Re: The Office -- "Trivia" -- 1/12/12
I don't dislike this show enough to stop watching it all together.....but my enthusiasm is not there like it once was.

I cared about what was happening with Michael Scott, and what was happening in his life. It was entertaining to see his failed attempts at relationships or one night stands.

I always liked Andrew Bennard throughout the series as well. I thought his music and dance stuff was always great. But I just can't get into him being the boss.

I still watch it live though, unless I don't for one reason or another.

I didn't care for the Dwight stuff, but I enjoyed the trivia game. Loved the bit at the end where they get nothing right

I like how Gabe flies out between Scranton and Florida every day. Poor guy.

The second one coincided with Jenna Fischer's pregnancy. She had a boy in September.

Anybody else think that the secretary at Sabre is going to be an expanded role?

It almost seemed like she was on a different show. People have tolerated/ignored Dwight, but she was downright condescending which was nice to see since his character is so out there.

I've been rewatching season 2 episodes recently so I was expecting to be disappointed by comparison but I really enjoyed this episode. I'm glad they had Andy feature in a plot that didn't involve his self esteem.

That's pretty cool if it was him.

I was thinking that they should have ran the opening credits without the theme song. That would have been perfect to go along with the silent game.

I just watched it again on my Tivo and it's him for sure. He even kind of darts his eyes at the camera knowingly. Also, out of all the scenes in the bar, his table only appears in that shot.

They should try to put him in every episode. He could be The Office's version of The Observer.
