cast did. Here they all are:

Sorry, I was busy making myself matter...
Well, you haven't shown up in my history book yet, so keep trying.
Let's see if Zinn writes another one. I'll be in that.
Give me just a little blurb in Variety and I'll be as happy as a dog with two Peters. That's the epitome of mattering I'm told.

First of all, let's be real friendly here, okay? My name is JD. Secondly, your days of bombarding this thread with "Your Mother" references instead of "Office" refrerences are over.
Leave the ball, will you, Slaky?
Quote from: JD on April 01, 2006, 07:19:04 PM
How bout Dwight and Angela talking about "cooking" and being "hungry" in the breakroom in front of Ryan...hilarious.Â
"But what if I'm really hungry?"
I'm a little late on this one, but Ryan's 100-yard stare into the camera was outstanding.
Dwight: "I do not tip people for things I could do myself. I do not tip a waiter, because I can bring myself food. I do not tip cab drivers because I can drive myself around in a car. I did tip my urologist though. As I am unable to pulverize my own kidney stones."
Figure someone should acknowledge last night's episode.
I thought it was quality. Painfully excrutiating quality, as has becomes the show's norm. Poor Kevin getting the "Worst To Follow Out of Bathroom" award. Pam, because she was drunk, saving Michael's ass where even his normal powers of denial couldn't hide the fact that he was fried. I loved, too, how Michael not only didn't get the budget for employees approved for the "Dundys", but double-backed all the way to making everyone think their families could come, and thus pissing them off at Chili's when he told him nothing was comped. Stanley's interaction with Michael after that was classic as well.
Stanley:Â Michael, you said we could bring our wives.
Michael: I did, Stanley. And where is yours.
Stanley:Â This woman right here, whose hand I'm holding.
Or something like that...

Ummm,
--slowly steps backward out of the room--
well it was new to me. here's what I thought....it was funny.
I had never seen it myself. Made for some worthwhile viewing, especially since I had/have no clue as to what NBC is doing with the time slots (didn't it get bumped last week for that gawd-awful Teachers? What a dog of a pilot that was).
Anyone else catch BJ Novak's commercial for one of those NBC The More You Know (wrong?) spots? Don't ever record yourself having sex?

Can't believe nobody has mentioned the PSAs the cast did. Here they all are:
http://www.nbc.com/The_Office/video/sub_122.shtml#main
Pure genius.
All the PSAs are here. They're really great, esp. the ones with Dwight.
I have to dissent. For me the Office, while capable of some quirky gems, is mostly a one-trick pony. I get it that he is a self-deluding putz and that no one respects him. What else can you tell me? It is on opposite CSI (the good one with William Peterson, not the one with "pain in the butt Caruso") so much of the audience that "Earl" might have in the first half of the hour is drawn away by people who choose to watch CSI.

Actually, the show has gotten better as the other cast members' personas have been developed. It is a pony with many tricks.

Stew also provides us with a useful weekly movie review, as well as numerous anecdotes from his formative years as a Chinese railroad worker in the old west.
So sit on it, Potsie.
Anyone has a problem with Stew has a problem with me, capiche?
You know, I realized after a little while that previous comment sounded much more harsh than I intended. My bad, Stew.

Dwight bobbleheads on sale - http://www.dwightbobbleheads.com/Preorder.aspx
noted, and ordered.
i know last night was a rerun, but i think this intro is the funniest one i've seen.
"wash your hands, kevin."
Now I'll have a reason to run to the mailbox all next week.
"The Wilkes-Barre branch is working overtime to get their reports in to avoid downsizing. We're taking an extra hour for lunch to go watch Dwight and Michael fight."
Nothing like Jim snapping his fingers all 'West Side Story" style while following the two to the dojo.
So was it another rerun last night?
Pretty funny how they revealed that Ryan was the doper. Classic episode, IMO.
I liked Dwight's left-handed salute at the end.

You got lucky Huey and caught a new one. It was fantastic as always. The comment by Jim at the end about not understanding what Dwight gets out of his relationship was priceless. Especially as they show Jim and Pam yucking it up in the break room.
The Dwight Fart Schrute ID badge in last night's episode was classic.
I loved the list of grievances that Dwight has filed about Jim.
"Everyone called me Duane all day, I think Jim paid them."
Jim: Yeah, $5 each. It was totally worth it.
"Everytime I typed my name into the computer today it changed to Diaper."
Jim: That's actually a very simple macro.
"Hit myself in the head with my phone."
Jim: Oh, that took a while. I stuffed nickels in the handset until he got used to the added weight, then took them all out."
"It feels like my desk moved two feet to the right."
Jim: Yeah, every time he got up to go the bathroom I moved it a couple inches. It's pretty much all I did that day.

"Can you imagine if I was deranged?"
I liked it when Pam called Dwight "Bobblehead Joe."
So as a relative newbie to The Office (I've only seen 3-4 episodes), which ones do I want to make a point of downloading on iTunes? I mean, for just $1.99 each, I can't afford not to download at least a few, right?
I've seen the Dundies one, the diversity episode and the one where someone leaves a "package" in Michael's office.
What are the other classics?

Last week's episode ("Conflict Resolution") was one of my favorites. And from season one, "Basketball".
Actually, season 1 on DVD isn't that much since there's only 6 episodes. Highly recommended.
They're all gold. You literally can't go wrong with any episode they've made so far.
Steve Carrell wrote the season finale coming up on Thursday. It's funny that they've "supersized" it to 40 minutes, because on the season one DVD they have plenty of good stuff deleted from each episode to get it down to the 30 minute format (which is, like 21 minutes after commercials and the opening credits).
I absolutely loved the NY episode.
Holy crap, that was fucking outstanding tonight. Someone else had to have seen this.

I hate what it is about Jim Hendry that makes him do what he does.
I'm going to drop a deuce on everyone.
If NBC had just ONE more good sitcom, then they could supersize "Earl" and "the Office" every week. I vote for "Scrubs" if it doesn't get canceled. 40 minutes each week of those sitcoms would go down super-smooth. I'm talkin Mach 5, man.

Gotta love poor Kevin's low self-esteem. He went All In with 3 Queens and Phyllis beat him with a straight she didn't even know she had ("I've got an Ace"). Afterwards, Kevin was beating himself up, even though he lost on a fluke. He's definitely my favorite character.

I have to disagree here. I think they have changed the entire genetic makeup for the show and it can never be put back. Sure I wanted Jim and Pam together, but I could have waited another 4 seasons.
I look at a show like Cheers, and how they drew out Sam and Diane's relationship for the better part of 6 seasons. The lack of complication that comes from a relationship from your main love story leaves the show funny and light hearted. Hell, even the chimps who wrote Friends had the good sense to have Ross and Rachel wait a couple years before putting them together. Jim and Pam's kiss was irresponsibly impatient.
So much of this show is built around subtlety. I have the highest of respect for the writers of the Office, as they currently churn out the best show on television every week. However, this time the writers went the way of the cookie cutter sitcom and brought the audience a convienient, unoriginal resolution far before one was necessary. I had come to expect more from this show.

I knew a lot of people, especially here, would be turned off by that. And thats ok. But to say thats a convenient little ending is so off base. Think about all the shit that moment is going to drudge up. There way too many ways to go with that. All we know is that Pam and Jim kissed and Pam is seriously questioning her marriage plans. We have no idea what happens next. Thats the way I'm choosing to look at it anyway.

We'll see how the writers handle it next season. Anyway, they had me fooled. I was pretty damn sure that Jim was going to end up sleeping with the chick who drove up from corporate to be Michael's 2nd date.

So did I.
I disagree about the show going sour now as a result. Â While I agree with how it went down on "Cheers" you were also dealing with the two main characters. Â Jim's character is certainly central, but I think the show will do just fine if he shows up next year in Wilkes-Barre. Â Just bring in some other character that's the closest thing to Jim's normalcy (as well as serving as Dwight's foil) and roll with it. Â You can do without the Pamcrush storyline. Â It was well done, but not the reason I kept watching. Â The best part of the show is how they slowly developed the entire ensemble. Â I'm looking forward ot more Creed, more Oscar, more Kevin, more Angela etc. Â It's almost "Simponsesque" how they have been able to develop former background characters. Â
I think the show's got a lot of life.

I was in the same boat as the rest of you folks. I thought Jan was making the booty call.
I think they shot the wad too early. But, as with anytime the wad is shot, it
felt so, so good. Doesn't matter if it felt
right or not. I would have put it off for a few more seasons, but we'll see where it goes. It isn't like they're bone dry for material now.Â
Being a bit of a poker aficionado, I totally felt Kevin's pain after losing to Phyllis. Not so much because of the hand, but because of the comment. "I got all the clovers!" or thereabouts. That's a swifty to the softies. Either way, Kevin was the real winner of the night. The production values of that video = priceless. Tell me, who wouldn't want an avatar/pic of Kevin with the '80s video coloring in mid-lyric?
Oh, yeah, I guess you could call Jim the winner. I especially liked Michael's lead up to the final scene. I was thinking Michael's scene was going to cap it. Then, cut to dimmed office, and the rest, they say, is history.

I was in the same boat as the rest of you folks. I thought Jan was making the booty call.
I think they shot the wad too early. But, as with anytime the wad is shot, it felt so, so good. Doesn't matter if it felt right or not. I would have put it off for a few more seasons, but we'll see where it goes. It isn't like they're bone dry for material now.Â
Being a bit of a poker aficionado, I totally felt Kevin's pain after losing to Phyllis. Not so much because of the hand, but because of the comment. "I got all the clovers!" or thereabouts. That's a swifty to the softies. Either way, Kevin was the real winner of the night. The production values of that video = priceless. Tell me, who wouldn't want an avatar/pic of Kevin with the '80s video coloring in mid-lyric?
Oh, yeah, I guess you could call Jim the winner. I especially liked Michael's lead up to the final scene. I was thinking Michael's scene was going to cap it. Then, cut to dimmed office, and the rest, they say, is history.
What makes that line even better is that Steve Carrell (Michael) wrote this episode. And count me in with those surprised... may have been the biggest surprise on TV since Tony got shot in the first season of the Sapranos

I see Jim transferring for an episode or so, then his branch being downsized so he's forced to come back to Scranton. Ricky G still has some creative control, and he's definitely a fan of awkward situations so next season seems promising. Also, they're having webisodes over the summer featuring the background characters like Kevin, Creed, Oscar and Angela. Also, I loved Dwight thinking he had a tell on Jim.

"I don't know. It's
weird. Everytime I cough---Dwight folds."
Michael talking about giving to charity and wrapping it up by saying "I'm a philanderer".
Michael's whole "Caberet" thing at the beginning of the Casino night? Steak sauce!
I think they had to do something with Jim and Pam before the end of the season. They painted it into a corner the night they had the Booze Cruise and Roy finally set a date for the wedding. Until then, they could make jokes about how long Roy and Pam had been engaged, and Jim could half-assedly date other women (especially Amy Adams). But once they set a date then something had to happen. I'm glad they finally got it out of the way.
It sets up all kinds of awkwardness for next season, which is exactly what this show thrives on.
I had something on Thursday night and had to wait and watch it on TiVo late that night. My girlfriend had already called me in between and given up the ending. Though she didn't think she did. All she said was..."Have you watched The Office yet? Oh, I won't spoil it for you, but the ending is GREAT!" Gee...what could that have meant.
My only doubt was when Jim and Jan were sitting on the car. But I had that "the ending is GREAT!" running through my mind, so I knew it was going to end with Jim finally saying something to Pam.
Toby: "I don't even play poker. But taking all of Michael's chips? That felt really good. I'm going to chase that feeling."
Kevin: "We don't get many gigs. Or play in front of people, ever. We really need Pam's wedding."
Kevin's going to be crushed when the wedding gets called off.
My Dwight bobblehead came this weekend - all I need now is a desk to place it upon.

Quote from: Slaky311 on May 11, 2006, 10:45:57 PM
But, I'm a sap and I will admit it, even at the risk of being called gay by Fork, that the Jim and Pam thing was one of the biggest TV highlights in the last umpteen years for me. That was incredible.
I have to disagree here. I think they have changed the entire genetic makeup for the show and it can never be put back. Sure I wanted Jim and Pam together, but I could have waited another 4 seasons.
I look at a show like Cheers, and how they drew out Sam and Diane's relationship for the better part of 6 seasons. The lack of complication that comes from a relationship from your main love story leaves the show funny and light hearted. Hell, even the chimps who wrote Friends had the good sense to have Ross and Rachel wait a couple years before putting them together. Jim and Pam's kiss was irresponsibly impatient.
So much of this show is built around subtlety. I have the highest of respect for the writers of the Office, as they currently churn out the best show on television every week. However, this time the writers went the way of the cookie cutter sitcom and brought the audience a convienient, unoriginal resolution far before one was necessary. I had come to expect more from this show.
I have to agree with Ivy. I was originally a David Brent snob who has very much warmed up to the American version of The Office, but I think the BBC did it right when the kiss between Dawn (Pam) and Tim (Jim) basically ended the series. Of course, the BBC version had a very short run, so the kiss came at around the same time as Pam and Jim's. I just think that the most compelling story is between Pam and Jim, and they certainly can't un-kiss now.

"Looks like I've got a pair of queens. I'm gonna drop a deuce on everyone."
Lately, I've been saying this before I head to the bathroom. I've found that it gets at least a chuckle even from people that don't watch "The Office." I'm starting to be able to say it without starting to laugh at the end. I'd suggest practicing in a mirror if you decide to start using it. It's harder than you think.
BTW, the summer webisodes went up on nbc.com last week, and they're putting up 2 new ones each Thursday until all 10 are up.

This is one of the funniest things I've seen tonight:

It reminds of Dwight's speech to his fellow salesmen ... women.
It also reminds of the Burroughs cut-up technique -- is using those words in, y'know, the right order? And the random baby crying and train whistle blowing just add to this oddity. Well worth a watch.
All right, just ran across this. I'm a huge sap, so it got me excited for the new season. If you're not into the Jim/Pam saga, don't bother:

They're not very funny. They focus mostly on the supporting cast, who are secondary characters for a reason.
Season premiere tonight!
Can't wait. The season starts now, so it's September and we're three months past the Roy-Pam wedding date. So it's obvious that those two called it off because how could you miss out on a chance to do an episode of Michael and Dwight turned loose at a wedding reception?

So no gig for Scrantonicity?
The conference room scene was absolutely hysterical. The looks on people's faces ... wow. Just great.
Additionally:
Michael: I watch Queer as Fuck
Jan: That's not what it's called
Yeah, I was pretty neutral on the episode until they got in the conference room. Â
CREED! Â That guy is awesome.
Wow. Tear-inducing funny, with heaps of excuses to lay off the great-but-potentially-series-killing Pam/Jim thing.

They did a nice job on this in the first episode. Basically almost nothing. Perfect.
And I was howling at the TV tonight. Dogs were woken up in my hood.
Great way to handle the Pam/Jim thing, but they will eventually have to address it, hopefully without turning the show into a soap opera.
The gaydar Jim sent Dwight at the end was hilarious.
"Hey, it works"
"Oh, no"
I like how they pointed in Wilkes-Barre (I think that's where the other DunderMif locale is) that they always have to go through some sort of corporate-sponsored info sessions/sensitivity training thanks to the people in Scranton.
And Pam's ex-fiancee's mugshot for the DUI? Hysterical.
This is the funniest show on television right now.
The co-workers response to the calculator in the jello mold trick was fabulous.

Also, was Ed Helms (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1159180/) the "Big Tuna" guy? He's not listed on the show's credits, but I could've sworn it was him.

My wife actually cheered when they panned to Pam's left hand.
Chicks.
The Gay Pride Parade?! I mean come on, they have that. It's not called the Gay Shame Festival...
"Well, sir, I cannot promise that Dunder Mifflin paper is less flammable than other paper, but I can assure you that it's not more flammable."
Stanley's rant about the toaster was classic.
The look on Dwight's face when Michael asked if he could imagine Angela with another woman was great.
I made the mistake of going to www.officetally.com this morning to see how people liked the episode. There are always a few who have to be contrarian and said it was "awful" or "terrible." But honestly, last night's was one of the best, ever.
It seems obvious that the chaos in Scranton was supposed to show how without Jim there to act as some sort of voice of reason (never directly to Michael, always to other employees but with Michael watching) that there's nothing to save Michael from himself. It's also entirely possible that Jim has no idea Pam's not married. He would have transferred to Stamford before the wedding and she said she called it off just days before it was supposed to happen. The other Scranton employees could just assume Jim knows so nobody's e-mailed or called to tell him that. Apparently next week there's a paper convention and Michael, Dwight, Jim and Ed Helms all meet up at the convention. The description of the episode makes it seem like that's when Jim finds out about Pam.
Ed Helms is great. "Hey Big Tuna, you're single, right? What do you think of her? Pretty hot, yeah? She's cuh-razy!"
I liked the girl who sits behind Jim in Stamford with her, "What's with the new guy? He's always making these weird faces to the camera? What's that about?"
Excellent start to the season.

This was my favorite part- bonus points because he started eating Angela's food.
"I saw you handing out sheckles. How does somebody go about getting on that train?"
"Why do they call him The Bus?"
"Because he's afraid to fly."
"I hope that's urine."
Michael actually gave us a subliminal "That's what she said," last night, when Jan said, "I can't stay on top of you 24/7, Michael." He just looked at the camera and tried to not physically say it.
"She took the slow train from Philadelphia."
"Ain't no party like a Scranton party!"
"I love inside jokes. I'd love to be in one of those some day."
What I know about this season is boiling down to a Stamford-Scranton merger, or at the very least the closing of the Stamford branch altogether. Steve Carrell talked about how during the season Andy (Ed Helms) and Michael "get along famously." It's also been written that Helms and Rashida Jones (the one who sits behind Jim in Stamford) have been signed for the entire season, and that at some point, Jim and Rashida (I forget what her character's name is) will date. I like how the show throws in little things to make us realize that for all of his weird and awkward mannerisms, Michael's actually a pretty good salesman. He closed the account with the count last year at Chili's and apparently last night he and some mid-level Hammermill guy pounded out an agreement to let Dunder Mifflin sell their paper. If I had to guess, I'd say the Scranton branch costs less to run than the Stamford one does, and probably has a bigger share of a smaller market, leading to Dunder closing Stamford and sending some of those employees out to other branches. Just a guess, though.

What I know about this season is boiling down to a Stamford-Scranton merger, or at the very least the closing of the Stamford branch altogether. Steve Carrell talked about how during the season Andy (Ed Helms) and Michael "get along famously." It's also been written that Helms and Rashida Jones (the one who sits behind Jim in Stamford) have been signed for the entire season, and that at some point, Jim and Rashida (I forget what her character's name is) will date. I like how the show throws in little things to make us realize that for all of his weird and awkward mannerisms, Michael's actually a pretty good salesman. He closed the account with the count last year at Chili's and apparently last night he and some mid-level Hammermill guy pounded out an agreement to let Dunder Mifflin sell their paper. If I had to guess, I'd say the Scranton branch costs less to run than the Stamford one does, and probably has a bigger share of a smaller market, leading to Dunder closing Stamford and sending some of those employees out to other branches. Just a guess, though.
I thought about that when Jim and (Chip from Whose Line) whipped out their Blackberries.

The BBC version handled the merging of the branches perfectly.

Toby walking into an empty room with just Pam, and walking straight the hell out -- now that was funny. Only too funny, because I fully suspect I'll be doing the same over 100 times when I start my office gig.
As good as The Office was last night, and oh, she was good, I'd have to motion that Earl was even better. Earl was always good, but their season finale from last season was absolutely insane. They've been on fire ever since. Excuse me, my eye keeps twitching. Jump for Joy!
Last night was one of those rare times when Earl went from "The Office Opening Act" to something more. Earl was hilarious last night. I always like the show, but that was one of their finest efforts. Of course it was set up as the perfect storm, it was 30 minutes of Joy in her two natural habitats, prison and a strip club. Hilarious. The stuff they get away with (especially now that they're on at 7 p.m.) astounds me. Bravo. It's almost enough to allow me to forgive Greg Garcia for creating "Yes, Dear."
Almost.
Anyone who still pays attention to the Emmys (Emmies?) needs to look at the fact that "Scrubs" finally got nominated in an off-year, and "Earl" didn't get nominated at all.

That's true for "best comedy series" but that was Scrubs' only nomination, while Earl got 5 noms- winning twice (comedy directing, comedy writing.) The Office won outstanding comedy series.

Ok...who wouldn't pick that chick in Jim's new office over Pam? Pam's cute and all, bu the other chick is ethnic. And she plays VIDEO GAMES!?! You hit that, Jim Halpert. You hit that for all of us.
I really dug how Michael got back at Dwight.
And Creed standing at Pam's desk...
This season's episodes seem to kinda start off slow before REALLY taking off in the last half.

So did I. But I was, like, young. And stuff.
But I agree, she's hot. Pam is still Pam and all but she's emotionally barren.

It had a real
The Wizard meets
Varsity Blues vibe to it. Here's a brief synopsis:
Jim and Ed Helms go on the road to the road to the West Coast Video Game Championships cuz they found out that Ed Helms has a real natural talent for
Call of Duty. Rashida Jones goes along for the ride cuz her car gets the best gas mileage and she wants to see the Mississippi River before Ed Helms dies(we find out that he has an incurable type of brain cancer that also, possibly, is the reason for his newfound video game abilities). The Jim/whatshername romance is set up by this exchange...
that one chick: [Jim tries to kiss whatshername but gets shoved down] I know what you were trying to do and you can just forget it. There is no way. I am not kissing a boy.
Jim: A girl maybe?
that one chick: You smart ass!
[Grabs Jim and kisses him]
Meanwhile, in Scranton, Michael is tryin' to sell Dwight on the idea of taking over for him when he decides to try his luck in California. Dwight resists. The love of Angela has made him content to serve out the rest of his days as a salesman and her gentleman caller. There are tears and arguments and a couple punches thrown. Then, Michael and Dwight are lying on the floor of Michael's office, bloody and beaten. Michael has to leave for California in 15 minutes. It's zero hour, 9 A.M. They finally decide to
really talk. Maybe for the first time...
Michael: Dwight, we need to talk about this position.
Dwight: I'm NOT doing it, Michael.
Michael: That's what she said. Er, uh...Regional Manager of Dunder-Miflin Scranton branch is the opportunity of a lifetime.
Dwight: For YOU. Regional Manager of Dunder-Miflin Scranton branch was the opportunity of a lifetime for YOU. But, I...don't want...your life.
Then, Michael finally understands and they hug it out. Michael leaves the office. Never to return. Or IS he?
He goes to California and runs into Jim, Ed Helms, and Rashida Jones. He realizes that these are the people he needs to be around to be happy. But, Michael needs to talk it out with Ed Helms first. They take a ride together. Ed Helms is gonna tell Michael about the brain tumor, but, before he can, they get in an accident. When they wake up, they're in some sort of backroom with a guy in cop uniform and a bearded dude. It doesn't look good. But we're out of time for this week. It goes to a musical montage to finish the show. Pam's crying on Phylis's shoulder. She loved MICHAEL, and she just realized it. Jim and Rashida Jones go to second base. Pam who? Roy finds solace in the arms of Kevin. It seems that he IS like a big teddy bear. And Dwight enters a private investigator's office.
Dwight: I hear your the sort of person that can find people.
Veronica Mars: First, we need to discuss my fee.
As you can tell, you missed a lot, SD. I'm looking forward to the mystery of aspect of the show.
I think I need to rewatch yesterday's episode.
You just blew my mind with that. Next week, I too, am going to drop acid and watch.

that's the deleted scenes of this week. I can't believe they cut Creed's stuff. He LIVES under his desk!

That would also help prolong the series, honestly.
The idea of having a robot made with light up eyes to commemorate someone's passing is fantastic...
Was this something people instantly enjoyed or does it take time? I've tried watching a couple times (I wanted to hang out with the cool kids) and got kind of bored. I'm willing to give it another shot if that's what it takes, but it may just not be for me.

Some of it is self-referential, so that may be hurting your enjoyment of it. It's sort of like
Seinfeld used to be, where there were inside jokes that rewarded you if you were part of "the club." I'd give it some more time, if I were you.
Jim and Pam talked! OMG! Soooo cute.
Right? Anyone?
Just as you plant the seed in the ground, I will plant my seed in you.
I thought Dwight's cousin Mose(sp?) was cuter with his Amish beard and FEAR tshirt.
"He seemed nice."
"Mose where are all the animals?"
You don't have to wrestle Mose. Just get in the coffin.

Then we're both guilty of doing the non-sensible thing. I watched the LCS, you attended a play written by a mistress. I'm sure we both walked away feeling a little lighter in the lower abdomen (or is my prostate not choking my off the shipment from my kidneys anymore?).

Ah, Ugly Betty. Go figure. The wife has made me watch all of the episodes of it. It's not as crappy as it looks. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 possible points.
Of course, it's pretty damned stupid to watch it rather than the Office (which rates an 11).

Right after Pam sent that text message, my phone went off. It wasn't Pam, though. It was some person that sent me a text this morning at 6:30 asking where I was. They wanted to know what happened to us hanging out. I don't know this person. I sent a text back saying that I wanted to just cut off all communication. They aren't the kind of person I wanna be hanging out with at 6:30 in the morning.
Ohhh, so this is why I didn't want to pick evening hours. Son of a bitch! You guys should have stopped me.
Goodbye, The Office. I will miss you (or at least until allfg uploads the latest ep).

Quote from: Andy on November 06, 2006, 04:27:39 PM
What did they say about Zach Braff?
It was "Kelly likes Zach Braff." Meaning, of course, that they thought Ryan was Zach Braff.
On a side note, Zach Braff is a stupidface. I want to punch him. Leaving an amazing show to dedicate his time to making B movies is dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Apparently, Scrubs is going to try to go on without him...But I can't imagine how. He's the hub for nearly every relationship on the show.
Good episode. I'm headed to watch the Producer's cut.
So are Pam and Karen going to date? That's sort of what I'm hoping for.
It's supposed to be supersized episodes next week. Since Earl, the Office, and 30 Rock are the only good comedies they have, why doesn't NBC just do this every week? Scrubs is alright, too, and I guess it's gonna be on Thursdays, but I don't really see how funny it's gonna be once Zach Braff leaves.

NBC really needs to make
The Office an hour-long show.
QuoteScrubs is alright, too, and I guess it's gonna be on Thursdays, but I don't really see how funny it's gonna be once Zach Braff leaves.
A show based on the Cox or Kelso characters might get me laughing, but I really don't think
Scrubs will make it a full season without Braff. He's way too important to everything in that show. Zach Braff can eat my gay dad's gay dick.
The faxes to Dwight from future Dwight were priceless.
In a commentary on the season 2 DVD the producer says that they cut about 10 minutes out of every Office every week anyway, so they wouldn't be "stretching" to make it to 40 minutes (that's like 31 minutes without commercials compared to 22 minutes without commercials for a half hour). I'm not so sure Earl could pull that off, and I know 30 Rock couldn't. 30 Rock only brings the funny for about six of the 22 minutes they have now anyway, and that's being generous.
Last night's Office was one of the best ever. Michael's hilarious angst face after he told everybody the branch was closing is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. As was the whole "We did it! We did it! We did it! How did we do it?" scene with Dwight.
As always, the little stuff was priceless.
Roy talking about Cinderella's great "Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone"
Michael's "My Humps" ring tone
Faxes from Future Dwight
Ryan's business cards
"Show me a farm that has Phyllises and Kevins running around. Show me that farm."
Jim's, "Michael Scott may be a lot of things. But he would never do THAT."
Andy taunting Jim "In your face!" for Scranton closing
Andy throwing the napkins around in the break room
Stanley's excitement about getting to retire
"Am I a relocation person or a severance package?" "Well, that decision hasn't been made and...you're a severance person."
"Like Romeo and Juliet...the Claire Danes one."
Dwight acting like the Dunder-Mifflin CEO
And on, and on, and on. Watched it at 7:30, watched CSI. Watched The Office again. Tremendous.

Last night's episode might have been my favorite yet. I definately have to watch it again this weekend. So many great moments. I haven't laughed that hard since Borat. Okay, that wasn't that long ago, but Dwight v. the Ed Helms was even better than I expected; the new black guy giving "the sign" to Stanley; Creed watching the chick breast feeding and putting it up as his screen saver; the alcoholic getting excited about the champaign; Dwight and Michael "helping" the fat guy, etc. etc. Great stuff.

Of all the painfully awkward moments on this show, for some reason that one was the most painful for me to watch. If Gervais and Merchant wrote it, I now know why.

I can't believe the lady with the child collects a paycheck, she adds nothing, except for Creed's screensaver moment. Andy talking about frisbee with pam and eventually singing in his "high 80's voice" on the banjo was ridicurous. I loved it.
I'm trying to figure out if she's the same woman who was a writer for Conan in the late 90s, she appeared in a bunch of skits. She was also a Glenn Frey groupie in Adam McKay's brilliant short film, "The H is O."
Off to imdb.
Edit: it's not her. Man, fuck Ursula Burton.
Loved the "Ainbowray Onnectioncay." I don't know if Ed Helms is long for the show, but every scene he's in is tremendous.
My Rashida Jones crush has advanced to the stage where I was flipping through the channels and saw a scene in Little Black Book (the tremendously horrific Brittany Murphy-Ron Livingston movie) that she was in, and kept watching to see if she'd come back.

Ed Helms is back on the Daily Show - his first show back, he said he'd been "on assignment" in Scranton.
Today is my department's Christmas Party. We are having a casino night. As soon as we walk into the place, I will be shouting: "WELCOME TO MONTE CARLO!".
Forgot the glow sticks though.
Looks like someone else has a thing for the Asian women.
Someone other than whom?
Mac from Night Court.
I marked her arm.
Well, you know how all waitresses look alike.
C'mon, we're going to Asian Hooters.
Michael marking her arm is my TV moment of the year.
And Kevin's angst filled Karaoke of Alanis Morrisette had me laughing in the car this morning..."You, you, you , you, you ought to know!"
I enjoyed Dwight being separated from the others at the Benihana and yelling things from off camera to stay in the conversation.
Andy: It's called a Noggasaki. It's one part egg nog and three shots of saki.
Michael: Carol used to get a little mustache when she drank milk.
Dwight: Carol had a mustache? What?
Michael: Let me get the gang. Ryan, Jim, Dwight, come on, we're going to Asian Hooters.
Ryan: Oh, sorry I can't go. I've got a ton of work to do. I'm not feeling well. I have MSG allergies. I just ate their last night.
Jim: Thanks for taking all the excuses.
Andy: It was like she didn't know me. I'd been buying coffee from her stand for a year! Can you believe that?
Jim: Yes, I can.
Kelly singing "We Belong" was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. She's thisclose to boiling a bunny.
The look of terror on Jim's face when he realized Karen and Pam are becoming friends was priceless.
Just wanted to add that my girlfriend laughed her little Cambodian-American ass off about the mark on the arm.
Teriyaki. Steak. Ablls.
I was amused that Michael wouldn't spend 99 cents on the full version of "goodbye my lover" but rather kept playing the 30 second ITunes sample over and over.

He just needed a taste.
My asian girl loved the "I don't go into your house and take your hello kitty backpack" line after one of the waitresses tried taking a nutcracker.
I almost pissed myself when they showed the photoshop michael did over his girl's ex-husband and kids on vacation..

It was a bold move.
My favorite part of the episode was Creed's new haircut. I spent the rest of the episode feeling bad for Phyllis.

Has that been explained away? Just Mike Scott settling for whatever two waitresses would come along? Or confusing the latter two for the former two, as he did at the party? Are we left to our own devices? Surely the people behind the Office can't give the American viewing public THAT much credit, we can't think for ourselves ...

It's Jan. There was some web promo for the Jan. 4 episode and it had Michael showing a vacation slideshow to the office. Naturally, there's a picture of a topless woman sunbathing and Pam asks "Is that Jan?"

It's amazing that Jan would agree to go, but yeah, it had to have been her. Michael has some brass balls to ask her to go. Although I think it has more to do with his cluelessness.
It's too bad the girl from Benihana's had school. I'm sure they would have had fun.

OH. Yeah, now I remember. I also remember being confused.
When that happened on the show. I also remember being confused earlier in the thread.
But I'm not anymore.
I'm still confused about the thing on the show, though. That hasn't changed. The only thing that's cleared up is what I should be confused about.
Maybe the deleted scenes on NBC.com will clear things up.
Yeah, I just watched it again (Darryl saying, "this is the greatest night of my LIFE") and still don't get it. Either I'm an idiot, or this is like Cow Tools. I'm leaning toward the former.

I'm thinking that they just had to shoehorn the product placement in there, and didn't feel like writing an actual joke to go with it.

Dwight will face a really strong ninja hot chick. Witty banter will ensue.

The only thing I could reason was that he was trying to show the picture of jan/michael on the ipod, it was around the time when they were tearing down the pictures...
Fool me once, strike one. Fool me twice, strike...three.
I'm pretty flattered. I was Stanley's second choice ... after 'pass.'
I thought Dwight was doing some weird Dwight thing on that sales call, but it was all part of the master plan. What a team!

If she doesn't end Kelly and Ryan first, because she hates those two people more than anyone else in the world.
Also, Stanley's sales call was awesome.
I like Stanley in the car.
"You sounded like my niece. And she's 6 months old."
An excellent episode last night.
Dwight getting ready to Motley Crue in the car, Jim slapping him in the face, Andy's anti Dwight work, Stanley and Ryan together.
Also loved Jim driving Dwight in the back seat, and then slamming the brakes when going backward and then Jim's look when he does it (Jim's funniest bits are becoming the parts where he says nothing at all). Also was great to see how well Michael could sell (which we have seen bits of), and how well Jim and Dwight can work together. Really looking forward to what Angela does to Andy in the next couple of weeks.

He's probably realizing Jan is a psychotic bitch and is wondering what the hell he's gonna do now that he got what he wanted. Stanley gave Ryan exactly what he deserved last night. Ryan has turned into such a little prick. That was great. I guess Jim is really into Karen. Nice move on his part. My girlfriend just about cried when she realized that.

As is every other straight man in America. She even looked good when she was horribly done up (I loved Phyllis's look when they revealed why they had gotten done up so ridiculously).
I love the fact that Michael is such a good salesman, as someone already pointed out. He's such an idiot with everything else, that it gives some sense of realism to the fact that he worked his way up to regional manager. I just figure he was too good of a salesman to fire and he stuck around long enough to outlast everyone else and get the position. Great stuff.
Also liked how Dwight asked if anyone wanted to exhange sales team partners and Jim said he would. And those Sebrings, that is sure one fine motorcarriage.

As is usually the case, I work late on Thursdays and don’t yet have a DVR but, thank to that questionable site that SD linked us up to, I can still hang. Haven’t sent this episode yet, but am looking forward to it just to see some more of Stanley shining.
Last year, Kevin was my favorite secondary character, but Stanley has basically closed the gap. I’ve said it before, but what’s great about this show is the depth of these secondary characters.
In addition to Michael's sales ability, last night showed Dwight's. I think they mentioned that he was their top rep during last season, and it was nice to see him in action. The biggest (and kind of only) flaw that I saw in the BBC version was that David Brent was always a doofus, and never showed an ability to sell anything.

Last year, Kevin was my favorite secondary character, but Stanley has basically closed the gap. I’ve said it before, but what’s great about this show is the depth of these secondary characters.
I still think Kelly is pretty underrated. She hasn't been on much lately, but if she's on an episode, she usually has at least one pretty good line.
We be-long together, Ryan...
I'm still singing that around the house in her annoying voice. can't help it. too funny.
Me and my girlfriend heard that song in the car not too long after the episode aired. She sang it and slipped my name in there with the Kelly-look in her eyes. I proposed immediately after that and now she's my fiance.*Â
*what really happened was I started laughing and she did, too. we're not really engaged.
That's a cute story. But if that song ever played in a car while I was in it, I'd open the door and jump out. Don't care if the sumbitch was moving or how fast.
If you were with me, then I wouldn't let you jump out. We belong together, Apex.
Wait, you asked Apex to marry you?

Dwight is now gone, which is totally awesome.
Why is he gone, he was such a nice guy?
No, he was not, he was a total douche.
Doompaty Doomp!
He'll be back in the next episode.
I don't think any of us really thought Dwight was gone for good. Now, that nbc.com message board, on the other hand...
I don't like Ryan.
At all.

Nope, he's a jerk. But I laughed out loud when he drew the tilde over the N for the Mexican Lemonade.

In addition to Michael's sales ability, last night showed Dwight's. I think they mentioned that he was their top rep during last season, and it was nice to see him in action. The biggest (and kind of only) flaw that I saw in the BBC version was that David Brent was always a doofus, and never showed an ability to sell anything.
Intrepid Reader: David BrentQuote"What is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? It's the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasn't when I increased profits by seventeen per cent, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went, 'Mr. Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?', so. (beat) Didn't happen in the end. We had to let him go, he was rubbish. He was rubbish"

Tilde? Â What? Â That's called a squiggly line, dude. Â
They've done a good job of making it so I don't care if Andy or Karen leaves now. Â Actually, I still want Karen there cuz she's hot. Â But then it would just turn into Friends or the thing that's How I Met Your Mother has become. Â
Did you enjoy your gay-cation?
I thought of that like two seconds after you left.
Dwight working in a Staples while waiting for something better to come along?
Shit. I'm Dwight.
I can't stand Ryan anymore.
It looks like were getting closer to Karen and Andy leaving.
Dwight's three resume versions and his words to describe himself were great.
"I liked you better as an intern."
"So did I."
Awesome episode. Of course I say that every week. Dwight psyching himself up for interviews was great. Who'd a thought that Dwight is the glue that keeps Dunder Mifflen rolling? There has to be a final conflict between Dwight and Andy that ends in Andy's departure. I can't see that ending any other way.
I also saw that NBC has picked up the Office for next season. I hope they don't lose any key people. I don't know how much longer Steve Carrell can keep doing a network show. He's kind of a big deal.

You need to get your own bobblehead.
That was an overreaction. I'm going to go to the break room. Anybody need anything?
My favorite moment was Dwight ripping his Staples shirt off as he left and throwing it at the rack of shopping carts. Then, arriving at Dunder Mifflin in a Battlestar Galactica shirt and saying, "Did you do this for me?" as they showed a closeup of the "Welcome Back Oscar" banner.
"If you want to ride in on a donkey, we'll get you a donkey."
"I'm gonna get my beer on. Gonna get my 'Lost' on."
Loved Michael's line about how anybody can be so completely self "unaware" while hiding behind his door in his office.

The producer's cut over at the NBC site is pretty damn good. Kelly asks Oscar if he likes Lance Bass more now. Oscar tells her he has no idea who that is, and she responds that he needs to know more about his culture. They shouldn't have cut that.

Seconded. While Ryan has become a complete tool, it's just because he's so annoyed with himself for taking a permanent job there, that he hates everything about the office, including Jim's antics. Honestly, if I really hated that job (and myself for working it), Jim would be pretty annoying, and I'd probably act just like Ryan. His character really has some bite to it now. Good stuff.

It's great. I like the fact that they don't go down the "watered-down Jim" path, some snarky-but-charming guy for the blogger girls to adore. You can't stand the guy, and have no reason to. Just leave it like that. Don't add anything.

My wife and I just purchased Season 2 and have been watching it for the last couple days. They really laid the groundwork nicely for Ryan becoming a complete tool. I still don't necessarily like him, but it's good character development.

What I think is the best news in that article is that there is going to be a sequel to
"Harold and Kumar"
That was pretty weak.

I watched "Harold and Kumar" with the...ahem..."appropriate" accessories at my disposal and hardly laughed.
As far as stoner comedies go, it was a major disappointment.
A decent, but not great episode last night. It really did not do much. Since Andy was not on, I was wondering if they were just going to bump him. Good to see that he will live on though.
I love Harold and I love Kumar equally, they can do no wrong.
Huey, try watching Grandma's Boy with some accessories. You'll come back and curse my name for suggesting you watch such a dumb movie, but I swear, all the people I've told to watch it have loved it.

No....Yes
I really can't decide if Jim's girlfriend is hot. Sometimes she's attractive and sometimes she looks like a usded hooker after she's come off her heroin high. good Ep. Loved Dwight in a bra.
Were you near-sighted or far-sighted?
Both. That's why I invented the bi-focal.
GAHHHHHH!!!!!!
I'm 99 percent sure that Jim was lying when he told me that is the real Ben Franklin.
I found this episode lacking.
Although I was quite certain Michael was going to spill his milk when the stripper was grinding on him. That would have been funny.

He's not funny period. The whole character is over the top and whereas Brent would say something stupid and try to correct it and end up only making it worse. The Michael Scott character is just obnoxious. And they have to beat every joke to death. It's getting to the point with almost each joke they have to make a face into the camera just to make sure we get the joke. The show has turned into a typical sitcom minus a laugh track and it's bordering on a soap opera with all of the drama and office romances they've got going on.

Last season was good. The characters, situations and humor worked. This season they've been forcing the humor way too much. It's supposed to be a reality show. It's lost that element. I'm hoping that it returns to form, but as the season progresses it moves more towards the soap opera and sitcom. It hasn't jumped the shark yet, but Fonzie is putting on the water skis.
"The CELTICS were a great team."
That's what I was preaching from the get-go. Brent is a lot more realistic than Scott, which I think makes him more sympathetic (and funnier). I've really come to love the American version, and I think the secondary characters are better than the BBC version, but Brent >>>>>>>>>>>> Scott.
Michael is way over the top...the wedding episode was the worst yet. In the past whenever Michael would do something totally ridiculous, or when he was so pathetic that it went beyond funny to sad, they had him do something redeeming. Something that made him seem likable or competent. It seem like they have forgotten about that, and I wish they would tone it down a little, but I still think it is the funniest show on TV.
I've only seen a few episodes of the original Office, but I love Extras. I need to check it out.

You could get through the entire series in a weekend easily. And it would be worth every minute. J-Kerm and I have the first season of Extras sitting right here, and I'm trying to talk her out of watching the Grammys in favor of it.

From what I've seen of the original Office, meaning the first three or four episodes,the storylines are about the same. I assume after awhile the American version went a different direction?
You assume correctly.

That's my only gripe about the show as well. The dude is a boob. Why would anyone invite him anywhere? Why would anyone want to work for him?Â

No one's ever gotten 6 weeks off before.
If you make him a part of the wedding knowing what a boob he is, you deserve to have your wedding ruined, regardless of the vacation time.
Anyway...IS it me or are they making Pam's ex more likable now?

They're definitely trying. Don't buy into it though, JW. He's just trying to get you to like him again, and then he'll break your heart.
Roy is still a moron...he's just laying on the aw shucks charm because he's desperate to get Pam back. If they end up getting back together, I imagine he'd go back to Old Roy pretty quickly.

The criticism about Michael being too over-the-top is valid, but this week’s episode was a rather extreme example of it, so I wouldn’t break out the shark fins just yet. And even still, this episode had plenty of moments where I was laughing out loud.
Dwight: You look as pretty as the Queen of England.
Michael. “Let them eat cakeâ€. Margaret Thatcher said that. She was one smart broad.
Meredith: You know you’re not supposed to wear white to a wedding?
Kelly: I know. But it was an emergency (she later reveals the “emergency†to be that she “looks fantastic in whiteâ€).
Kevin giggling like a schoolgirl in the church pew after not believing how Toby found his hot date. For that matter, Tobyâ€"usually an extremely drab characterâ€"showing some emotion and giving himself a shout-out.
I even liked the “Celtics were a great team†line that KD mentioned. What was even funnier, to me, was that Michael Mentioned Robert Parrish. That’s an odd little nuance, no? For one thing, the dementia-riddled uncle was probably referring to the late 60’s Celtics of Bill Russell and Hondo Havlicek, but the fact that Michael thought of Chief before Bird and McHale was pretty funny, IMO.
Yeah Michael can make the show really painful and overbearing, but I wouldn’t ditch it. There are still plenty of laughs to be had.
JIM: What are you doing?
DWIGHT: I don't know. All of a sudden my mouth tastes really bad.

I shot a werewolf once. But then by the time I got to it, it had turned back into my neighbor's dog.
Oscar and his companion were meeeeeeeeeeeeeeean. But right on.
I liked this episode. Ryan's sitting by Kelly now. RIGHTEOUS. Creed chased a bat(Animals can't feel pain.) AWESOME. Michael Scott through candy and rubbed his Chunky all up on Pam. SWEET. Way to go Joss Whedon.
And writers. Way to go writers.
You're with me, Vampire Jim.

Ryan has never made a sale. And he started a fire while trying to cook ... a cheesy pita.
Ryan is such a douche. Nice to see him get bitch slapped by Michael. I wonder if Jim will take his old desk back...
"Do you have the tools to turn a broomhandle into a stake?"
"What gauge?"
and
"I'm a hero"
I love it that Stanley saw that bat and just headed home..
also that Toby was saying how he'd rather miss his daughter's play than pam's art show, because kid's plays aren't "really artistic".
wikipedia has some pretty funny info on each of the characters on the show..

"I don't fire people, I hire people. Inspire people."
When Michael started his business school lecture he played a fanfare from a Teaching Company tape. Nice touch.
"Your art was the prettiest...of all the art."
Toby's got a thing for Pam, now. Funny how he shows it, by dissin' his own daughter.
Kelly at the end with the "OMG" x infinity. That was hilariously blistering insanity.
Yet more long stretche of uncomfortable Michael, but it somehow managed to break through. Ryan's definitely a defeatist punk.
Pretty strong effort.
I'd like a warning from NBC when they're going to turn the last half of The Office into Grey's Anatomy.
Dwight was funny. The potato salad was funny. I thought Karen's joke on Jim was funny.
Roy's reaction was intense. I wouldn't wanna be Jim Halpert right about next week.

For the most part I liked it. Some good lines,
"I'll just collapse like a dying star."
Creed and Toby
I am not a fan of introducing drama into a comedy, so I don't like where Roy/Jim/Pam is going. Although, I could be surprised.
Yeah, I was disappointed after the Pam/Roy thing, but, after thinking about it, realized there were still definitely a few funny moments.
"Good thing you didn't listen to me."
"Yeah, that was a close one..."
30 Rock blew it out of the water last night in the comedy department, though. The Office came up second in Best Drama after Scubs.

We just started watching 30 Rock a few weeks ago, with the Paul Reubens prince episode. Excellent show. Alec Baldwin's character is great and the rest of the cast is pretty strong in my opinion.
I kept laughing at Dwight. That was the whole show to me. Usually is anymore. Most of this doesn't make sense and that's what's supposed to be so funny. I feel bad because I don't think it is. Michael rolling around on the floor in a straight jacket? Good sight gag but not hilarious. Calling himself Michael the Magic was though.
All in all I'd say,
Dwight: Teh ablls.
Episode: Not teh ablls.
I did watch Slap Shot on HBO right afterward and it was funny. Not a wasted effort on the couch. Go me.

The straight jacket bit? Next episode they should have Michael pull up to house to meet a teenage girl he met on line and he gets busted. That would be funny. Wouldn't it? Just random out of character bits that the writers think would be funny.
The secondary characters are still funny, but the Toby/Pam/Roy/Jim/Karen thing is taking over the show. Especially with last night's "dramatic" ending. It was one thing when (UK version) Lee shoved Tim when he was dancing with Dawn. He saw Tim with his finance and reacted. But this is turning into so much DRAMA and it's pretty thin at that.
I'm not pissed off. It's TV show so I don't give a toss. Earl is still good. Randy's comment about missing the beginning of Cannonball II cracked me up.

One big thing: did Karen say she was the only one left from the merger? Where the F is Andy?
Karen mentioned that Andy is in anger management.
Andy is in anger management. I didn't hear Karen say it, but the director's cut from the episode where Andy went ballistic because he couldn't find his phone showed him going at the end. He was trying to convince himself that he's still on the path to upper management, because, after all, anger management is still management.
I liked last night episode. Jan's a fucking freaky psycho bitch, but she was great. So many uncomfortable moments. I didn't see Roy's outburst coming at all. I'm not sure I like where this is going. A little too 90210 for me. We won't find out for about 6 weeks, as the Office will be on hiatus until then. Damn.
Is this oak?
I don't know.
"Oh good...you're up."
"These studs are way too far apart."
"You are dressed just like the servants!"
"Why is this so hard...that's what she said. Oh, no, I'm doing it."
I enjoyed Karen messing with Jim about all of her ex-boyfriends. She's the balls. I'm going to miss her.
I loved Roy's reaction. He just whipped that beer bottle at the mirror, and his brother, not seeming to know or care why they were breaking stuff, just joined right in.
"Are we going to get arrested?"
"No, I paid them off."
"The Jet Ski money?"
"All of it."
"Yes, we did set a date. But I don't want to talk about it. I could use some space here!"
"I run a small fake ID business out of my car, with a laminating machine I stole from the Sherriff's office."
Still the funniest show on TV.
30 Rock? The first rule of 30 Rock still applies. When it's not about Tina Fey, it's funny, when it is...it's...not so funny.

She's not a psycho bitch, she's just pregnant. I heard a rumor that one of the couples was going to have an unexpected pregnancy and I'm guessing that we now we know who. The "I'm sick" at the end gave it away. I can't wait to see Michael's reaction when he finds out.
I can't believe I'm asking this (I guess it IS a soap opera, after all), but didn't Jan make a point to drink a N/A beverage at the party? I've already deleted the episode.
I was talking about that the next day, but I couldn't remember. I remember seeing her with a drink in her hand, but I couldn't remember if it was alcoholic or not. Would be pretty bad on NBC's part to have her drinking and then reveal she was pregnant.
Yeah, I just watched a deleted scene, and she had a martini. Then it jumped to a shot of her smoking. Then she snorted four huge rails.

Funniest shit (not written by Paul) I've read all week. Cheers, Fork.
They've had, like, 567 reruns in a row.
Will somebody please tell me if tonight is a first-run episode?
No. It's a marathon. New episode next week.
My Dwight Schrute bobblehead (and 1989 Eastern Div. champs button) were the first things to make it to my new job.
Gotta let them know who the jackhammer is.
Marathon was great, BTW. The only time I got up from the couch was when Andy Richter's show inexplicably came on during the 8:30-9:00 slot.

The Richter show was inspired genius. Harve Presnell had a good baritone voice in the 60's and 70's and was a Broadway leading man. He now plays a retired tough-guy private detective who is a loose canon and is likely to beat up or shoot innocent bystanders who don't have the right answers to his non-sensical questions. However, he has an irrational fear of chickens and the sight of them will totally paralyze him. Richter, the CPA/private detective, has two more sidekicks. A Pakistani restaurant owner and the misfit who played the youngest brother in "Arrested Development". This is not a show that can be ignored.

The Richter show was inspired genius. Harve Presnell had a good baritone voice in the 60's and 70's and was a Broadway leading man. He now plays a retired tough-guy private detective who is a loose canon and is likely to beat up or shoot innocent bystanders who don't have the right answers to his non-sensical questions. However, he has an irrational fear of chickens and the sight of them will totally paralyze him. Richter, the CPA/private detective, has two more sidekicks. A Pakistani restaurant owner and the misfit who played the youngest brother in "Arrested Development". This is not a show that can be ignored.
It's too wierd to last very long. That being said, the show where the guy had the grabber on the golf course was steak balls.

He came back and said he graduated from anger management the same way he graduated from Cornell: On time.
Then he walked into the Office and said hello to everyone before Dwight drilled him in the face with pepper spray. Andy screamed and collapsed and the camera cut to Dwight saying, "I am not a hero. I am a defender of the office. You know who’s a hero? Hiro, from Heroes. He's a hero. Also, Bono." Or something like that.

Awesome. Thanks for the recap. Dwight's first hero speech about superheroes being the real heroes was gold.

The show ended with a very hangdog looking Toby (is there any other look) emptying all of Dwight's weapons (numchucks, batons, throwing stars, etc etc) into a box. Also Toby's line in the middle of the show ("I wonder if Michael moved me next to Kelli and Ryan to deliberately torture me. If so... it was genius") was top notch.
If anything... it's bisexual.
Outstanding episode. Ryan and Kelly were gold, as was Angela getting so turned on by Dwight's heroism. Michael threatening to withhold sex from Jan if he didn't get a raise was excellent. It was worth the wait.
"Toby, what are you doing?"
"I'm taking notes for the deposition."

Good plan. I liked this entire scene (which I stole from that creepy OfficeTally site):
Dwight: Hey guys, listen up. Michael is up on the roof and acting
strange.
Andy: Whoa, what’s the situation?
Dwight: Un-shun. I think he’s suffering from depression. Re-shun.
Andy: Okay, when’s this shunning thing going to end?
Dwight: Un-shun. Never. Re-shun. I think he wants you all to come out to the parking lot and watch him die.
Stanley: Is it nice outside?
Dwight: It’s gorgeous. Let’s go!
Stanley: Do I need my jacket?
Dwight: No, really, it’s very nice. C’mon!
Ryan: Will I be too warm in a long sleeve tee?
Dwight: Everyone’s going to be fine in exactly what they’re wearing. Let’s go!

Just bumping this to say I know it was a rerun, and not even one of the best episodes, but I gladly re-watched it tonight instead of agonizing over the Cubs game. I was rewarded with the scene of Dwight and Pam and Dwight's coat.
Even better the second time around.
I did some heavy-duty flipping, because I wanted to watch the best pitcher in the National League mow down the Braves.
I still love the scene where Michael slowly, sadly walks up the stairs before he has to talk to Jan. Just great stuff.
I loved the exchange between Pam and Michael.
Pam: Jan called while you were out.
Michael: Did she say what it was about?
Between that and Dwight's coat, it was worth the second viewing.

This show is simply God's way of making me feel better about the crapfest that has been the Cubs season thus far.
I have the whole 3rd season up to this point on my computer. After a Cubs loss, nothing heals the pain better than a couple episodes of the office.
I have seen animals having sex in every position imaginable, goat on chicken, chicken on goat, a couple chickens doing a goat with a couple of pigs watching, so yeah they got it right.
Hilarious that Andy's girlfriend was in high school. And that he was pissed she was talking to another guy.

David Brent is one of my favorite TV characters of all time (Gob and Buster Bluth being right up there with him). My only complaint about the BBC version is that there are times when I have to rewind 5 or 6 times to figure out what they hell they're saying. Generally, it's totally worth it.
One thing the American version has on the BBC version is the secondary characters. Creed, Kevin, Brian, Kelly, and Darrell are all outstanding. The BBC version didn't really flesh out their secondary characters too much.

I'm pretty good at picking up what's said through the accent. Years of spot on imitations of Monty Python have trained my ear. Maybe. Either way it's my own God damn language. What's so f@#$in' hard? My girlfriend needs to have the subtitles on to understand a word of it.
I agree David Brent's the balls and none of the other characters, save for Gareth and occaisionally Tim with the facial expressions are very amusing. I like both shows. I like Extras better though because I can't look at Stephen Merchant without cracking up. Gervais and Larry David are two funniest blokes on television right now. No contest.

You think he would have flashed someone hot. Like Pam. Or Karen from the back.
You don't think Karen's hot from the front?
Explained.
Oh... right. Now I remember. D'ur.
I don't know if that was a new one or not but I think that was the best episode of either Office series ever. I was laughing at every scene. Just brilliant.
Jan says if it's safe, it's not worth doing.
Courage for Pam.
A heart for Angela.
A brain for Kelly.
Creed: I've got this one weird thing that I do...
Jan and I have a safety word. Foliage.
Except last time, she pretended that she couldn't hear me.
Come on, I need my girls with me. Pam. Karen. Even you, Phyllis.
Pam you draw, sort of. Go and ask Fallis to help you depict the flasher.
And Angela in Vicky's Secret was great!

So I just bought the entire set of Teh Office BBC version. Almost done with Season One. I like.
David Brent is one of my favorite TV characters of all time (Gob and Buster Bluth being right up there with him). My only complaint about the BBC version is that there are times when I have to rewind 5 or 6 times to figure out what they hell they're saying. Generally, it's totally worth it.
One thing the American version has on the BBC version is the secondary characters. Creed, Kevin, Brian, Kelly, and Darrell are all outstanding. The BBC version didn't really flesh out their secondary characters too much.
Keith and his scotch eggs get me every time, but spot on.
Is THAT what those are? I thought he was eating a sponge.
Same difference really
Oi, oi!! You take that back.

If nothing else in the episode would have happened other than Creed walking into the women's room with headphones and a surprised look, I would have still been satisfied.
What are you guys doing in here?
What are you doing in here?
I pay for this privilege!
I wish I'd prepared something to say...
That's not really necessa....
May God... guide you in your quest.
Yes.
Stanley, if you have a problem with that, then go to the back of the bus.
Andy falling into the water and floating away from the shore was probably my favorite moment of the entire season.

Excuse me?
Few other nuggets of awesomeness:
Creed plucking a live fish out of the water. Now that we know he was once homeless, this makes sense.
Stanley getting his game on when he found out what was at stake.
Dwight going down on his hands and knees on the hot coals.
Kelly doesn't know who Bob Hope is, and thinks Amanda Bynes is a comedian.
And poor, poor Tobey. He was actually in rare excited form before Michael told him he couldn't go to the beach.
Not the best episode, but still plenty of laughs.

I like how Jan thought her new job would be to work on their relationship and how she'd now wear stretchy pants.
Kevin comments on whether or not Karen or Pam were hotter was great. Meredith saying that guys didn't like breasts, they preferred seeing a girl's back was good.
Speaking of back..... (from imdb.com)
The Office star Jenna Fischer has fractured her back in four places after falling down a set of stairs in a New York bar on Tuesday. The actress, who plays Pam Beesly in the Emmy Award-winning U.S. comedy, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan after the fall at Buddakan. Her representative tells the New York Daily News, "She avoided anything scary near the spine and she'll make a full recovery in time to shoot season four of The Office this summer." Fischer most recently appeared onscreen in hit comedy Blades Of Glory opposite Will Ferrell and Jon Heder.

You're not the only one.
The episodes when they leave the office don't always work. But "It's got a nice oaky afterbirth" was a true winner.
It was certainly over the top and a tad sub-par considering we've been waiting so long, but I liked it well enough, I guess.
I know there was something that made me laugh out loud pretty hard.
But what that is, is hard to define.
I haven't watched the episode yet (it's on the DVR), but I'm really getting annoyed with this season and how often they leave the office. They're exaggerating each character so much and making them do these completely over-the-top things, and the show has completely lost it's charm. Even Dwight is becoming too over-the-top, which is saying a lot for a character like that.
I liked Jim and Pam in this episode, but a leaving the office episode shouldn't be the first after a long break.
They strayed from the characters too much. Jim would never bail on Pam like he tried.
It was cringe-worthy, but there wasn't any payoff.
Hopefully they rebound next week.

I think you're exactly right. I also think they're trying to get a little too cute with the sitations and characters. I watched some of the first and second season stuff on TBS. It was much, much better. They made much better use of the "documentary" type cameras back then.
I liked it, ya bunch of complainin' pansies.
C'mon Dwight's date? Who here thought it was his mom until Jim started talking to her (strictly carnal....ewww)? Best part was Dwight made her take the bus home, and then he subsequently passed her standing at the bus stop, and you could see he also made her lug the cooler.
I loved the hand-wringing over Michael's two-hundred dollar plasma TV. $200? What was that a 6" plasma?
I also had this discussion with Thrill at the Shoutbox about Hunter. I thought his song was about doin' it with a man, but Thrill pointed out that it was probably him doing it with Jan.
Not the best episode, surely, and surely a tad disappointing coming outta the strike. But I still found it rather enjoyable.

And Dwight's date - for me she'll always be the Sparkle Motion coach from Donnie Darko.
"Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!"
I was extremely disappointed in this episode. Not necessarily because it wasn't funny (it had its moments), but because it absolutely destroyed a few characters. Michael and Jan were WAY too over-the-top. It was a hard episode to watch with all the little, weird stuff. For instance, Michael's "bed" was just stupid. Yes, I could see him actually sleeping on that to make Jan more comfortable, but only for like a night out of the week. No human would ever sleep on that every day, no matter how weird they were. I also agree about Jim trying to walk out on Pam...that wouldn't happen. It seems like this episode was just filled with bits the writers put in to get laughs, and not to actually stick to or further develop any characters. I really hope they can go on almost pretending this episode never existed, because it just took the characters to places they should not have gone. Also, stop leaving the office! I think one episode this season has taken place almost exclusively in the office.
The minority report. You haven't lived until you have attended a dinnner party like that. You don't know how to act when you realize that your host and hostess have invited you over to witness the breakup of their relationship. I think that one of the writers had this story that he wanted to get off his chest and the others agreed to use the cast, only slightly out of character, to tell the story. It reminded me of "Who Is Afraid of Virgina Wolfe?"

Oh I know what they were trying to do, but I think it was executed very poorly. Michael and Jan were way too over-the-top, even for who they usually are.
Nobody liked Jim trying to walk out on Pam, but it was a dick move, and it was nice to see the writers attempt to execute a dick move with Halpert for once.
It wasn't enjoyable, but it was needed. And the episode was like the first episode of a season: something that sets the stage for a series of call-backs as the season moves along.
This episode was a lot like Phyllis' Wedding from season 3. It was just filled with so many cringe-worthy, embarrassing moments. It was really hard to watch.

That's what I thought, except that it was trying far too hard to be cringe worthy and embarrassing as opposed to the utter emotional hell of George and Martha.

This episode coulda used a good fart joke.
I don't think this episode was as over the top as some of the previous ones from this season, or maybe I'm getting used to it. The time they raided the other office in disguise was ridiculous. The benefit race for rabies (it was rabies right?) was ridiculous. Yeah, the dinner party melt down was a bit extreme, but it's possible for an argument to get out of hand in front of other people. Hell, I've seen it happen. Maybe that's just my family though.

I'm going to blame that dynamic on Melora Hardin. Her suckassiveness as an actress became painfully evident when they flipped her switch from "stern female boss" to "crazy beyond believable."

Yeah, I think she was a big part of the problem, although I liked her for most of seasons 2 and 3. She did a really good job up until they made her go batshit insane at about the last episode of season 3. Steve Carrell really did play the whole thing pretty well, and after re-watching it earlier today, I realized the thing between Jim and Pam really wasn't that big of a deal. He was trying to get them both out of it, and it backfired, so he had to find a way to keep the lie going. It was understandable, and not that big of a prick move.
I just hope they actually bring episodes back to inside the office. The best episode of this season, I thought, was the one where Michael makes the commercial for Dunder Mifflin, which took place almost exclusively in there. Hopefully Jan and Michael break up and this show can hit its stride again.

It's because of his condition.
Michael: She was so innocent.
Dwight: She was stoned. Apparently
Also, the meeting of the 5 families was tremendous. Quick, but tremendous. The HVAC guy didn't even seem like he was being portrayed by an actor but a genuines hard ass.
Kudos to the writers on this episode. It was incredible. I figured at the end Michael was going to get closure with Jan, but they go to the grave of a woman who (if I read it correctly) had been dead for 5 years? Brilliant. It's like the dead bird all over again. Also, Michael trying to back out of the meeting with Pam's landlady and having his drink served at the same moment had me crying. I'm glad they've managed to keep Jim and Pam interesting after getting them together, though I have a feeling there will be some wedge to come between them sooner or later.

I still haven't seen the BBC version of the show. I've been meaning to, but just haven't bought it yet. If what you mean though is it's the first time Michael's sort of been a jackass, then I agree. Though I've actually just got done re-watching season 2, and he certainly has his moments. But I think it's obvious they wanted to make Michael a little more likable. He's more of a klutz than an asshole in the American version.

Well I know Ricky Gervais' character in the BBC version is just a complete dick and really shows no compassion for anyone else. I haven't seen it, but I've gotten a pretty thorough synopsis from other people. And it's not as if I don't want to watch it, I just haven't gotten around to spending the $40 or however much it is to buy the two seasons.

I don't want to speak for them, but I'd say they're just busting your balls, Weebs. That's my expert analysis.
Also, I've never seen the English version of the Office either, but it probably sucks. Everybody who says they like it better than the American one is just some elitist dickbag, or is actually English (which is the same thing). And now that the American version of the show has become popular, they gotta come in here with that snooty bullshit, and tread on the rest of us. Well, they ain't gonna tread on me.
Rock, flag, and eagle.
Weebs, all I meant was that the scene was incredibly similar to the one used in the BBC version, which is probably the reason Michael seemed like a jackass. Observe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CebMtVe_YiQ).

Weebs, if you have Comcast with OnDemand, you can watch the first episode of the British
Office for free thanks to BBC America.
It'll look pretty familiar to you, as it's the only episode from the Brit version that was transposed wholesale to the American version.
They also currently have the last 3 episodes of the British second season available, too, but if you're gonna watch it, you might as well watch it in order.
So borrow the DVDs from this friend who was kind enough to synopsize it for you. Or rent it from Netflix, or Blockbuster or whatever. Either option should run you less than 40 clams.

This had to have been one of the weirdest episodes I've ever seen. I guess it makes sense for Ryan to develop a drug habit, but still, it just kind of comes out of nowhere. Plus there wasn't really any kind of resolution to the episode, that is to say if there was even a setup. I do think Dwight's moments were pretty incredible though, especially all the hobbit talk. It was weird how much of a fuck up Jim was this episode, but I guess they might be trying to show how his relationship with Pam may be affecting his work, or just that he's not as "perfect" as he's always seemed throughout the series.

This had to have been one of the weirdest episodes I've ever seen. I guess it makes sense for Ryan to develop a drug habit, but still, it just kind of comes out of nowhere. Plus there wasn't really any kind of resolution to the episode, that is to say if there was even a setup. I do think Dwight's moments were pretty incredible though, especially all the hobbit talk. It was weird how much of a fuck up Jim was this episode, but I guess they might be trying to show how his relationship with Pam may be affecting his work, or just that he's not as "perfect" as he's always seemed throughout the series.
Or maybe they thought it would be funny to have everyone stuck in the parking lot. I think you might be over analyzing the show a bit.
Or maybe you're under analyzing. Generally writers, especially with a show like The Office, don't just do something to do it. That's reserved for shitty comedies like Everybody Loves Raymond. I'd find it really hard to believe that a show that's grounded so much in character development would expose flaws in these characters for no reason at all.
This guy can't be real.
He has to be some hoo-ha with a midwestern sensibility having some fun with us.

Toby's gone to Costa Rica. That was weird. Dwight was good. ("I'm not going to call her.") I also liked the part where they talked about all the problems with the website. They need more stuff that takes place in the office.

Yep. Ryan's douchiness in the office was far funnier than his coke-addled NYC life-style.

Maybe I'm a dope, but last night was the first time I noticed how many of the characters share the same first name as the actor that portrays them:
Angela
Phyllis
Creed
Oscar
Bob Vance
Also, I really wish they'd reign in Dwight a little bit. He actually thinks that the guy was a hobbit? Come on. Absurd characters are what the show is all about, but when it gets absurd to the point of being completely unbelievable like that, it's more distracting to me than funny.

I'm done with this show. Once Dwight became unfunny there stopped being reasons to tune in.
Looks as if they took a little from the end of this (http://www.surfthechannel.com/info/television/The_Office_%28UK%29/60912/S1E5.html) for their plot, no? Though, it seems that Amazons are a more tasteful choice then slutty swingers, in the Colonies.

i didn't like the Hobbit stuff, but he MIGHT do something like that. He believes in vampires and all that stuff. He wants to travel to wherever LOTR was filmed. I think it's possible that he would believe in Hobbits. There. I said it. And he also made out with the tall college chick, so he was still awesome then, too.

Wow. It took me a second to remember where that came from. Good on ya.
Just got done watching tonight's episode, and I thought it was pretty good. I'm still pretty annoyed with how many episodes take place almost exclusively outside of the office, but this was one of the better ones. It's good to see Dwight back to acting like his normal self, and there were a lot of interesting things going on with Jim and Pam. I still find it odd though that Ryan and corporate would be so willing to fire Jim but not Michael. Andy's calluses from hitting over 1200 balls at the range the night before was pretty ridiculous, as was Michael's, "Look, I'd never tell this to her face, but Pam is a wonderful person and an exceptional artist."

Yeah I know it's a TV show, and maybe I over-analyze it a bit, but for a show that was so consistent with its characters and character development, it seems this season they've just done some really weird things with the characters. I'm sure the writer's strike has affected it more than anything, but there's been a couple times this season when it seemed like they were about to jump the shark.

Agreed with Tdubbs here. I don't care how consistent the characters are or how realistic it is or what's going on with Jim and Pam's relationship. I just want to laugh for a half hour. This wasn't the best episode but there were some great moments.

I think you are right about the writer's strike. I read somewhere about how the rush to get a large number of episodes on before the end of the season really cut the turn-around time compared to the usual schedule.

I'd say that and the fact that they had to write all those one hour episodes for the start of the season really screwed things up. The Office doesn't really work as a hour-long comedy, especially when they try and somehow pack together two half-hour episodes and make them a cohesive hour. It worked for the few episodes they did in season 3, but I think that's because they actually wrote them as hour episodes and just split them up for syndication, as opposed to this season which seems like they did it the other way around.

I hope it's Angela or Kelly (who, now that Brian is gone, is completely worthless), but I fear it's Andy. Toby would be a huge loss.
You're saying you think Angela or Kelly are gone from the show next week? I get the feeling Dwight will get back together with Angela, and maybe Jim will get fired or something will happen with him and Pam as far as their work life goes. I'm pretty sure Toby is gone next week because in the clips at the end of the episode you see him packing up his things and the security guard is standing off to the side waiting for him. It really wouldn't surprise me if he leaves. Paul Lieberstein was supposed to just be a writer for the show, but wound up acting more in it. That's why they had B.J. Novak (Ryan) get the job at corporate, so he could spend more time writing/producing rather than acting on the show. I'm think the same goes for Kelly, because Mindy Kaling is an executive producer of the show if I'm not mistaken.

Agreed with Tdubbs here. I don't care how consistent the characters are or how realistic it is or what's going on with Jim and Pam's relationship. I just want to laugh for a half hour. This wasn't the best episode but there were some great moments.
"We're gonna ditch this bitch."
"Kiss her. Kiss her good."

Not think. Hope. Damnit, I love Toby.
Toby does leave next week and is replaced by Holly played by Amy Ryan. I don't think anyone else is leaving. Melora Hardin (Jan) is still part of the cast and is supposed to be back at some point.

There was a rumor a few months ago that there was going to be a spin off of The Office featuring characters who were written off the show. I haven't read anything about that in a while. The strike may have affected that as well.

I thought I read something recently about it, but it hasn't been cast yet.
Considering this week's espisode is called "Goodbye, Toby", I think Toby's leaving.

I hope they make Andy more like he was before he went to anger management. He's still an awesome character, but I thought he was funnier before he punched that whole in the wall.

Well, that was an impressive episode. Amy Smart seems like she'll be a pretty good addition to the cast. The results of Dwight telling her that Kevin is retarded were epic. That was definitely the best episode of the season, and probably one of the better of the series.
Very funny, the retarded Kevin stuff had me crackin up. That's Amy Ryan I think, not Amy Smart.
Today's was great. They're all mostly hilarious. But, I must say, this show is losing it's grip on reality. Though, if it stays funny, I'll still watch...

Does anyone understand why Michael hates Toby so much? Seems a bit ridiculous. So I guess now that Ryan is gone, Jim takes his job in new york and pam goes to the city for arts school, it turns into Friends pt 2 and there is your spinoff? Phyllis was outstanding in this episode, on top of everyone's praise for Kevin, the retard. I also enjoyed it when Andy took the mic to Angela, only to knock over Darryl's keyboard.

I thought the spinoff is with Toby or Andy or something like that. I couldn't imagine them getting rid of Jim and Pam, even for their own show. I'm just guessing they get someone new to take over Ryan's job.

I thought Toby was moving to Costa Rica. Andy is definitely in the spinoff, and I think the last scene made it pretty clear as to how that's going to be facilitated.

To go along with the Suck It stuffed collie he already has?

It was good to see another prank on Dwight. I can't remember any from this season.
Also, it looks like Mrs. Kerm was right. Angela is definitely pregnant. She was friggin huge last night.

Ah, then they must have filmed before that. And actually, when they had her and Dwight making a new one in the office, it looked like she was thinner, so I'm guessing they filmed that scene afterwards.

Today's was great. They're all mostly hilarious. But, I must say, this show is losing it's grip on reality.
Compared to some of the other stuff that they've done this season, this episode was pretty normal.
The carousel for an office party and raccoon in the car just seemed to put it over the top for me; along with Angela saying "okay" to marry someone she is repeated shown to hate in the show.

I agree. I got into the office myself this mornign around 7.30, had a cup of coffee. Shot a deuce around 10.30, went to a meeting. Having lunch between 11-1. Probably set my fantasy lineup. Another meeting then. Get ready to leave. Going home around 5. Same thing every day. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE ON TELEVISION GOD DAMNIT!

Ladies room? Do you pay for that privelidge?
Well, in my defense, the carousel wasn't even one bit funny. So why fucking add it? I get the other stuff, but you should try and keep the ridiculous moments for the moments when your crying laughing (like Arrested Development did so well).

The one that they tipped on its side and made into a Ferris wheel is my guess.

I remember at one point I was watching the show and the ferris wheel appeared. I paused my DVR and pointed right at it and laughed for a good 10 to 15 minutes. I even googled it to make sure my laughter was appropriate. I mean, who puts a ferris wheel in a
parking lot? ZANY! Those writers are out of their minds! In a good way!

I'm baffled by what bocaj is talking about. I never even thought the Ferris wheel was supposed to be funny. I think it was just there, maybe as a very minor joke.

What was with that broken chair? I mean, I didn't find anything funny about that. Why would you have a broken chair on a tv show? How is that funny? I mean, I guess you could say that in a way it's just a plot device like the sideways carousel used to further the story line of Michael Scott and the new character but c'mon. A chair? That's just unrealistic. Pffft. Chairs.

I watched it tonight. This was my favorite episode of the season. Though I'll miss Toby (I loved his face when he pointed out that Pam wasn't in the picture), I sort of like how the new H.R. lady seems to be reigning in Michael a little bit.
Slak already pointed out my favorite line. "MISTER Andy Bernard. Has a nice ring to it." That was awesome.
I really liked how they acknowledged and used the fact that the guy who plays Kevin talks like a retard all the time.
Has Creed been getting more screen time this season? It seems like it, and that's a very good thing.

You know what a character-driven story is, correct? Or in this case, a character-driven comedy? The show hasn't been "realistic" this season because it's turned every character into total exaggerations of themselves. You're telling me, despite how dumb Michael can be, that he would ever drive his car into a lake because the GPS told him to? That anyone would do that? Everyone on here thought it was dumb that Dwight actually believed Ryan's friend was a hobbit. Honestly, if you want cartoon characters, go watch some Family Guy. The writers have done a horrible job this season of making the characters believable; not realistic, but believable. I don't care if they're doing things normal people probably wouldn't do, but it's bad writing when they're doing things that those characters wouldn't do. It's lazy writing to make a character do something just for the sake of it being funny, especially on a show that's done the exact opposite for three seasons.

Everyone on here thought it was dumb that Dwight actually believed Ryan's friend was a hobbit. Honestly, if you want cartoon characters, go watch some Family Guy. The writers have done a horrible job this season of making the characters believable; not realistic, but believable. I don't care if they're doing things normal people probably wouldn't do, but it's bad writing when they're doing things that those characters wouldn't do. It's lazy writing to make a character do something just for the sake of it being funny, especially on a show that's done the exact opposite for three seasons.
Ya, what he said...
Dammit bocaj, don't agree with me. It just discredits everything I say.

You do know what a joke is, right? Or in this case, teasing? The characters on teh comedy have always been caricatures. Have a couple things been a little over the top? Probably. Is it ridiculous that a guy who believes in vampires and werewolves would believe in hobbits, too? Probably not. If you don't think that there are some ridiculous things that happen in offices or that pranks get played on people or that some people are obliviously and gloriously racist, then, honestly, you're probably still in college. That's probably why you can't appreciate things that are funny just for teh sake of bringing the funny.
And why should I go watch the Family Guy? You're the one that apparently doesn't like it. Go watch the evening news.

That's not it at all.
One of the most appealing aspects of the show to me, and I'd assume to a majority of its viewers, is the believable characters I can relate to. That's why we like most characters in any story. If we can't relate to them, they're not appealing to us. No, I haven't worked in an office like that, but it doesn't mean I can't relate to the people and situations in the show. My problem with this season is all of the characters have become two-dimensional or just complete exaggerations of themselves. It's like how Christopher Walken or Sam Jackson have just become caricatures of themselves in all of their movies. They've gone so far to the extreme with most of the characters on the show this season (because of the writer's strike or just bad writing) that I don't think they're relatable anymore. What they do is still funny, but it's only funny because the situations they're in or what they say are just naturally funny and you could replace the characters with any other characters. It's not like I see this season as a complete failure, as "The Deposition," "Chairmodel" and this season finale are three of my favorite episodes of the series, but in general they just took the show and the characters in a completely different direction from where it had been going for three seasons.

Nah, I think The Office is an intelligent show. But what I meant to mean by saying I enjoy intelligent shows, is that I like creativity, originality, substance, etc. For instance, I usually can't stand fake laughter in shows (unless it's made up for, like in Seinfeld), while it's proven that people generally eat it up.
And I agree that The Office seems to be changing a lot, and that's what I meant by my comments: some people are getting too ridiculous. (Though it is still a funny show.)

It's actually a lot better than I originally gave it credit for. They are real sticklers for continuity, and it is the #1 show for "attainable hot" actresses, especially since they've added Sarah Chalke as a recurring.

None of that was a bit funny, at all. I sure hope the dumbass intern, who threw that crap together, didn't spend more then 10 minutes and one bowl of weed on it.
Two weeks ago I swore I was done with this show. The episode was so unfunny it offended my sensibilities.
Since it's on season pass, I watched the season finale last night. GOLD. the bit with Kevin being slow was awesome. A particularly like the interaction between Jim and Michael about how to approach the new girl.
It's obvious by the tone and quality of writing that the writers change every episode.

Okay, if he actually sang it, I'd probably die laughing. (More of Steve, then of the actual lyrics.) But it was a complete waste of time to read.

Turn around
every now and then I get a little bit stinky
and the farts are coming out of my butt
I need to fart tonight
I need to fart forever
and if you'll only pull my finger
we'll be smelling farts together
turn around, fart sound
Every now and then I cut a fart
For some reason, "turn around, fart sound" was my favorite line.
I liked "cut a fart". I haven't heard that one in a long time.
More sensationalism. How in the hell do you "cut" a fart with a knife? Is anything realistic on this show?
My farts are so thick you need a chainsaw.

1 hour season premier tonight.
Spoiler Alert:
It's going to be awkward.
I thought this was a pretty good episode. Just when you think Michael is finally doing something right, he goes and fucks it all up.
I'm kind of confused with what they're doing with the season though. I think this episode was supposed to just be during the summer, which they normally have a little recap of. But if Ryan is the receptionist (which was awesome), 8 weeks went by in the episode, and Pam only has one month left, where does that put him when she gets back?
Either way, despite the fact that they tried to pack a whole bunch of plot and character development into an hour, it seems like a good start to what will hopefully be a redeeming year after the off-and-on fourth season.
I'm glad they got the Jim/Pam engagement over with so it doesn't turn into a soap opera.

Dear god...what have I become???
I just caught the episode and thought it was outstanding. Maybe because it had been gone for the summer and I don't watch much sitcom tv anymore. Maybe I need to watch it again, I dunno.
I thought Michael's goatee was a tribute to David Brent at first, until I saw that it was actually a tribute to his throbbing man-love for Ryan, whose return to the show was great, if truly unrealistic. His "list" was a good gag, particularly after the setup and subsequent encounter with Jim, after which you see Ryan scribbling into the list like the psycho he is.
I noticed the cinematagrophy and, in some cases, actual choreaography (although JOn woud just simply refer to it as blocking). Like when Angela first splits from Doofus Brains and the camera pans back and follows Dwight's "pager" (who has a pager still? Hilarious) and the scene continues with Dwight getting up to meet her for a hot lunch. It's not quite Henry Hill impressing Karen on their first date when Scorcese had them wind through through the restaurant and kitchen, ending up in front of Henny Youngman at a personaized table, but it was still pretty well-crafted.

I don't understand this question by Weebs at all and we must not let him murder this glorious, 3+ year old thread. That said, the last part--why do you expect Pam to come back to Dunder Mufflin? Her program in NYC is only 3 months, sure, but she quit her job, no?

What I meant was it seems like they were going to keep Ryan in the office as the receptionist while Pam was gone for 3 months. However, they covered 8 weeks of that time in just the first episode, because they normally don't actually have an episode for what happens in the summer. It's usually just a recap they do through commercials. So what I meant was if Pam is back in only 4 weeks (or right away, assuming that's when the next episode picks up), does that mean she's going to have a different job and Ryan will stay at reception, or will Ryan be gone right away when she gets back?

What I meant was it seems like they were going to keep Ryan in the office as the receptionist while Pam was gone for 3 months. However, they covered 8 weeks of that time in just the first episode, because they normally don't actually have an episode for what happens in the summer. It's usually just a recap they do through commercials. So what I meant was if Pam is back in only 4 weeks (or right away, assuming that's when the next episode picks up), does that mean she's going to have a different job and Ryan will stay at reception, or will Ryan be gone right away when she gets back?
Since the schooling is in some sort of graphic design, couldn't she end up with job duties that are related?
If this show continues along the ultra-realistic path it needs to be on, then of course she would. IN REAL LIFE SHE TOTALLY WOULD.>>>>111

To be realistic, they'll probably have lay offs. Some major characters will have to go even if they are funny. Do the writers expect us to believe they can keep all those employees in this crappy economy? And what will happen to their 401ks?

I haven't seen this much overanalysis since we discussed you not seeing the Dark Knight. At least that was funny.
How is that overanalysis? It's barely even analysis. I'm just wondering what they are going to do with Ryan/Pam if one of them as the other's job.
I know they're doing an Office spin off. I don't know anything about it other than that, but my thought was that it will involve Jim and Pam in New York. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat waiting to find out, though.

I think the plan is to have Jim & Pam springboard it, and head back to Scranton.

Honestly, how many times can they have Jim leave Scranton and come back? I mean, have you ever been to Scranton? It's not exactly a great place to live. I don't think that it would be all that realistic to have him leave for a second time and then come back again. He already doesn't seem like he wants to be there, and that office is pretty crazy anyway, so I don't think he'd come back. There's just too much awkwardness. I definitely think we might see him and Pam leave and settle down in New York. But would they be happy there? I don't know. But it probably seems like the best option at this point in the show. I could even see Jim leaving Dunder-Mifflin entirely. He did want to be a sportswriter, and he's getting to the age where he probably should make that career jump. It's possible that he could get a job in Philadelphia, too. Pam could find a graphic design job there. I'd imagine that could work out, since Jim might want to follow his dreams after Pam chased hers.

He could stay in NY as a sports writer. Have him break up with Pam and then to make ends meet have roommate. They could make Jim be really messy and his roommate really neat and fussy.

How about, Jim doesn't get a sports writing gig (because he lacks experience) and goes to work in a sporting goods store instead. And then his foreign cousin with a bad understanding of English and his wacky homeland customs comes to live with him?

He already doesn't seem like he wants to be there, and that office is pretty crazy anyway, so I don't think he'd come back. There's just too much awkwardness. I definitely think we might see him and Pam leave and settle down in New York. But would they be happy there? I don't know. But it probably seems like the best option at this point in the show. I could even see Jim leaving Dunder-Mifflin entirely. He did want to be a sportswriter, and he's getting to the age where he probably should make that career jump. It's possible that he could get a job in Philadelphia, too. Pam could find a graphic design job there. I'd imagine that could work out, since Jim might want to follow his dreams after Pam chased hers.
He could stay in NY as a sports writer. Have him break up with Pam and then to make ends meet have roommate. They could make Jim be really messy and his roommate really neat and fussy.
I liked that one better when it was called Growing Pains. Try again, Kowalski.
How about, Jim doesn't get a sports writing gig (because he lacks experience) and goes to work in a sporting goods store instead. And then his foreign cousin with a bad understanding of English and his wacky homeland customs comes to live with him?
How about Jim and some other dude that looks like George Michael adopt a blond. They aren't gay though. They live together and they're both her dad.
They could call it - Jim and Some Guy With Some Kid And Stuff.
How about Jenna Fischer goes topless for an episode or two?
You gotta save that stuff for sweeps.
Maybe she could play the nosy neighbor while Jim builds a small robitic child?
How about Jim moves to Florida and becomes and astronaut he finds out that Pam is really a genie and she gets him into all sorts of wacky situations?

My only qualms with this season are that there's not nearly enough Andy (he hasn't been used enough since the start of season 4), and Pam needs to get the hell back to Scranton. This episode was quite awesome, although Dwight trying to destroy the stroller seemed a bit tacked on and over-extended. The open was so bizarre, as was Jan singing for like 20 minutes straight, and Michael finally sending a big "fuck you" and asking out Holly was the balls.
And I've still been trying to figure out what seems so different between seasons 1-3 and 4-5, and I think it's that Michael is not nearly as big of an asshole as he used to be. He was never to the point of Ricky Gervais' David, but he also wasn't so cartoonishly dimwitted. I liked it better when he was still an asshole, but he had his redeeming moments and the moments where you had to feel sorry for him. Now it's like we're forced to always feel bad for him and laugh at how "goofy" he is, rather than how clueless he normally is about his own actions. It's not so bad, since Steve Carrell is a genius and is fun to watch no matter what, but it would be nice to see the old Michael again.

Dwight was a major prick in this episode. Normally, he's kind of a prick, but he's still goofy. This one, he was just being a huge douche. I hope they end the Dwight-Angela antics this week and we can get back to Dwight finding some more pot in the parking lot. I'd like them to actually give him a story where he uses his position as "Deputy Security Officer" of the business park, or whatever he got in that pot episode.
Also, Daryle got fat.

I really enjoyed the Dwight bidding on Phyllis scene. The Office gives you, every once and awhile, a moment where one of the more self absorbed characters shows that they really do care about one of their friends. Michael and Jim had one last season. It helps you believe that one of these knobs could be tolerated or liked.

My favorite scene like that was in Season 1 (or maybe 2?) when Michael gave Jim love advice from the "brig" of the booze cruise.
DPD.
Just thought of my second favorite scene like that. When Pam was crying, and Dwight walked up to her, ("You're PMSing pretty bad, huh?") took off his suit jacket, and tied it around his waist. "It's hot in here." Then, he sat down and tried to comfort her. That was a great scene.

Michael and Jim actually have a lot of moments like that. Most of the time they're about Jim and Pam, or Michael and Jan. I like during season 2 at Jim's party, when Michael is singing karaoke by himself and Jim gets up to sing along with him. Jim's really the only character that has any sympathy for Michael.

Most of the parts with Michael/Holly/Darryl were pretty good...everything else was very meh. Having Dwight be Andy's own personal "Jim" was kind of funny for the first few minutes, but that dragged a bit. And I'm about ready for this Jim/Pam distance thing to end.

What was the MOST awesome part, though? I say Creed dressed as the Joker. I honestly didn't know who it was. He looked fantastic.

Yes, agreed. That was probably the best part, along with Kevin getting pissed that Creed had his costume.
Also enjoyed Michael and Darrell singing the blues, Andy's Cats costume and the entire Dwight/Andy storyline ("applicant has a head shaped like a trapezoid").

I also suspect that The Office was completely accurate (suck it, Weebs!) in that about 30% of males at the bars tonight will be dressed as the Joker. And all will think they are clever.

I liked how Daryl started singing along to "Life is a Highway" and kinda gettin' into it. I thought the Jim/Pam storyline was weak except for the part when Jim was leaving---"I'll walk you out", gets his stuff, and leaves for New York. The Dwight/Andy stuff was big-time funny.

Yes. Singing, and singing well. I was sort of surprised that they didn't make a big deal out of Halloween. Dwight trying to talk to Andy about Cornell football was outstanding.
Michael and Darrell are usually pretty funny together.

You are just saying that because I pointed out that you look like Josh Caray.
Quick question -- this show worth getting back into? I had to stop watching because of the whathaveyas, but it was starting to wear thin on me anyways. I've been looking for a good show to eat up some free time here lately, but thought, "why not dive back in"?
I know most o'ya will say "yes", but I just want to hear if it got a lil' too melodramatic and a lil' less comedic. I was head over heels about Jim'n'Pam at first. Now I'm heel up ass.

I'm about as tired of the Andy/Angela/Dwight stuff as I am Jim and Pam. That story's been going on since last season, but unlike the original Jim/Pam story, I don't think anybody really cares what happens with those three. I do get the feeling, however, that all this Pam stuff is just setting up whatever that spinoff would be. I couldn't see them taking Jim or Pam off the show, but I guess if they were going to give another series to any of the characters, it would be those two (or Dwight). Also, I'm pretty sure at the beginning of this season, they said that Pam was going to be in school for 3 months. The first episode took out about 7 weeks. It has to be done with by like next week, doesn't it?
As long as they have more Jim/Dwight stuff though, it's all gravy. Glorious, glorious gravy.

I agree with all of the above. I think that was the most brilliant scene in this show's history.
My second favorite is probably when Jim turns Dwight's investigation about the joint around on him. "No, when you walked in here, you said I'D be conducting the investigation. Just how much marijuana have you smoked?"

I agree with all of the above. I think that was the most brilliant scene in this show's history.
My second favorite is probably when Jim turns Dwight's investigation about the joint around on him. "No, when you walked in here, you said I'D be conducting the investigation. Just how much marijuana have you smoked?"
What? I'm gonna have to watch this episode again. I totally missed that. Or was that when they were in Dwight's car. It was hard to hear for the music.
Sorry. It was from an old episode. It was my second-favorite scene in the show's history.

Dwight: Welcome to the Hotel Hell. Check in time now. Check out time is never.
Jim: Does my room have cable?
Dwight: No. And the sheets are made of fire.
Jim: Can I change rooms?
Dwight: No, we're all booked up. Hell convention in town.
Jim: Can I have a late check-out?
Dwight: I'll have to talk to the manager.
Jim: You're not the manager. Even in your own fantasy?
Dwight: I'm the owner. Co-owner. With Satan!
Jim: Okay, just so I understand it ... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Dwight: But I haven't told you my salary.
Jim: Go.
Dwight: $80,000 a year.

It's been a great season, but holy crap, enough with the Jim and Pam drama. Marry them and go back to showing funny things in the office.
I could care less about Jim and Pam. It's like...the C story behind Jim and Dwight's shennanigans and the Andy/Angela/Dwight trifecta.
I'm about as tired of the Andy/Angela/Dwight stuff as I am Jim and Pam. That story's been going on since last season, but unlike the original Jim/Pam story, I don't think anybody really cares what happens with those three. I do get the feeling, however, that all this Pam stuff is just setting up whatever that spinoff would be. I couldn't see them taking Jim or Pam off the show, but I guess if they were going to give another series to any of the characters, it would be those two (or Dwight). Also, I'm pretty sure at the beginning of this season, they said that Pam was going to be in school for 3 months. The first episode took out about 7 weeks. It has to be done with by like next week, doesn't it?
As long as they have more Jim/Dwight stuff though, it's all gravy. Glorious, glorious gravy.
Wow. Way too much analysis. It's just a TV show. A very hilarious one. You should stop analyzing so much and just watch and laugh!
You're never going to get anywhere with that sales pitch. The sun comes up, you pay taxes, and Weebs tries to ruin The Office for everyone.
This is life.

Jim: I'm just saying that you can't be sure that it wasn't you.
Dwight: That's ridiculous, of course it wasn't me.
Jim: Marijuana is a memory loss drug, so maybe you just don't remember.
Dwight: I would remember.
Jim: Well how could you, if it just erased your memory?
Dwight: That's not how it works.
Jim: Now how do you know how it works?
Dwight: Knock it off, okay, I'm interviewing you!
Jim: No, you said that I'd be conducting the interview when I walked in here. Now exactly how much pot did you smoke?

How is it wrong? I thought Dwight sees bears as the enemy. Therefore, it would be an insult for a bear to defeat Battlestar Gallactica...despite the fact that it's nearly impossible. In fact, right after Jim says it, Dwight sounds like he's starting to defend that claim before realizing something is going on, saying something like, "Well that's just...wait, what's going on here?"

Dwight: No. And the sheets are made of fire.
Jim: Can I change rooms?
Dwight: No, we're all booked up. Hell convention in town.
Jim: Can I have a late check-out?
Dwight: I'll have to talk to the manager.
Jim: You're not the manager. Even in your own fantasy?
Dwight: I'm the owner. Co-owner. With Satan!
Jim: Okay, just so I understand it ... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Dwight: But I haven't told you my salary.
Jim: Go.
Dwight: $80,000 a year.
That was, indeed, a fantastic exchange. Here is the one I was thinking of (from this site (http://drtytus.com/officequotes/2.20.html) with a bunch of good 'uns):
Jim: I'm just saying that you can't be sure that it wasn't you.
Dwight: That's ridiculous, of course it wasn't me.
Jim: Marijuana is a memory loss drug, so maybe you just don't remember.
Dwight: I would remember.
Jim: Well how could you, if it just erased your memory?
Dwight: That's not how it works.
Jim: Now how do you know how it works?
Dwight: Knock it off, okay, I'm interviewing you!
Jim: No, you said that I'd be conducting the interview when I walked in here. Now exactly how much pot did you smoke?
Also really good. I think I laughed more at the Hell Convention one with sheets of fire and changing rooms.
I like the one where Jim comes in dressed as Dwight and says "Bears, beets, Battlestar Gallactica."
You know, I always see that quote as "Bears. Beets. Battlestar Gallactica" but I always thought it was "Bears beats Battlestar Gallactica." I think the latter makes more sense.
You're wrong again.
Weebs, man...you're even more wrong tham I am on most things.
How is it wrong? I thought Dwight sees bears as the enemy. Therefore, it would be an insult for a bear to defeat Battlestar Gallactica...despite the fact that it's nearly impossible. In fact, right after Jim says it, Dwight sounds like he's starting to defend that claim before realizing something is going on, saying something like, "Well that's just...wait, what's going on here?"
He works on a gosh darn beet farm
The quote from the episode, Product Recall, is (Link: http://www.officequotes.net/no3-20.php (http://www.officequotes.net/no3-20.php)):
Jim: [Dressed as Dwight] It's kind of blurry. [puts on his glasses] That's better. [exhales] Question. What kind of bear is best?
Dwight: That's a ridiculous question.
Jim: False. Black bear.
Dwight: Well that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought---
Jim: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
Dwight: Bears do not--- What is going on--- What are you doing?!
Dwight was preparing to say that bears don't eat beets, not to refute that bears will beat Battlestar Galactica. This is way too much analysis.

Andy was the balls, and so was Michael, for once actually being a dick to Wallace because apparently it's his fault that he was used by the chick from Reno 911.
Also, thank Christ the Pam in New York story is finally over. I hope Ryan will start being a dick again though. He was a little bitch for these first few episodes.
And he was delightful!

I like how Dwight finally acknowledged that Pam was a really shitty artist. When you see her various pieces throughout the series (that's what she said), pretty much all of them suck. Oscar and his gay pal Gil were the only ones who pointed it out before. It's nice to know the writers didn't actually want to make her any good.

I found it odd that they made a big deal over Pam thinking the microwave was disgusting, and then they just suddenly dropped it. I'm guessing it will lead to people in the office not like Pam anymore, and she'll eventually quit. Dwight following and working with Michael again was awesome though.

I watched the episode during halftime. Wow - there are too many lines to even remember. Just an awesome episode.
"I have a deposit! An alcoholic!"

As it turns out, you can't just check someone into rehab against their will. They have to do it voluntarily. They have to hit rock bottom. So I think I know what I need to do, at this point. I need to find ways to push Meredith to the bottom.
Umm, I think I can do it.

Get out of my brain, Slaky. I was thinking the very same thing myself. I thought maybe it was just because I missed the show since it last aired a new episode.
You just knew that Michael was going to break the news to to Andy at the last possible minute, and yet it was still hilarious when he did.
And Dwight essentially admitting that he drilled Angela on Oscar's desk was several varieties of awesome.

Agreed. The first half of the episode was awesome. But (not to get Weebsy here) the second half sort of fell apart for me. The car scene was a little bit
UNREALISTIC much.

I thought it was pretty funny how everyone was expecting violent death and instead he barely pinned him in the bush and Dwight's leg fell asleep. And then they just yelled childish insults at each other. I loved this episode.
I happy for Andy that he got to nail Angela twice. She's kinda hot for an annoying bitch.

I'm trying to figure out if he really did or if he just made that up. In earlier episodes it has been suggested that he hasn't. Once, he talked about working out so he'll look good the first time she sees him naked on their wedding night and another time, when he got in trouble, he was punished by being sent back to first base or something. Andy's reaction after he made this claim would almost seem to support this as well, as he rested his head oin the steering wheel in resignation.

I bet that she relented and shared her most precious gift after Dwight pulled off the secret wedding.

I thought he was telling the truth, but you might be right. It doesn't seem likely that he would score if he was sent back to first, especially if Dwight was hitting homers all over Oscar's desk the whole time.
In my mind, the thought of Dwight and Angela has morphed into Angela having Lesbian Labia Tickle Time with Rachel Maddow. Rachel looks like Dwight anyway.

Luckily on The Office, he doesn't play a character named Rainn Wilson. Then that show wouldn't be that funny I suppose.

But it would be more REALISTIC. I just thought it was interesting that the guy is clearly a good enough actor to play a very funny role without having any concept of what funny is. They say Steve Martin is like that.

"Meredith, you've had sex with so many men you're starting to look like one. Boom! You're roasted!"
Other than that, I thought the episode was pretty terrible. Can't the writers ever have anything go wrong with Jim and Pam, or does it always have to look like Jim's about to be in the doghouse and then suddenly Pam loves whatever he did? It's called tension, fucknuckles! You were awesome at it for three years.

How could anyone not have burst out laughing at least 4 times in this episode? Does Weebs not pay attention to the secondary characters like Creed and Oscar, or is he like the knuckle-dragging Bears fans around this place who spend way too much time focusing on the quarterback position? I had almost forgotten about the Pam and Jim storyline until Weebs complained about it, although I did find the idea of Jim's future father-in-law wearing his robe hysterical.

How could anyone not have burst out laughing at least 4 times in this episode? Does Weebs not pay attention to the secondary characters like Creed and Oscar, or is he like the knuckle-dragging Bears fans around this place who spend way too much time focusing on the quarterback position? I had almost forgotten about the Pam and Jim storyline until Weebs complained about it, although I did find the idea of Jim's future father-in-law wearing his robe hysterical.
Creed made me laugh at least three times in the episode.
Didn't they focus on his crotch at one point and it looked like he was playing 'pocket pool' or something? Maybe I was just fantasizing at that point...

With Creed, anything is possible.
When he called out the straight-laced CPR girl as having been a patron at some freaky club, and her stunned reaction that followed...that was classic Creed, if you will.

Speaking of wallets, I love how Michael kept trying to cram his into Stanley's mouth.

I laughed only about 3 times. This episode was kind of entertaining. I'll admit, I have not fully gotten into this series as of yet. I have a couple of seasons on que on the SecksBox to watch.. I just haven't yet. I watched a bit of the first episode and was kind of bored.

When does a comedy have to be realistic? I think part of the appeal of comedies is that they are a little break from reality and just have fun. This one looks like it's a huge mock of office-life.

I just thought it was interesting that the guy is clearly a good enough actor to play a very funny role without having any concept of what funny is. They say Steve Martin is like that.
Steve Martin, recent terrible movie sell outs aside, is brilliant. Comparing Rainn Wilson to him would be like comparing Weebs' analytical skills

Eh. Some of his old album stuff is funny, but I don't think he's the RIGHT comic. I think he's a pretty good actor, though.

I'm not sure I ever said the problem with The Office is that it isn't realistic (and if I did, my mistake), but rather that the characters aren't believable anymore, even though Dwight specifically was pretty over-the-top to begin with. I'm all for character development, but once season 4 hit, they turned really interesting, relatable characters into completely ridiculous exaggerations. Andy, while still hilarious, is nowhere near the same character he was in season 3, even after anger management. I still think it has some very funny moments every week, but it's not the same show it was in seasons 1-3.
And I think that will be my last contribution to this thread. You're welcome.

I know very little of show, nor do I know of this Weebs-Office thing. I don't feel like going back and reading into it. I do know that I never take shows too seriously. I mean, every show has it's own little mannerisms that make it interesting/funny. But I guess I can understand you not liking it anymore.. I just don't care too much about it all. I'll come back to this thread when I've watched a little more of this show.

I really think this is the genius of the show. It's these, seemingly, throwaway lines that are hilarious. It takes a second to register what you just hear, and then you can't stop laughing.
I know I've talked about it before, but to me there's one glaring difference between the American version and the Brit version. In the Brit version, David never sees the folly of his ways. He's awkward, and continues to be so even after light is shed on what he has caused. Michael, on the other hand, always seems to resolve whatever problem he has caused. And, if the problem is not resolved, at least Michael seems to try to smooth it over. David never "gets it".
There's something tragic about Michael. There's something sinister about David.
Just a thought.

What I love about Michael is how he's a total moron and yet somehow he's the best branch manager in the company and they have to kiss his ass. The economy sucks (not sure if you've been hearing about that. you been hearin about that?) and he's the only one making money for Dunder-Mifflin. He seems to always close his business deals.

Michael succeeds at sales because he is gritty and has heart. People like Ryan fail because they use their laptop science they learned at business school.

That's my favorite part of the show. Why doesn't Dunder-Mifflin just fire his ridiculous ass? Because he makes money. In both the Applebee's episode with Tim Meadows, and the paper convention episode, he closed huge deals despite playing the fool the entire time. They're clearly trying to cater to Weebs by making it BELIEVABLE that he would keep his job.

Also, how awesome is it that Michael thinks You Tube is a production company?
"We'll get You Tube to come and film it."
I really think this is the genius of the show. It's these, seemingly, throwaway lines that are hilarious. It takes a second to register what you just hear, and then you can't stop laughing.
I know I've talked about it before, but to me there's one glaring difference between the American version and the Brit version. In the Brit version, David never sees the folly of his ways. He's awkward, and continues to be so even after light is shed on what he has caused. Michael, on the other hand, always seems to resolve whatever problem he has caused. And, if the problem is not resolved, at least Michael seems to try to smooth it over. David never "gets it".
There's something tragic about Michael. There's something sinister about David.
Just a thought.
When Dwight is called to Corporate because of his safety excesses, Michael sits next to him at the table. Then he gets up and wanders to the window and says that what Dwight did is no big deal. He is corrected by one of the corporate suits who says that it is a big deal, whereupon Michael sits down on management's side of the table and starts working on Dwight from that side. Nasty.

What I love about Michael is how he's a total moron and yet somehow he's the best branch manager in the company and they have to kiss his ass. The economy sucks (not sure if you've been hearing about that. you been hearin about that?) and he's the only one making money for Dunder-Mifflin. He seems to always close his business deals.
I love this show.
That's my favorite part of the show. Why doesn't Dunder-Mifflin just fire his ridiculous ass? Because he makes money. In both the Applebee's episode with Tim Meadows, and the paper convention episode, he closed huge deals despite playing the fool the entire time. They're clearly trying to cater to Weebs by making it BELIEVABLE that he would keep his job.
Time to get real. How likely is it that a guy who's completely socially inept at all facets of his life be so smooth when it comes to selling paper products? Riddle me that.

It's highly unlikely, BH, until you get down to the heart of the matter. The heart. Michael Scarn has heart. Michael Scott is a regular old chump. He turns on the afterburners, and Agen Scarn comes out and POW!, he makes the sale. People can relate to that. People helping people, people selling things to other people. So it's not so much a riddle, as it is a riddlekulous question. HE JUST GETS SHIT DONE!
Oh yeah, and b/c you don't have to be good in public situations to be good at your job. Look at morph.

I think they really wanted to move the plot forward with the Michael and Holly thing. But then he never actually saw Holly, so it seemed like a lot of fanfare for nothing. The plot-driven episodes are still fine, but I think the show is funnier when they aren't pushing a storyline.
That said, Dwight adding touch football, mating and charades to the party ideas was great.

It works better in half hour chunks. I didn't like last season when they stretched some episodes to an hour, and this two-parter was the same thing. Other than Jim and Dwight is was a pretty average show last night.

I was juxtaposing what I thought Jim's idea of a fun party was with Dwight's, and that added to the humor. At least in my brain.

He was just channeling Creed Bratton:
QuoteCreed, talking to Meredith: Andrea is the office bitch. You'll get used to her. [puts hand out] Hi. Creed.

I was ready for this episode to be better. I did like Crossword Puzzle Guy getting picked to be productivity supervisor or whatever he said. "Hey, guy sitting there doing a crossword puzzle and not listening, make sure everyone's doing what they're supposed to be doing and not goofing off."

Wasn't he one of the drug dealers during the first two years of "The Wire"? Last night, in the premiere of "The #1 Ladies' Detective Agency" he played a kidnapper. That show deserves its own thread.

I don't get the Pam story line, either, but I can't wait to watch the Angela/Kelly fight to the death over the giant black man. At least that'll be good.
Really? I loathe both of those characters. I hope they get zero extra screen time out of this.
I agree. Creed Bratton is the star of the show. They have him involved a lot less than they need to.
Creed, Andy, and Stanley should move into an apartment together, and cameras should follow them around.
No Kevin? FAIL.
I can't stand the way Kevin talks. So, no.
To me, it's not what Kevin says. If you pay attention, sometimes when somebody says something that could be taken in a dirty or nasty way, Kevin is always smiling or laughing or saying "yes" really softly. THAT'S why I like Kevin. Oh, and the episode when he said he had Jim's back if Roy fought him--golden.
I like Kevin because he's in Scrantonicity.
I do love Scrantonicity.
Which means BH can't like them anymore.

I'm going to miss Charles. I rather loved he and Jim's interactions and how foolish Jim always seemed in front of Charles.
I loved how wrong Ryan's pricing model was and how him and michael both asked the accountant to tell them "what his meaning of a variable" model was.. awesome.
Michael: "I want to you crunch those numbers again."
Dude who crunches numbers: "It's a computer model, there's really no crunching..."
Michael: "Just...just crunch the numbers."
Dude who crunches numbers (leans over to his computer, pokes a button on the keyboard): "Crunch."
Pam: "Did that help?"
Nice.

It's too bad the Michael Scott Paper Company had to come to an end. I'm glad they didn't drag it out too long, but that was a hilarious storyline. Will Ryan be the new receptionist?
The whole Thailand conversation was sublime. It went from Ryan fessing up that he didn't go to Thailand and went to Fort Lauderdale instead, but claimed he had really good pad thai down there, to Michael claiming that he loves pad thai, to Ryan calling him out on it.

Pretty sure that's what happened. I thought it was an excellent way to end that arc. Well done, Office writers. Well done.
I'm on board with these two goobers with the stuff they are writing.
Creed: I'd like to set you up with my daughter.
Jim: Oh. I'm engaged to Pam.
Creed: I thought you were gay.
Jim: Why would you want to set me up with your daughter if you thought I was gay?
Creed: I don't know.
Even when this show has a weak or just weird plot--not that we should expect them to go yard every week anyway--it still delivers some laughs. In addition to the Creed and Jim stuff, Darryl's one scene made up for anything bad in this episode. I howled when he asked Michael, "What'd I tell you about making forts back here?"
One word: Kevin and his chili pot.

The horror of Meredith rearranging her outfit.
Kelly: Dammit Meredith where are your panties?
Meredith: It's casual day.
Is there a cookie?
and
I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure I'm in a dance off.
Outstanding episode. The dance off was hilarious, any episode that brings some C&C Music Factory into the mix is gravy in my book.
Creed's rearview mirror and Andy's baby voice were the other highlights.
It may have felt slim to some, but to me it reminded of some very good Taxi/Cheers episodes that were one big "we love this cast and these writers and each other and everybody hug!"-laydowns. I dug it.

I concur. I thought they were going to do something like shut the Disco down when Michael went down there. I was ready for a big awkward scene. I'm glad they didn't. I thought it was a feel-good episode.
The Andy-Kelly dance-off was spectacular. I figured Kelly was going to dance like a stripper, but Flashdance was even better. So was Dwight's "EASY, girl," to Phyllis. And feeding her a carrot.
If I haven't said it before, can I say how much I love the fact that Andy stayed on as a character?
Now I won't be able to see who's driving behind me.

And I'm liking the new secretary, too. She does "blank expression" like nobody's business
The skit was fantastic, especially the torture and the closing of another branch.

The Andy-Kelly dance-off was spectacular. I figured Kelly was going to dance like a stripper, but Flashdance was even better. So was Dwight's "EASY, girl," to Phyllis. And feeding her a carrot.
If I haven't said it before, can I say how much I love the fact that Andy stayed on as a character?
This.
And I'm liking the new secretary, too. She does "blank expression" like nobody's business
I'm still catching up here, but as I noticed nobody quoted Angela's line, I will do the honors.
"I don't mean to be
that person but I just don't like the general spirit of music."
Not to get all Weebs, but that was the most REALISTIC episode I've ever seen. Both Dwight and Michael acted like REAL PEOPLE to great effect.
So, what do you think the big news was? That Pam's ankle is okay?

To be fair to Fork (and I'm not sure why I'm doing this), I'm pretty sure they said "hardcore parkour" at least once.

Why? Because Jim and Pam got together? Let me guess, you're one of those fans of the British version and loved the first couple seasons because the plot was nearly identical and its just "so pivotal" to the dynamic that Jim and Pam keep up their "will they or won't they" crap? There's a reason The Office has changed so much the last couple years, and that's because it had to. The British version lasted a whopping two seasons. The show actually has to evolve and have character development or else it would get repetitive and boring. I'm sure its pisses you off that the show has gotten out of the nice little corner you'd hemmed it into, but believe it or not the plot had to evolve past fleeting glances between Jim and Pam and Jim putting Dwight's shit in jello. Get over it.

These.
Far too many shows thrive on that "will they or won't they" romantic tension alone and then suck after the characters hook finally up.
The Office has survived it because it's better than that, and is fully capable of actual character development.
But Weebs feels "The Injury" was better than "Gossip," so the show "fucking sucks now."
Getting off the wildly popular tradition of bashing Weebs' skull in, has anybody noticed Michael's desperation to be reaching epic proportions? Maybe I didn't realize how bad it was in the previous seasons, but this season (and part of last season) it really started to get so uncomfortable watching him that I couldn't watch.
Adding: you know what Season 6 episode is going to fucking suck?
This Season 6 episode is going to fucking suck. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_(The_Office))
QuoteThe Office travels to Niagara Falls to celebrate Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam's (Jenna Fischer) wedding under strict orders not to mention Pam's pregnancy. Michael (Steve Carell), Dwight (Rainn Wilson), and Andy (Ed Helms) all want to hook up with guests at the wedding and Michael and Dwight meet twins.

I don't even get why the past episode would be the one to make Weebs hate it. I also don't get why I've wasted thirty seconds of my time thinking about Weebs' opinion of The Office.
It wasn't this past episode. It was this season so far, and a majority of the last two or three seasons. They're playing season 2 episodes on FOX now and the show was much, much better back then. It all went downhill at the start of season 4.
Why? Because Jim and Pam got together? Let me guess, you're one of those fans of the British version and loved the first couple seasons because the plot was nearly identical and its just "so pivotal" to the dynamic that Jim and Pam keep up their "will they or won't they" crap? There's a reason The Office has changed so much the last couple years, and that's because it had to. The British version lasted a whopping two seasons. The show actually has to evolve and have character development or else it would get repetitive and boring. I'm sure its pisses you off that the show has gotten out of the nice little corner you'd hemmed it into, but believe it or not the plot had to evolve past fleeting glances between Jim and Pam and Jim putting Dwight's shit in jello. Get over it.
I actually never watched the British version until a couple months ago. And obviously the Jim and Pam thing had to end. Keeping that crap going is what ruins most TV shows. I just think that since that point, the show has gone downhill. Not because of that relationship, but because the entire tone of the show changed. I'm all for character development, but I just don't like the way they've developed most of the characters. Sue me. I think it's stupid that Michael went from being a little naive and kind of a dick who was bad at his manager job, but still seemed to be a fairly competent guy at times (from what I've seen of the British version, that's pretty similar to Ricky Gervais' character), to a lovable idiot. I think it's stupid that Ryan, Pam and Jan all changed personalities almost to the point where the only similarities between their characters in seasons 1-3 and season 4 was that they had the same names.
I'm not against the reasoning for why the show changed so much after season 3. A show has to change to keep from being repetitive. But I just think they took it in a bad direction. I apologize that the rest of you think it's still awesome and I do not. Please, continue with the Weebs-hate.

Ryan changed a ton, yes, but what is so different about Jim and Pam?

I sure hope you take a shot at explaining how Jim's personality has changed since the start of the series. One might suggest that his
motivation has changed, since he's actually maturing and thinking about his career, which would be realistic. But his personality is exactly the same. You know how I can tell? Because John Krasinski can play exactly one character, and that character is Jim Halpert.
I see Eli just FACED me, but fuck it. I'm posting, anyhow.
Incidentally, I don't think Ryan's personality has changed much, either. He's always been an arrogant party person who thought he was too good for his temp job, and certainly thought he was better than everyone else in the office (most notably Jim, Michael, and Kelly). Once he got exposed to "the scene," he got out of control. I think he's been pretty consistent, honestly.
I enjoy watching the Office. But am starting to think I don't pay enough attention to every f'ng detail about it, to truly understand or appreciate it.

Apparently both of you can't read, so I'm not going to take a shot at explaining something I never said in the first place.
I agree that Ryan was always arrogant, but just like Pam, he also was pretty quiet. In the span of that one summer between seasons 3 and 4, they both became incredibly talkative and outgoing. That's what I think changed the most between those two seasons. Some of the best moments in seasons 1-3 were when there was little to no dialog, focusing more on the awkward pauses in a conversation. Starting with season 4, it's like the writers decided there always needs to be some kind of dialog or outrageous sight gag. Those first three seasons had a lot more laughs with a lot less dialog.
Okay, I misread "Jan" as "Jim." I already made my argument for Ryan. As for Jan, she is definitely the best example for your completely wrong argument. However, one might argue that the stage was set for her being a headcase. Keep in mind, she went through a divorce and was seeing a shrink even when we first met her. And clearly you wouldn't see "batshit crazy" Jan in the workplace. We didn't get to see that until she was in a personal relationship with Michael, which makes perfect sense.
You suck at critiquing entertainment. Stop it.

How can everybody else in the world think that the show has gotten better, yet you hate it?
Most people in the real world change over the course of 4 years. Look at RV. He used to be a beer bonging, chick drilling, UHaul driving, chadmachine. Now, he's old and fat and married and domesticated. Look at yourself. 4 years ago you were a little nerdling playing video games all day with your chums and thinking life couldn't get any better. Ok, so maybe that's not the best example. But people change. They wrote the characters to change b/c they, you know, have a job and shit happens at a job that causes you to change how you behave.

Those. I thought it was awesome. Completely in character with Jim's douchetrain brothers to plan something like that.
Last night's episode reminded me of the one last season with the dance party at the Michael Scott Paper Company office...sure it may have been a tad UNREALISTIC to watch the entire cast dance up and down the aisle, but I'll be damned if it wasn't funny as hell.
And the small touches are the best: Michael tying non-empty cans to the back of his car, Stanley yet again giving a toaster as a wedding gift.
DPD. How did this show exist without Andy Bernard? The scene with him laying next to Pam's bed, bragging about sleeping with the bride the night before the wedding, and then admitting he cried all night, was pure greatness.
So was Dwight's three wolf moon t-shirt.

I was of two minds about that...
On the one hand, it was an
authentic Three Wolf Moon Shirt.
The original.
On the other hand, it felt a bit derivative of
The Hangover.

The first kick, the one that didn't hit the bridesmaid in the face, was very Ricky Gervais-esque. That was amazing. As was everything about this episode.

DPD. How did this show exist without Andy Bernard? The scene with him laying next to Pam's bed, bragging about sleeping with the bride the night before the wedding, and then admitting he cried all night, was pure greatness.
So was Dwight's three wolf moon t-shirt.
Andy is amazing. Too bad he paid all that money for the honeymoon suite and didn't even get to use it.
An Andy-Erin arc is very promising. I have no idea what it is about Erin, but she's nice.

She's perfectly blank, which is hilarious.

You would LOVE prison, Oscar.
You have a broken sparktube. You're car's totalled. You should get a refund on that.
Oscar's awesome.
"The coalition for reason is extremely weak."
Kevin's act had been growning a little thin for me, but was almost entirely made up for with that ONE silent pan-in to his face after he realized that he fried Jim's credit.
And he may brag that Jim and Pam didn't know that it was him, but Oscar knew. I doubt it's a storyline that will get followed up on, but still funny.
This show is solid.

Kevin's act had been growning a little thin for me, but was almost entirely made up for with that ONE silent pan-in to his face after he realized that he fried Jim's credit.
I felt like the Kevin bits were the only unimpeachably awesome parts from this episode.
Oscar: Why would you cancel Jim's credit cards?
Kevin: I usually can think quick on my feet, but they were so fast on the phone.
Oscar: This constitutes identity fraud.
Kevin: Oh, God. I wouldn't last in jail, Oscar. I'm not like you.
Oscar: What's that supposed to mean?
Kevin: Oh, you don't know about jail? Oh, you would love jail.
Oscar: Why would I love jail?
Kevin: Because... You would LOVE it.
Sure, the character is relatively one-note. But he hits that note so perfectly.

I might be repeating myself but Kevin is criminally underrated. The episode where he opens the show narrating his expertise on chili making juxtaposed over him trying to carry the huge pot into the office, then spilling it everywhere, then frantically and hysterically trying to clean it up is one of the best scenes in the history of the show. I felt like laughing at him, helping him clean and giving him a shoulder to cry on all at the same time.

I would agree that was pretty damn funny. Trying to use papers from the reception desk to clean it up was a nice touch.

It wasn't an instant classic by any means, but COME ON!
I liked the episode as a whole, but I'll throw a bone to WeebsKerm that Fischer's a pretty limited actress and it showed last night. Not that this is a surprise to anyone.
Good writing/hot actress can cover a multitude of sins.
Ask Jennifer Aniston.

Really? I was just coming on to say I thought it was the worst one I've seen. Jenna Fischer is lucky she's hot, because she is an absolutely terrible actress.

HOW AM I GOING TO GET INTO ALL THE CLUBS NOW?
I stand by my statement. Jenna Fischer really grated on me during that episode. Every time she said "franks & beans" I wanted her to go on maternity leave. And her "No more meetings!" chant was beyond painful to watch. Plus, I was looking forward to a MUCH more complicated "Jim screwing with Dwight's radio" plot, and then he went and got all distracted by the "serious" problem. That episode just didn't do it for me.
Ryan's hat was pretty fucking sweet, though.

I think Fischer's inability to REALISTICALLY portray Pam's anger actually goes along with the character. Pam is such a nice person, it makes sense she wouldn't really know how to act when she's reached Mike Douche levels of anger.
And now we've spent way too much time talking about a character who's not even in the top 10 reasons to watch the show anyway.

What confused me is why it should be a big deal that Michael is shtuping Pam's mother? Is it the fact that her mother is not celibate or the fact that she is not celibate with Michael? Or is it that her hormones are out of whack? Since when do offspring dictate with whom their divorced parents sleep? Am I being naive? The comic possibilities offered by double date episodes in the future are limitless.

Jesus Christ, a perfectly good episode was ruined by Pam. It's not so much that her acting was bad (although I'm glad they cut out her "Franks & Beans" laugh after about .5 second), but the episode was just Pam yelling the same thing for 3/4 of it. She just became the most unlikeable character on the show, if she wasn't already.

I don't think she's a terrible actress. I remember several instances, during the Jim-and-Pam-will-they/won't-they plot when she was pretty good. Like, when she's dealing with the Roy stuff and trying to go to art school; or when Jim comes back from his interview with corporate and interrupts Pam's "interview" with the cameras at Scranton to ask her to dinner; the dinner episode at Michael and Jan's condo.
This is far too much analysis for someone with a nice set of sweater biscuits. As a stand-alone actress, she's probably not very intriguing. But, when she's playing off Jim or Dwight or Michael or any other character on the show, I find her geniuinely entertaining.

That was a fucking great episode.
Really? I was just coming on to say I thought it was the worst one I've seen. Jenna Fischer is lucky she's hot, because she is an absolutely terrible actress.
Shut the fuck up, Weebs!
Ironically, this.
It wasn't an instant classic by any means, but COME ON!
Eh. The only time I laughed was when Creed cried. I love this show, but that episode bored me.
I thought it was nearly as funny as the wedding episode. Kerm's Comedy-Street-Cred-as-Judged-by-Me VIP card.....REVOKED!
Jim's reaction after Michael started describing Pam's mom's car was entertaining.
HOW AM I GOING TO GET INTO ALL THE CLUBS NOW?
I stand by my statement. Jenna Fischer really grated on me during that episode. Every time she said "franks & beans" I wanted her to go on maternity leave. And her "No more meetings!" chant was beyond painful to watch. Plus, I was looking forward to a MUCH more complicated "Jim screwing with Dwight's radio" plot, and then he went and got all distracted by the "serious" problem. That episode just didn't do it for me.
Ryan's hat was pretty fucking sweet, though.
I thought the chant scene was great because of Stanley's reaction in the background. But I do agree with you on Jenna Fischer.
I think Fischer's inability to REALISTICALLY portray Pam's anger actually goes along with the character. Pam is such a nice person, it makes sense she wouldn't really know how to act when she's reached Mike Douche levels of anger.
And now we've spent way too much time talking about a character who's not even in the top 10 reasons to watch the show anyway.
I would agree with you if she'd shown a lick of acting chops to this point in the series. But I don't believe for one second she was thinking that deeply about her character. I think she's just all-around terrible at acting, including, but not limited to, the "franks & beans" thing.
I don't think she's a terrible actress. I remember several instances, during the Jim-and-Pam-will-they/won't-they plot when she was pretty good. Like, when she's dealing with the Roy stuff and trying to go to art school; or when Jim comes back from his interview with corporate and interrupts Pam's "interview" with the cameras at Scranton to ask her to dinner; the dinner episode at Michael and Jan's condo.
This is far too much analysis for someone with a nice set of sweater biscuits. As a stand-alone actress, she's probably not very intriguing. But, when she's playing off Jim or Dwight or Michael or any other character on the show, I find her geniuinely entertaining.

Well, they don't show enough shots that highlight her side and under boobage.

Is that where Pam's painting used to be? There was a deleted scene a few weeks back where Erin tried to clean it while Pam was gone and ended up ruining it.

Maybe, I just thought the joke was that Oscar can't do a Southern accent. I also enjoyed the hamster poking its head out of Tube City.
So if Dunder Mifflin goes bankrupt, does that mean everyone will now work at the Michael Scott Paper Company?

I knew he was going to flee, but it didn't make it any less hilarious. I loved the hell out of that episode. I really enjoy it when Michael backs his way into being a good boss.
Of COURSE Jim Halpert would use his Dwight pranks (http://officepranks.blogspot.com/2007/02/dwights-desk-in-bathroom.html) as management techniques. Nice touch.
Pretty unrealistic that they'd ever ask Michael to sit with teh stakeholders, even more so with a microphone.
And also that he'd keep his job after his shenanigans.

His Kevin and Toby were absolutely spot-on, and his Stanley was far better than Jim's. I was impressed.
When he told Erin that Kevin was applying for a warehouse position but he had a feeling about him and hired him for accounting I lost it.
"I've got a feeling about you, too."
Gold.

The next episode has stinker written all over it. This one was solid though - don't think the symbolism of Jim taking off that goddamn suit coat was lost on me.

The death of Manager Jim was a very good idea for the show.
That's really what matters here. Some normalcy would be nice.
They're doing too much. Nothing happens in an office. I work in one. I
know. The funny stuff is in the everyday exchanges. I
know. I crack myself up every single day in an office. In an OFFICE. I could tell you guys some stoooorrrries. Wow. But you probably wouldn't really get them because you wouldn't have a frame of reference. That's why my office isn't a sitcom. It's for real. It's in your face. It gets in your nostrils. I wear it home every day and I don't take it off until I take it off.
What the crap were we even talking aboot. You guys always get me slidetracked.
I liked the episode, but HATE Kathy Bates' character. She's more out of place on this show than TDubbs at a library.

Catch TDubbs once, Carl Monday, shame on you.
TDubbs don't get caught twice.
I know it's juvenile, but I laughed wholeheartedly every single time those dogs were noseblowing Nard Dog's crotch.
At the end, I feel like we got a big "Here, we know this is what you really want" from the writers as they sat Jim at his desk and made him put Dwight's tie in his own coffee. Pam's smile said it all. Also, Dwight's "Michael!" to end it made me happy.
Good episode.
Pam is a MILF
That kid is going to have a lot of hair.
Stick spicy foods up her butt!

I thought Kevin was dating that one chick. What happened there?
I usually don't like birthing episodes, but this one was pretty good. I wish someone would've given us new cabinets while we were at the hospital.

I also liked how the nurse was clearly not a fan of Jim's, which made me think of the episode where the dude said that maybe they weren't as charming as they thought they were.

When the nurse told Pam she could just feed the baby a bottle and Pam said no, she had heard that bottle-feeding is detrimental, I loved how quickly the nurse shot back "oh, okay. You know everything." and then shot a quick eyeroll at the camera. That was solid.

Normally it's the make-me-wince kind of awkward. This was more of the "HEY VIEWERS, ISN'T HE AWKWARD?????" awkward.

Erin's relationship with her foster brother is an odd one. They seemed awfully close. In an intentional assgrazing sort of way.

I enjoyed this past week's episode (I'm late to the Thursday night TV party). Looking forward to learning that Chinese-German hybrid that Dwight spoke of.
Also, I agree with everyone else that Pam is useless. Any time she attempts to be funny, it fails. That old-timey voice thing she was doing in the episode was Aaron Miles Terrible.
I was reading the AV Club's comments on this season (the last episode specifically) and someone mentioned that this season is approaching Season 2 greatness. I personally think that this person is retarded. Aside from a few episodes this season, I don't think it has been tremendously remarkable, like 2 was.

It's been a lot funnier than the last few because they haven't focused every episode on some retarded, season-long story arc, but it's definitely nowhere near season 2.

I still love the show, but more in a comfortable-old-friend sort of way. This season has been about as good as the last 2-3 seasons, in my mind. Maybe a bit stronger than last season, on the whole.
Regarding your original question, I really don't think Season 2 isn't going to be topped. That's some of the best television ever made. Look at the episode list -- hardly a single weak one in the entire group:

Creed'd.
I generally agree with the criticisms. The show's not having me split my sides anymore, but I wouldn't call it awful. It's still good for a few solid laughs even if it's not currently wire-to-wire hilarious.
In no paricular order, my three favorite characters are Darryl, Creed and Oscar but each of the characters has his/her moments. I liked how Phyllis basically admitted she's screwed around with some of Bob's employees and Meredith suggeted she likes to do 2 guys at once in the hot tub. Both of these elicited an "ewww" from me.

This week's show was pretty good. Felt like a classic Office episode. They're in the Office the whole time, Michael says all kinds of retarded things, etc.
What's the season ending cliffhanger gonna be?
I don't get why a married woman would choose to have an affair with a guy that has cameras following him around all the time. Is it because she doesn't think the documentary will ever air?

For that matter, wouldn't her Facebook profile had said she was married? In all of her zeal to bust her, did Pam simply not notice that? Or is she one of those women who changed her status to single even though she was married? I'm not on teh Facebook, I don't know these things, but I did hear this happening to a guy with whom I used to play softball--his wife changed her status to single while they were married, so I guess the latter's possible. I guess a woman who will have an affair with a man around whom a camera crew is following might mindlessly change her status to "single" but, otherwise, that seemed like a continuity flaw to me.
I'm starting to wish Pam had died in childbirth. Her and Jim picking on Dwight together is just not funny. Other than that, the episode was pretty solid. I loved when Daryle Ward turned to the camera and said, "There it is," and Andy had no idea what he was talking about.
I must have missed the part when Phyllis suggested she banged other Vance Refrigeration employees. When did that happen?

Can't remember the exact quote but she talked about sometimes flirting with Bob's employees and the way she phrased it sort of implied that it went a little further with some of them. Maybe it was strictly my inference but that was how I read it. I could be wrong.
And Pam is so not funny. She's a bigger tumor of comedy cancer than the gingerbeard gay on Modern Family.
Angela and Kelly, on the other hand, bring teh funny.

They were talking about flirting or something. Phylis's line was something like, "I flirt with the guys in Bob's warehouse. I usually stop it before it gets too far." And then Jim made one of those looks at the camera that's usually pretty funny.

THAT'S IT! I knew she looked familiar. JD blew my whispering mind's eye with his PLOT HOLES post. This episode was decent, but less Pam would help. More Darnell.
What...nothing?
Not Andy's newfound wisdom from having been the cuckold?
Not Darryl's flowery description of his sleeping place, the one so dreamy that he would think about it in order to fall asleep while at home?
Angela and Dwight's negotiations...the look that Dwight gave to the camera when Angela insisted they make eye contact while copulating because she's not "some sort of farm animal"?
Or has nobody simply seen this episode? Granted, I typically catch it about a week later after it first airs myself but I happened to be able to watch it as it aired last night.
I loved Andy's fist pump when he got called up to play bin Laden.

Irish Cream and orange juice? Did The Office just troll America?
All that singing got in the way of some perfectly good murders.
The premise of this episode, especially the way they used it as an excuse to have a Glee-like open, was weird. But the overall funny was there. I laughed definitely a few times at this one. I don't know if they're trying to do Jim and Pam with Erin and Andy but go for it. Also, Angela looked pretty damn good in this episode.
Is Dwight gay for Andy or am I reading into things?
Anyway, this show lost the plot somewhere last season, possibly before that, but it's still good for a LULZ every now and then. They should probably just end it after this season with Carrell leaving but they won't.
I wish they'd go back to Andy when he first joined. The Big Tuna and all that jazz. And, just let Erin be peripheral. There's too much Pam. Give me more Daryl. Give me more of the stock room. Give me more Dwight vs. Andy. Fuck, go back to Jim vs. Dwight.

I wish they'd go back to Andy when he first joined. The Big Tuna and all that jazz. And, just let Erin be peripheral. There's too much Pam. Give me more Daryl. Give me more of the stock room. Give me more Dwight vs. Andy. Fuck, go back to Jim vs. Dwight.
I wish that this show would end instead of becoming a sitcom version of ER.
Or you could just not watch the show after this season and pretend it ended. Then other people who still enjoy it could continue to watch.
Jeez, so butthurt over a criticism of the show?
No?

Also, I just love Darryl. No reason; can't even recall any of his recent lines. Dude just cracks me up every scene he's in.

Thirded. This season has been really good so far.
"Today is about herpes."
Also liked Kelly calling out Jim and Pam for the unplanned pregnancy.
I agree...the whole season has been good and I got plenty of laughs out of Thursday's episode. It had more Daryl, more Andy, way less Jim and Pam, and more hijinks. For some reason, I want the Holly thing to come back...for Michael.
"Between the sheets, we were Jordan and Pippen."
Needs more Creed.

More Darryl and Nard Dog, plz.
They never made a 2 hour "Deadwood" feature to follow up as promised. "Justified" is on a seasonal break. So Olyphant had to find something to keep him busy.
I'm hoping they're burning through the list of actors who have always wanted to be on "The Office" now because they're not going to continue without Steve Carrell.
I had no idea that was Olyphant until my wife clued me in. I thought it was some guy who was supposed to look like a young Billy Bob Thornton.
Kelly wearing the Hillary Clinton powersuit with the American flag pin is kinda funny.

Dude, that was just some male model.
The opening sequence with Stanley was my first literal laugh-out-loud moment in a while. Andy's face when he had no shirt was excellent.
Kevin as Michael Moore was pretty spot-on. Ballsy, even.
Halpert. You looking for someone to bang your wife?

Anything's possible with the right amount of pinot noir.
Fine, no one else will say it? Angela looked great in her nurse costume.

They are out of ideas and they are trying squeeze anything they can out of the Pam & Jim storyline.
This is what I don't get. I'm going to get all Weebsy here, but there's no way I'm attending a coworker's kid's christening that I wasn't originally invited to. ESPECILLY if there were only one jug of apple cider and finger sandwiches.

I find it interesting that any criticism of the show produces a spirited defense of the show from you. I'm not trying to start a meme, not even a tiff or a dispute, but pretending that this show is anywhere near it's prime (c. seasons 2 and 3) and deserves the life-support and artificial age-extensions that NBC is sure to provide is just ridiculous.
This show has had a great run and deserves to move off the schedule to allow its natural progeny (Parks and Rec) to take its place.

So does your quest to start an "Eli is an Office apologist (http://handjobexchange.com/sbox//dlog.php?highlight=p117906700&date=2010-11-8#p117906700)" meme stem from last month when you misinterpreted one of my posts (http://www.desipio.com/messageboard/index.php?topic=941.msg228516#msg228516) and got butthurt?
But yes, full disclosure: I still sometimes enjoy watching the Office and I have for many years. Long live it, indeed.
I find it interesting that any criticism of the show produces a spirited defense of the show from you. I'm not trying to start a meme, not even a tiff or a dispute, but pretending that this show is anywhere near it's prime (c. seasons 2 and 3) and deserves the life-support and artificial age-extensions that NBC is sure to provide is just ridiculous.
This show has had a great run and deserves to move off the schedule to allow its natural progeny (Parks and Rec) to take it's place.
BITCH

Does anybody still argue the American "Office" is better than the British one?
For a while there it was just as good, certainly - but getting out while you're ahead is something about which you Yanks have a lot to learn.
Yea. 1776...
Anyway, there was a British one?

I know it hasn't been anywhere near Seasons 2 or 3 this year, but the start of the season had been promising up until now. It looked like it was getting better...not as good as the earlier seasons...but better than last season.
I agree about Parks and Rec.

If you say so. As far as I can tell, I've commented twice recently about the general idea that TV shows should just go off the air once the quality begins to slip, which apparently translates into mounting "spirited" defenses of the show itself. My point isn't that I think The Office is still a great show, because it's not. My point is that if you think a show sucks, you can just stop watching it. Because then -- for you -- it'll be just like it was canceled! And then for people who think that each episode is better than the one before it and we're clearly headed for the greatest work of art ever in Season 19 -- like me -- we can keep watching.
As for actually pulling it off the air, it's NBC's highest-rated comedy by a huge margin, so it's not going to happen.

So, general criticism of a show means that I should stop watching it? Nothing I've said indicates that I don't find the show enjoyable any longer. On the contrary, I find The Office to be infinitely better than any piece of shit on CBS or ABC. However, can criticism of a show, leveled appropriately, lead writers, producers, and show-runners into creating a better product?
Or should a program rest on its laurels and accept its popularity without doing anything to create a better product?
I understand that the show is not going to be cancelled. Indeed, like I stated earlier, NBC is far more likely to do to The Office what they did to ER. However, the quality of the show itself can still be improved, which demands that its fans be willing to admit the show's glaring deficiencies at times.

I didn't like that subplot so much, but I thought there was a lot of the other stuff in the episode that was funny. Creed talking aboot the cartwheel was pretty outstanding.

That was not a good episode. I did like the Gabe captions, though.
And what's up with Halpert? He's in about 2 scenes and then something happens where he isn't around anymore. You don't think he's having an affair, do you?
I didn't but now I hope he is.
With Pam's mom?
With Timothy Olyphant.
Because he looks like Josh Duhamel.
WHAT A THREESOME!!!

Based on this (http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-seminar,50576/)...
QuoteThe episode's structure was more transparent than the show is on average, exacerbated by the fact that Krasinski was once again limited in his screentime thanks to what we presume to be some form of cinema commitment
...I'm guessing it's either Something Borrowed, which IMDb lists as completed (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1024677/); Everybody Loves Whales, which is in post-production; and The Muppets, which is rumored to be filming.

I hope he's filming The Office: The Movie.
BOOBIE HONKING!
I thought all the PDA was creepy and funny. I thought Kevin in the breakroom was VERY funny.
Jim should go back to making whatever movie he is working on, and he should take Pam with him.
I enjoyed seeing Toby's head explode.
I thought the magic beans stuff was pretty funny. And Kevin playing Dallas. And Michael with the gasoline in the parking lot. "Pam, I've got gasoline on my shoes and hands. Can you light the fire for me?" "I should've burned this place down when I had the chance."
I liked that the cold open was literally just Dwight making it COLD by OPENing the door.
I'm also happy for Michael, fictional television character.
Quote from: JD on March 25, 2011, 07:40:03 AM

That was the best use of Jim in a long time.
Is that Ashton Kutcher? NO...it's Kevin Malone. Just as handsome, just as smart.
Good sendoff for Michael. Funny and not overly sappy. I thought Ferrell was hilarious in his first episode but he has gotten decreasingly funny since then.

Agreed. I was worried they were going to go over-the-top sappy with it, but it was well done.
However, the ending tag with Will Ferrell was so terrible I wondered if it was intentional, meant as meta-commentary (with Dwight looking at Jim and saying, "Oh no") on everyone saying that the post-Michael Office will suck. Unfortunately, I don't think it was.
Also, Erin is going to be the baby that Phyllis gave up. According to various Internet comment threads, which are always right.
I enjoyed when Michael was putting his trophy on the desk and the camera jumped to the same angle as the opening credits. Twas a sad night last night
Angela's ghey Senator was also good for a larf.
The silent "that's what she said" was a perfect sendoff.

I'm the opposite of you on Ferrell. I don't think he's ever been hilarious on this show. HOWEVAH, I thought the puppy stuff and how he got the job stuff was pretty funny last night. "Do you know how to high 5?" "yes" "Now's the time to do it if you do."
I really liked Gabe in the bathroom and then Jim spotting the camera in the mirror. "you guys are filming people in the bathroom now?"
"Will you let me know if this ever airs"
I wrote my own companion piece to "The Vagina Monologues" called "The Penis Apologies."
Low blow, puppet.

The Creed/Pam stuff was good. The others were just awful. Jim getting Dwight's name wrong in the interview was funny.
For some reason I thought we would learn who the Scranton Strangler was. It has to be Gabe. But it looks like he's going back to Florida.

What was Angela's moral problem at the end of the episode; my DVR cut off.
Quote from: Gilgamesh on September 30, 2011, 04:43:50 PM
What was Angela's moral problem at the end of the episode; my DVR cut off.
She agonized whether she should allow her unborn child to root for the Cubs like herself and her parents and grandparents before her. Pam suggested that she have her child root for the Brewers instead.
No, I'm sorry that was Mike D.'s moral dilemma.
Quote from: Gilgamesh on September 30, 2011, 04:43:50 PM

Whether or not to contact child protective services about a coworker who she has witnessed ingesting caffeine while pregnant.
(Which is to say that she had already reported Pam to the authorities for drinking herbal tea out of mugs that might also contain trace amounts of coffee.)
I thought I was going to hate Spader. He's weird as hell, but he says some profound stuff sometimes. Then chews gum at the camera. I dig it.
Is it gum? I thought it was a Cert. Either way, me like.
Watching Ed Helms trying to get everyone else to do his job for him hit a little too close to home for me, but at least he redeemed himself in the end.
Was the rest of this last episode as awful as the first 90 second suggested it would be? I deleted it pretty quickly.

I thought Spader might keep it decent, and I still think he was a fantastic addition. But, yeah, the entire show was a Steve Carrell vehicle, and now there's no one driving it.
I thought last night was enjoyable, and its no coincidence that we had a decent amount of Robert California.
Also, Creed was fantastic in his two small parts.

It's like a mix of "trying too hard" and "mailing it in". I keep telling myself that I still watch it because, although not at its peak, it's still better than most of the sitcoms on tv. I'm pretty sure I don't believe me.
I thought James Spader was going to ruin the show, but he's really the one character keeping it somewhat interesting.
I like that Pam's not there. She talks too loud nowadays. It's unattractive. She needs to be the mousy receptionist again.
So, Ruth, what's her deal?
I thought this episode was pretty good. I liked Stanley's rant at the beginning. I liked the Jim/Dwight stuff. I liked that there was no Pam. I liked Creed. I REALLY liked the warehouse guy. I think he was Dwight's assistant last season or something. His face when he says words makes me laugh.
I'm still stuck getting through the last couple of episodes from last yer, with Will Ferrell. Can I assume it'd still be worth my time to catch up? I've always liked James Spader.

I actually don't know if you can assume that. It's been pretty hit or miss this season. It's been better lately because Pam's not on there. She left Jim because she said he hit her. That was actually a pretty dark episode, but Creed and Kevin had some pretty funny stuff in it.

I, for one, can't wait to watch the office.
It's really time to shoot this fucking show in the head. What could have been a decent story arc for the rest of this season into next was slapped together in less than an episode.
Wait, so we're throwing in the towel on the *might* theory after 1 more episode?
Yeah, they missed their free throws.
It still might get better. But it could also get worse.

It's been seven hours and I still don't know why The Office might be interesting again. Is it the upcoming end of Robert California's tenure? Catherine Tate's awful character? The possibility we might find out why Gabe has suddenly has bangs? I NEED TO KNOW.

Nah, this was their last chance at getting better. A hostile takeover plotline could have had some decent character turns. Now you're left with nothing but Dwight's the dad/the Senator digs Oscar.
Kudos to Ricky Gervais for never letting the BBC Office get to this point.
The only thing that was interesting was when David Wallace reappeared. Andy can't carry the show as the manager.

They screwed up by getting David Wallace out of the show. They spent 2 years meandering, trying to figure out what to do with Kathy Bates and Gabe, and Michael leaving and gave us a year of the totally incongruous David Spader, and nobody to play the straight man to the screwed up manager.
Rainn Wilson is supposedly getting a spinoff, Mindy Kaling is off to bigger and better things, and Helms and Krasinski have one more year in them.
Had they handled it well (and Fork's right; they didn't), you'd have David Wallace and Andy and another year of Pam and Jim (maybe halfway through the year they could relocate to Houston or somewhere far away), and maybe new faces could re-energize the show. The current characters are largely played out.

So much agree. I thought I liked Spader's character, but the more he appears the more weird he gets and there's no point to his weirdness. There's just plain weirdness. It doesn't really work all that much. Andy is funny, but he's not an authority figure in the office. That also does not work.
I don't really know what works right now other than David Wallace. Jim is still okay and so is Dwight. It just feels like it's run its course.

I probably haven't seen a new Office episode since right around the time James Spader was on.

I only saw the first couple episodes with him. Shortly after Will Ferrel was on toward the end of the previous season? I don't know--I saw maybe the first 2 episodes with Spader, which would make it over 2 years by now, I'm pretty sure. Some 30-odd episodes. Is that better, Tubbsy McCornfritter?
Great...now that there's only a couple episodes left, it's actually gotten funny again.
Well, you left me satisfied and smiling
Awesome finale. I liked that they actually managed to keep Carell's appearance a secret. And, of course, his first line was perfect.
DPD. Fun to go back the start and read through this thread, which even features an appearance by Paul on Page 3.
I thought it was amazing.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't see that you had a hearing aid. I just thought you had a weird speech...uh..."
An underrated moment was when Pam and Kelly and Ryan were in the break room talking about Pam's wedding when Kelly said: "I can't wait to get married." Then turns to a horrified Ryan and says, "How old do you think you'll be when you get married, Ryan?"
Ryan says, "Really, I don't think I'll ever get married. Nope."
Kelly bolts out of the room and Pam tells Ryan he should be careful what he says around Kelly because she really likes him. Ryan stares straight ahead and says, "I know what I said."
You had to love Michael's use of "Good Morning Vietnam!" just hours after Dwight had bombed at it during "toast practice."
Michael: "What's the difference between saleswomen and salesmen?"
Dwight: "A vagina."
Michael: "No, that's...that's science. It's a joke. What's the difference between saleswomen and salesmen?"
Dwight: "I don't know. What is it?"
Michael: "Boobs."
Dwight: But I was right about the vagina, wasn't I?
Michael: Yes, you were right about that, but not about the joke.
that reminded me of the sexual harassment episode.
Dwight: Hey, Toby, you said we could come to you with any questions.
Toby: Yes.
Dwight: Where's the clitoris? On a website, it said it was at the crest of the the labia. What does that mean? What does the female vagina look like?
Me and Andy used to have the best banter posts...
This is a safe space, so I am going to come clean and admit: after watching the first season of the US Office back when it first came out, I quit watching the series until now.
I will shortly finish the second season, and of course this show is as funny as people say it is.
On one hand, I wish I hadn't waited so long to watch this show, but now I have the entire series to binge watch over the summer. Pretty much every episode gets me to laugh my ass off at least once.

Season 3 is fantastic as well. You'll notice that it starts a slow decline in Seasons 5-7, then it falls off a cliff in the last two seasons. It'll be obvious why once you get there, but no spoilers.
On the other hand, the final 4-6 episodes of the series are very good, so it makes sense to slog through the last season too. Just a fair warning about some of the later-seasons quality. You've still got plenty of good stuff ahead though.

I'm nearly through season 3 now. I've enjoyed watching the episodes and then going back and reading the Desipio discussion.
I AM aware that Steve Carell leaves, and I'd say that in general I'm moderately spoiled if only because I've seen a lot of memes (Jim and Pam learning morse code to screw with Dwight, for example). I'd say in general that their romance has been dragging waaaaay too slowly. Just get together already!
Kind of amusing to see you guys discover Rashida Jones, who, at this point, I think everybody knows very well.

Now midway through season 5. Dwight's fire drill tried to kill me, I was laughing so hard.

Good sendoff for Michael. Funny and not overly sappy. I thought Ferrell was hilarious in his first episode but he has gotten decreasingly funny since then.
Agreed. I was worried they were going to go over-the-top sappy with it, but it was well done.
However, the ending tag with Will Ferrell was so terrible I wondered if it was intentional, meant as meta-commentary (with Dwight looking at Jim and saying, "Oh no") on everyone saying that the post-Michael Office will suck. Unfortunately, I don't think it was.
Uh, maybe it was, though....?
