There is a new episode of The Office airing right after the Super Bowl. Check your DVRs and make sure it is set to record at this different time. Also, based on past experience with shows that air after football games, you should set your DVR to record past the end. I set mine to record for an hour and a half.
I’ve set mine for an extra hour.
What is this thing you call DVR? I have BT.
That’s funny, but I wouldn’t bother risking it on something that goes up on nbc.com the next day.
I was *JUST *going to make a reminder thread!! Thanks **Shir- **
…er,
–thanks OP!!!
I hope the “special guests” are incorporated in the story appropriately. **Jessica Alba’s one step away from staring in some failed TV series if you ask me, Jack Black is funny but has as many blemishes as hits, and Cloris Leachman’s **awesome, but her career basically consists of ‘special guest’ parts these days. I’m, a little weary, but I’ve seen some scenes from the episode, and they were very funny. Also **David Wallace **and Mr. Bob Vance, (from **‘Vance Refrigeration’ **fame) will show up!
Is Super Bowl postgame always this interminable, or did the game run short?
Bring on the Office!
I am now convinced that all Office episodes need to be 1 hour long.
The fire thing at the beginning was a bit much. I think what brought it over the edge for me was they brought David into the mix, and if it got all the way up to Corporate, then Dwight and Michael would have been fired.
Other than that I thought it was a great episode. I did not feel sorry for Michael during the roast in the least bit. And I thought Pam was adorable during such.
“If his penis were an iPod it’d be a shuffle.”
Very goofy but funny episode. But that made the serious stuff about Pam’s parents seem really out of place.
I thought the roast was pretty good, as well as Michael’s counter-roast (“Boom! Roasted!”) and everybody singing "Staying Alive’ during the CPR scene was good (“Another One Bites the Dust” and “That’s the Way (Uh Huh Uh Huh)” are good CPR time keepers as well). I think Ed Helms is an underrated contributor to the show.
I thought the resolution of the Jim/Pam story was contrived and saccharine. I’m getting a little tired of Jim and Pam just being so perfect all the time.
The pirated Jack Black movie should have been better than it was. It was a good idea for a storyline, but the fake movie itself was just stupid and implausible.
I am shocked — shocked — that something stupid and implausible found its way into a sitcom.
I didn’t catch who Cloris was making out with at the end?
Dwight was great in this episode.
“…and you don’t have any land.”
Did you guys watch to the very end of the episode? They included some teaser material from what I assume to be the next episode and surprise, surprise, they’re throwing a pretty big wrinkle into the Pam/Jim relationship.
Karen Filippelli is pregnant. Complete with Michael stating that he’s trying to figure out the last time that Karen and Jim had sex. This should be interesting.
I dont really keep up with the timeline but hasn’t she been gone quite a long time now?
They broke up at the end of season 3. Obama was mentioned in this episode, so we can assume that each season documents an entire year, and we’re in the middle of season 5. So unless Jim cheated on Pam with Karen, it’s been about 18 months since he was with her.
Can we please spoiler box preview info? There’s a reason I turn the TV off before previews come on.
Fudge.
Promos aren’t spoilers.
Hey, great point – in fact, why don’t we hash this out for the nth time, and once again conclude that spoiler boxing is really simple to do, and it preserves the surprise for those of us who intentionally don’t watch promos?
I can’t believe no one posted about Dwight slicing off the CPR dummy’s face and doing his best Silence of the Lambs impression.
David Wallace: And why did you slice off the dummy’s face?
Dwight: I wanted to prove the scene from the Silence of the Lambs was unrealistic. Turns out it was very realistic.
David Wallace: Now we have to pay thirty five hundred dollars for a new dummy.
Michael: A CPR dummy cost five thousand three hundred dollars?
