The Office.......

[LMP]

Yeah, not a great episode. Loved drunk Jim trying to ride his bike and Michael mistaking it for a costume party.

Those were definite highlights

also:

The Diwali teaching session in the conference room
Michael's "Sandler" Song
and Kevin's foot disease remark

were good.

 

[U2ME3]

I laughed when Kelly's parents were talking to Ryan and her mom asked him if he was saving his money to start a family and he says "or for travel...and an x-box."

 

[corianderstem]

There were a few good moments last night, but I'm kind of thinking this season isn't as good (i.e., as funny) as last season. I'm bummed.

 

[BAW]

If you haven't seen this show, give it a try.....you'll thank me later.

Thank you Carlos

I wonder if part of the reason behind this is because the original version only lasted two seasons and now the US version is kind of "on its own", so to speak. Not that I haven't enjoyed this season, but I see what some are saying.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I liked it.



Just seeing Dwight makes the show.

 

[corianderstem]

It's a different show from the UK version in many ways, but one of them is that I think they try and make Michael Scott more sympathetic than the writers of the UK version made David Brent.

Maybe that's one of its weaknesses. It makes you feel a little worse laughing at Michael Scott, and maybe that makes the show lose a little bit of edge.

Also, I really don't like this Karen person ... and I'm not even one of those "PAM AND JIM 4EVAH!!!!!!11!!" kind of people.

Anyway. It's still one of the better shows on TV, and it's still worth watching, so there you go. Dwight still makes me laugh and cringe in that wonderful way, so I agree with RedRocksU2. Dwight makes it worth it.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I just like the way he looks when he talks, his eyes don't wink, his head is perfectly stable...but his mouth is going a million miles a second.

[corianderstem]

My favorite part of last night's episode was Dwight's utterly intent, serious expression as he played guitar during Michael's song. HA!

That, and Ed Helms and Tuna singing "Closer to Fine." Double HA!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

^ Ok, I could have missed Bob Dylan for THAT? What am I, nuts?



I'm not sure when I'll have time this weekend, but I'll be watching this as soon as I can.

Gay Witch Hunt, The Coup, and The Initiation were all funnier than any of the episodes of Season 2, imo.



god, last night's episode, when Michael grabbed the mic and you knew he was going to be an idiot and propose, hilarious.


Jim and Andy! i'm glad they're not making Andy out to be the douche he was in the first episode.



if you guys only knew what's going to happen in the next couple weeks. . .

 

[Pam Beesly]

Also, I really don't like this Karen person ...

Karen?

 

[corianderstem]

Um ... Karen Carpenter. Yeah, that's who I mean. I don't like her.

Well, I mean, she had a gorgeous voice and I'm sorry she's dead and all, but um ... yeah. I don't like that Karen Carpenter person.

Carry on, Pam.

 

[Pam Beesly]

I think I'd better go order some more rubber bands and paperclips now. (Target practice and all. )

Be right back. I probably shouldn't be on the internet too much after all, seeing as how Michael is lurking around.

Yeah, how is that daily log of his looking? Any Bill Cosby impersonations today?

 

[Pam Beesly]

No. He and Dwight were in his office most of the day.

With the blinds drawn.

Time for me to go home and change into my pjs. Crazy Friday night in the life of this single gal!

 

[RedRocksU2]

Pam is that YOU?

 

[corianderstem]

By the way Pam, thank you for talking him out of adopting a baby.

The Initiation was a classic, but it's better than The Injury or The Booze Cruise?

que?

que?!

 

[discothequeLP]

-- the brain teasers at the beginning
-- 'and just as you have planted this beet seed into the groud, so will i plant my seed in you'
-- ' . . . that sounds great, thanks dwight!'
-- 'congratulations resourceful salesman!' *funniest salute ever*
-- 'welcome, to shrute farm!'
-- dwight's test of ryan, especially 'also, i would have accepted. . . snakes'
-- 'just get in the coffin'
-- kevin & michael -- that one song
-- egging that company's office
-- 'temp! temp! temp! temp. . . ryan! ryan! ryan!'
- the phone call!

better than booze cruise, almost better than the injury

 

[Westport]

Karen?

I just heard that...

Karen = the love baby of Quincy Jones & Peggy Lipton

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, I'm going to agree with those who say it's not as funny this season. I didn't have as many laughs in this episode, but this show on an off night is better than any other show at its best.

Jim and the bike.

 

[prisz25]

yeah it wasn't that funny last episode, i just hope that next episode is better!

 

[LMP]

The next set of episodes:

Branch Closing:

When Jan tells Michael that the Scranton Branch will be shutting down, Michael strives to keep his staff's spirits up. Meanwhile, everyone privately begins to envision how their lives will change in the aftermath.

The Merger:

The Scranton branch and the Stamford branch of Dunder-Mifflin are merged, bringing old friends Jim and Pam back together after months apart. Michael and Dwight and the other employees deal with the changes.

The Convict:

Michael discovers that one of his new coworkers has a criminal past, written by series creators Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

we all knew this was happening sooner or later.

 

[discothequeLP]

thanks, spoiler alert!


btw The Merger will be 40 mins long

 

[Pam Beesly]

Pam is that YOU?

Yep. I'm pretty sure it's me.

It was the least I could do. Seriously, considering who it is, it was the very least I could do.

 

[LMP]

It's on the NBC website and WikiPedia, plus they've been introducing new characters + Jan asked Pam to monitor Michael, not that much of a surprise.

And look at what happened on the BBC version.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Yep. I'm pretty sure it's me.

Best alter ever.

I think I know who it is btw.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

They're replaying The Simpsons with Ricky Gervias playing a David Brent-ish character right now.
