I wonder how long they'll have the new chick thinking Kevin is retarded.

 

[Jellydonuts]

I geared up for this by watching last season's finale. Kevin saying he was going to bang Holly was great. The best line was Michael telling Jan "you cheated on me when I specifically asked you not to?"

Where have I see the actress that plays Holly before? And if you answer, "Google it" or "IMDB," I hate you.

 

[bevo_daddy]

Well...if you would have IMDB'd it you would know that Amy Ryan who plays Holly also played in The Wire. That's probably where you seen her.

She was also in Dan In Real Life and Gone Baby Gone

 

[UnBiased Horn]

she was nominated for her work in Gone Baby Gone but she will always be beattie in The Wire, the chick McNulty settled down with and unsettled down with.

 

[HistoryHorn]

Anyone else think that this could be the episode where The Office jumps the shark?

 

[Horns11]

I'm a little worried about this season as well. We all know that shows can't last forever, and NBC boosted the production values (i.e. threw more cash) at the Office for the 5th season. So in other words, they're going to blow the format that was set in the first two (EXCELLENT) seasons, and make it more like the other crap on tv.

 

[Bevo Incognito]

Total eclipse of the fart.

This episode had its moments but Ryan coming back and loving Kelly was dumb. Also the Angela-Andy engagement needs to end, it's just stupid.

It reminded me of a new Simpsons episode. It has its moments where it showed shades of former greatness but in the end it just reminded you how it's different.

Show is better in 30 min segments. Still looking for it's sea legs after the debut. Thought the Sumo suite was funny.

Part 2 - watching It's Always Sunny In Philly, and this show is 100 times funnier than Office...and it's not even that close Not a more humorous show on tv.

I watched some older episodes from 2005 within the last few weeks...has anybody noticed the difference in Steve Carrell's hairline? Vastly different.

I thought it was a good episode but agree that they need to keep it at 30 minutes. Not sure I like Ryan coming back as the temp...thought he was in jail? Still had me rolling though.

Dwight: "Just hold it in your mouth if you can't swallow"
Jim (looking at Michael): "......Really? Nothing?"

 

[trueut2003]

Agree they need to end the Angela-Andy storyline. I am glad they didn't drag out the Jim-Pam engagement. Also think Ryan as the receptionist is kinda lame.

Favorite part has to be Dwight dropping off Phyllis and making her walk back to the office.

"You abandoned me in a bad neighborhood!"
"So? I took your purse."

I like how Michael would have a goatee in one scene and then shave it off in the next.

 

[TornACL]

The body awareness stuff was classic.

Loved the pictures in the background:

1. Fat twins on mopeds
2. Fat Elvis
3. Stay-Puft the Marshmallow man

 

[Creed]

You left off the best one...Jabba.

 

[UTgrad_KUlaw]

The Jim/Pam engagement is over with. They're going to drag this relationship out until the end. Just because they're engaged doesn't mean the drama is over with.

I bet they break up before it's all over with.

I'm tired of this storyline.

 

[Mistadobalina]

Not even funny. The only line I laughed at was the line referenced above about Jim saying to michael "really. nothing?" when someone said about holding it in their mouth and swallowing. Nothing else was any good.

They took Michael well over the top last season, and they've now done it with Dwight.

I'd never watched "sunny in filthadelphia", but did record it and agree that show is much better.

 

[HornHawk]

It wasn't the best they done, but come on, even when it is sorta off, it's still better than 90% of the other comedies on right now.
