The Office

[FrighT MasteR]

Decent ep, but not as funny as I had hoped. It still offered pretty funny stuff though. Too early to tell where the season is headed yet.

[Chief Falling Rock]

Are all the seasons on DVD yet or are they still waiting on the last one?

[FrighT MasteR]

Yeah, the first three are on DVD. Great extras on season 2 & 3. There's so much extra footage for each episode that sometimes it feels like you're watching entirely new episodes.

[hackerslacker]

I love The Office...although last night's episode was pretty lackluster. Hopefully next week's gets better.

[Metapher]

I love The Office. Didn't mind the new episode, episodes that come after a break are usually worse.

However, Fright, wasn't this the 9th episode in season 4? (The thing you said about seeing where the season is heading)

[cmurdur]

it was better than a re-run.

Yeah it is. I forgot most of what happened in the previous episodes, plus I don't remember there being much for story archs

[Officefan]

Story arcs... Ryan the temp, now Jan's replacement has instituted an overhaul of the Dunder Mifflin website, and the company's image in general; Dwight got dumped by Angela, who in turn started dating Andy; Jan and Mike hit a rough patch after he destroyed her civil case for wrongful termination. Oh, and Jim and Pam... dating, but not much has been revealed about their relationship. The new ep was pretty durn good IMO, but I'm not to be trusted as an unbiased reviewer.

I can't predict where the season is heading, especially with Jan & Michael. I think its a safe bet that Ryan's bullshit business plans will blow up in his face. Dwight and Angela... I think will get back together. Not betting any money though.

It's been a depressing season (which has been the intention). I can't wait to see the rest unfold.

[ammityville69]

Yeah it has been a depressing season but this last episode was actually one of my favorites so far. All of the most interesting characters IMO were put together in closer quarters and I loved the interactions. Cant stand Jan though. shes the definition of the word CUNT in my book.

[WarBeast]

I've never gotten around to watching this show, but I caught a couple of clips on youtube that fuckin cracked me up... the whole "I suspect Jim Halpert" thing was frickin hilarious... and the exercise ball scene was priceless...

:mhehe:

I liked this one too... the smile on Halpert's face as he walks away fucking kills me.

[FrighT MasteR]

There's an intro of the office that cracked me up so bad. Started off with Ryan talking to the camera about how Michael creeps him out when he stares at him, then they cut to Michael staring at him all hardcore with seemingly devious intent through the window from inside his office. Hilarious stuff :lol:

[WarBeast]

Just found out that netflix has The Office on its Instant viewing thing... Watching it right now... finished the first ep and enjoyed it alot...

[choptop2]

Loved the Dinner Party, hilarious stuff.

[WarBeast]

The chick that plays Pam needs to do a naked photo spread...

Aha thats my favorite scene from the office. THe look on Michael's face as he tries to look away and pretend he wasnt staring is priceless.

:coolbeer:

NBC returned to an all-original lineup Thursday night, highlighted by the much-anticipated resumption of The Office. Most of the network's comedies were roughly on par with their pre-strike averages, but The Office spiked to deliver its highest rating since the show's fall season premiere (9.2 million, 4.8/12). :rocker:

[Metapher]

The chick that plays Pam needs to do a naked photo spread...

Jenna Fischer is great :nod: And she's married (I think married) with James Gunn, who made Slither, Scooby Doo, and co-made Tromeo & Juliet :coolbeer:

[Knight]

Not the greatest ep but pretty funny nonetheless. The bit about Michael getting multiple vasectomies had me rolling.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

I've only seen like 1 episode and didn't think it was that funny, But I guess I'm gonna have to check it out... I got (I think) the 1st season on DVD for X-Mas (random gift) and I never opened it, gonna check it out now.

[FrighT MasteR]

First season is decent. It's only 6 eps and it's where we really get to know the characters in the show, so a lot of the jokes are hits and misses. Overall, it's still funny. It's not until the second season, where the characters are established and more crazy stuff ensues, that it really becomes hilarious.

[Metapher]

I think the first season has taken alot from the british show too, so don't judge the show until you've seen a few episodes from the second season.

[FrighT MasteR]

Tried to watch the original UK series, but couldn't get into it. The characters weren't as funny (more annoying than anything, especially the "Dwight" role), and the storylines were pretty similar to the US version, so I already knew what was going to happen.

I felt the same way. I prefer the US version, although people that watched the UK version first usually prefer it over the US.

[Metapher]

I tried getting into the UK one too, but the boss (Michael) wasn't funny at all so I never finished a whole episode.

[FrighT MasteR]

Another decent episode, but nothing special. Not sure why, but it seems like the writing is a little off after they returned from the strike :(

[hackerslacker]

new episode was better. Much funnier than last week, but I agree...although the part about Wendy was hilarious

[choptop2]

She's a hot n juicy red head.

[King_ov_Hell]

I really didn't like the show when it first started here, but I started watching the repeats and it's grown on me alot.

[realizm]

i thought the dinner party was funnier then this past weeks episode IMO

[FrighT MasteR]

Good episode tonight. Lots of funny moments. Scene with Meredith gettin' hit by the football was hilarious :nod:

[choptop2]

Lot of big laughs in last night's episode.

::SPOILER::
Didn't see them turning Ryan into a coke fiend, wonder how that will end up.

[FrighT MasteR]

I'm liking where the Ryan arc is goin' so far. Was gettin' tired of seeing him being successful :D

[hackerslacker]

hopefully they f him over and bring Jan back or something.

[WarBeast]

Well, between Netflix, Bit-torrent, and DVR, I'm all up to date on the Office... Watched every episode from the first episode up to now in in about 12 days. Yeah, I'm hooked....

[WarBeast]

I just noticed on IMDB, that several of the actors have the same first names as their characters... odd....

Creed is played by Creed Bratton
Phyllis is played by Phyllis Smith
Angela is played by Angela Kinsey
Oscar is played by Oscar Nunez

[FrighT MasteR]

I noticed that as well. Some of them also play a role in the writing.

[WarBeast]

Creed cracks me up... always stealing shit and doing underhanded stuff to keep his job.

[cmurdur]

anyone ever notice that Meridith's computer always has Spider Solitaire on it?

[FrighT MasteR]

Nope, never noticed.

[ammityville69]

just watched the new episode. I liked it alot.

Spoiler*
At first I thought ryan was gay when they went into the club and he was with the dwarf guy, which would have been good irony, but I like it this way too. He needs to be taken down a peg or two.

[hackerslacker]

anyone ever notice that Meridith's computer always has Spider Solitaire on it?

i noticed this on the last episode, but I dont know if that has been a running gag or not. Most of the time I just see the Dunder mifflin wallpapers on most of their screens

[Metapher]

They always say that when the actors are in the background, they use the computers for their own stuff. Like Pam, she's usually on her Myspace. Maybe Meredith loves Spider Solitaire?

The latest episode was really great. Nice plots, Ryan the druggie was great, and I loved Toby at the end. Always liked Toby, he's just a sweet old guy.

[hackerslacker]

Cool tid bit Metapher.

[FrighT MasteR]

Decent ep, but more drama than comedy. It was nice to finally see Stanley pop and finally say what's on his mind.

[Dr. Awesome]

Agreed also nice to see Michael execute some managerial skills in handling Stanley in the end

[FrighT MasteR]

Also true. :nod:

[FrighT MasteR]

"...and you've already met her -- Pam Beesly; office hottie. She will do you."

:spit:

[cmurdur]

"She's already dated two guys in the office, that we know of."

[FrighT MasteR]

Decent ep. Had some funny parts and not as dramatic as the last. Hopefully the hour special next week will make up for the rest of these so-so eps.

[Knight]

The show needs more Darrell.

[cmurdur]

The show needs more Darrell.

"What's rap?" :mhehe:

[hackerslacker]

WHo was the other guy? I heard the pam dates 2 guys joke, but I didnt know the second guy??

it was funny. Im kind of disappointed that next week is the finale I felt ripped off this season with the writers strike. Hopefully next year will be back to normal.

[FrighT MasteR]

Remember Pam's first BF Roy?

[hackerslacker]

haha wow how could I forget that douche!

[WarBeast]

So, do you all think that Halpert's "warning" status is because Toby wants Pam and is trying to get him fired or because Ryan is a little dickhead that doesn't like Halpert or bit of both?

Just curious on everyone's take on it... I'd always thought Jim and Ryan got along okay, then that shit happened episode before last and I was like "what the hell is this shit?!!! Little cokehead has it out for halpert?!!" The way Toby was acting though, made think it was a whole lot of jealousy regarding Pam... I dunno...



I'd fuck the hell out of Pam...

[cmurdur]

I'd fuck the hell out of Pam...

I'd totally duet with her.

[FrighT MasteR]

Great episode, probably one of the best since its return. Had me laughing from start to finish, and delivered a lot of interesting arch storylines. Lookin' forward to the next season :nod:

[hackerslacker]

Great episode I enjoyed every second of it. I look forward to next season. I hope this scenario unfolds...

Guess in black:
Pam moves to NY to take classes and moves up to the corp office. Jim will take Ryan's position.

I feel bad for Dwight. And i got ticked off when Andy stole Jim's thunder...

Holly: How much change do you have?
Kevin: holds out hand
Holly: 25, 50....this..is a button..., 75 cents! You can get anything from top row!


Kevin: she has been really nice to me, I think im gonna bang Holly.

[FrighT MasteR]

The thing with Kevin and Holly is pretty hilarious. I hope it lasts a while before she realizes he isn't really slow :D

[cmurdur]

"Suck on this" :lol:

[hackerslacker]

Holly has bad teeth, anyone else notice?

I caught Meredith playing Spider Solitaire!
