The Office thread

I thought last night's episode was pretty strong and had a good balance to it. The best in quite some time...especially Toby.

"Oscar, in your experience..."

Very uncomfortable TV! lol!

Holly: The economic downturn has been difficult recently, soon forcing the closure of which branch? For five-hundred thousand dollars, is it A) Scranton, B) Buffalo, C) Utica, or D) toothbrush?

Michael: I will say B, Buffalo! Final answer!

Holly: That is correct!

I couldn't figure out why Toby would throw Jim under the bus like that. Then I remembered.

Last night's episode was the first time in a while the Office gave me a belly laugh from the diaphragm. It was that part where Toby and Dwight stalk [forget his name.. the black warehouse guy] and they call him an A hole out the window and he turns and it's his sister just as the guy comes out the front door on crutches. The timing or something really struck me funny.

You're not already registered for a birdhouse are you?

No joke my wife actually got teary eyed during the previews for The Office Wedding this weekend. I will never let her live that one down.

Yeah, at some point last year my wife and I realized we were more interested in Jim and Pam's relationship than that of anyone we know in real life.

That was an eye-opener.

In an office there's got to be both men and women, because you need that crazy sexual tension to keep things interesting.

ldc still wants to keep watching this show, I think last night's episode may have finally gotten her to accept that it no longer holds a place on our DVR.

How was this show so entertaining for 2-3 years and now not even entertaining for the cringe factor?

Speaking of this, I'm going to go out on a limb with an unpopular position, but so be it.

I knew it was time to walk away from The Office when I saw that episode wherein Michael, Jim and Dwight drive over to the other office, put on dumb disguises, shoot silly string and do something or other to the photocopy machine. I was done in an instant. Something in me popped, much like when a pro athlete innately knows that he has just endured a season-ending injury.

This past week I was watching Parks and Rec and I felt that same pop. It was a faint pop but an all too familiar one. Leslie is running for City Council and she is so excited about something, she breaks out into a gratuitous breakdance/headspin move while making three stooges-type "zany" noises. POP.

I think this season is the start of the end. It is still a great show, don't get me wrong. But I can't deny that I felt something that wasn't good. I'm going out on a limb and predicting it.

It is time for Aziz to have his own show anyway.

I never got on the Parks and Rec train, probably have only seen 2-3 episodes I just never got into it. I love Aziz. His stand up is great, I saw him in Portland last summer and his CD kills.

Does he still bits about his chubby little cousin that loves TNT?

Whatever. James Spader is the best thing that's happened to that show in years. Just looking at him makes me laugh. I completely lost it when he took off his pants to jump in the pool.
