This episode didn't bring the funny as much as most episodes do but it did a good job of forwarding the Jim-Pam relationship and, at least for me, was the final push to seperate this show from the UK version.

This episode was great - I loved the screenplay read around the table (and the intern actually took part!) and the fact that Michael showed that he was good at something.

You're damned right about it happening in a lot of offices. Clueless managers who once did a job they were good at were the order of the day at my most recent employer -- it is part of what drove me to go back to school.

"I give Micheal's screenplay.... two thumbs down" *smirk*
I really like Kevin and his stupid grins better than his counterpart on the English show. He may be a one note character, but damn if he isn't funny.

What were the names? Michael Scar, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Samuel L. Chang (?) and what did he change Dwight to?

It is so so sad and reminds me so much of Neil from the original, who, on the surface was great, yet actually was a bully.
Yes, I am overreacting...but I just cannot belive the basement morality they justify. Who is the A-hole whom is writing Jim and Pam?

Michael under the desk talking with Jan on the phone was priceless.
"No I did not get you drunk on purpose."
"No I did not drug you."
"You want to see other people... exclusively?"

Man what a gyp. I was at Chili's tonight and a huge group of us ordered 2 awesome blossoms. I'm like "I'll have an awesome blossom, extra awesome" and nobody got it.

I like that they showed why Micheal is such a good salesman. Hell, he even closed the deal with Jan.
