The Office -- "Heavy Competition" -- 04/16/09

The Office

Synopsis:

Spoiler:


The bizarre bond between Dwight and Michael faces a great challenge when Dwight begins to regard bigwig Charles (Idris Elba) as his newest hero. Meanwhile, Andy comes to Jim's emotional rescue.



Looking forward to tonight. Dwight and Michael facing an obstacle in their relationship sounds fun.

If "tits" means "sucky" then I agree.

Is this an expression?
I haven't been real impressed the last few weeks. Not crazy about the Michael Scott Paper Company.

Yep. Eric Cartman uses it in the tooth fairy episode. I've really enjoyed the change of pace of the last few episodes and think the writing has been spot on.

Re: The Office -- "Heavy Competition" -- 04/16/09

This episode was the (best/worst) episode of all time. This show has (improved greatly/been so-so/jumped the shark) since (Michael Quit/Holly Left/Jim and Pam got together/The merger/the end of season 2/Diversity Day/They ripped off the BBC version). If this keeps up I'll (be watching every week/stop watching... real soon... I mean it. But I'll still be posting here).

Now that we got that out of the way...

Can't wait. Rainn was hilarious on Reno 911 last night.

Is there really any point in continuing this thread now? We'll just be going through the motions.

This episode is pretty poor right now, but that cold open was probably the best I have seen not involving Jim and Dwight.

I think the show's pretty much always funny but, it seems like they're going with the Michael Scott Paper Company being a success. I just wonder what money he's buying paper with and paying his employees salaries.

Credit cards would be my guess.

I think the only thing that kind of throws me out of it is that the companies ordering aren't asking that question. Then again, they might figure D-M will always be there to bail them out if Scott fails to deliver.

I wasn't feeling the whole Jim-Andy subplot, but I thought the Dwight-Michael "war" was tremendously great. That was some of the best stuff on the show in a long time. I'll go on record as saying that I now I officially love the whole running Michael Scott Paper Company plot. I really look forward to seeing where that goes.

Dwight's "And give my best to... (reads back of rolodex card) Sandy, your black wife" during the customer call had me dying. Great stuff...
