[QUOTE=msmith537] Not even the “Radishon” comment? [/QUOTE] No, sorry. It didn’t rise above amusing to me. I liked Bates Motel better than “The Radishon.” Juim’s “How are you doing this?” probably exceeded “amusing”, but didn’t make it to “laugh out loud.” ---

[QUOTE=Happy Lendervedder] Umm, this _is_ the place for us to discuss what we think about “The Office,” isn’t it? [/QUOTE] Umm, obviously it is…good observation! You’re a quick one, I’ve got my eye on you. Are you truly upset on **Cubsfan**'s behalf or are you just feeling offended today? That was a good natured poke at a fellow poster, not a condemnation of his/her belief system based on a sitcom. ---

At least Office threads don’t get constantly derailed with arguments about the use of unofficial nicknames. 😃 ---

What was the deal with the cases of Boise paper? I did a doubletake on the logo, thinking, “Damn, even Dunder-Mifflin orders from someone else??” But then Dwight said to the sales call “I heard you’re low on office supplies.” Is he supposed to have swipe the customer’s Boise paper?? ---

[QUOTE=Cuckoorex] I loved this episode; one of my favorites so far. This episode really seems to have polarized the Office audience, though. Odd. [/QUOTE] I agree. I’m a huge fan of the Office, and I didn’t like this episode at all. My boss, another huge fan, loved it. Michael, in my opinion, was just too pathetic to be funny, as was Dwight. Still, some great scenes (I loved Mose running next to Jim’s car.). ---

> [@](#): > > I don’t understand all the complains that Pam and Jim are annoying because they’re “better” than everybody else. I agree. I’ve actually been really pleased so far that Pam and Jim have just been acting like happier versions of the characters they’ve always been, and they’ve avoided becoming too saccharine or obnoxious. And yeah, I thought that Jim and Pam were always be “better” ones; they’re the ones who make faces at the camera when someone in the office is doing something goofy. ---

[QUOTE=Philster] Also, when Andy was chatting with Pam and spread his legs out real far to lower himself down to the counter/desk height was perfectly, stupidly funny, for almost no good reason.

It seems that this series can do no right this season. The last few episodes have been savaged, here and elsewhere, for alleged shark-jumping and caricaturization of the main players—this one was clearly intended to show they’re still “human,” and yet it still generates widespread disappointment. I don’t envy the show’s creators at all. At this point, it’s clearly experiencing a downfall induced by its own success. It certainly isn’t perfect (I’m still struggling to forgive the “Michael drives his car into the lake” travesty) but I think it’s still pretty damned entertaining for a network sitcom. [QUOTE=Cubsfan] Damn Kelly is one unattractive lady. [/QUOTE] Really? I know it comes down to personal preference, but I’d freely consent to relations with Kelly. Even knowing it would end badly, and that I’d end up being stalked afterward. ---

If you didn’t appreciate and laugh at Jim and Pam’s review of Schrute Farms then yous missed the best part of the episode. It was a hearttwarmingly kind review despite of the irony. ---

[QUOTE=pricciar] and was unhappy with the vegetarian choices at Kelly’s Costume Party. [/QUOTE] Angela: I’m vegetarian. Is there anything I can eat? Indian kid: It’s all vegetarian. Angela: I’ll have a piece of bread. … You used your hands! Regarding the cat – After Angela rejected Garbage the cat, Dwight left it at Vance Refrigeration. Andy found the cat in Vance Refrigeration’s delivery bay, so chances are good it’s the same cat. ---

[QUOTE=Hentor the Barbarian] Hasn’t that always been the case? [/QUOTE] I believe he was hired on originally just to be a writer, and as the case with the guy that plays Toby - they wrote him into the show. Don’t all writers that get material onto a sitcom get a producer credit? I know that’s how The Simpsons operates.
