Just the network-released premise already has me chuckling. I'm working tonight but I'll schedule my break at 915-10 so I can catch this in the break room.

And yes, Jenna Fisher =

Wow... this episode just seemed to fly by. I looked up at the clock while Michael and Jim were singing their duet number, and couldn't believe it was almost over that soon. I guess time flies when you're having fun. I thought it was another good episode.

I agree with slappy. This episode just flew by!

My favorite parts were Dwight's "down river from a bread factory" comment and Pam's look when the camera caught her in Jim's bedroom.

Another great episode. Easily the best comedy series around now that Arrested Development is in TV heaven.

This show is similar to Entourage - it's over way too fast.

Loved how the cameraman not so subtley ran over to Pam's desk to point out that Dwight was eating the Baby Ruth.

I love how they springboard from email surveillance into Michael being excluded from social gatherings because he's the overbearing party-pooper who just doesn't realize it. The writers sort of brought back Michael's self-unawareness and his need to be the center of attention without being worthy of the center of attention.

I was dying during Michael's FBI gun-toting mania in improv.

Had to laugh pretty hard at Angela's meatless snack (Dwigt) for the ending shot before the end credit segment with Michael telling how he got into improv.

I liked Michael walking in and seeing the IT guy "Come on, that guy!"

The cameraman running over to Pam was great as well

That was my favorite part. I also loved Michael doing every improv with a gun, and then having to hand them over to the instructor.

I'm usually just moderately entertained by this show, a gag here or there, nothing special, but that improv stuff was damn funny. Also liked the cameraman.

First it was New Pornographers playing in the background (funny thing, I went to a sports bar just recently and they were playing them and the AC Newman solo record plus some Zumpano, wowsers!) and now Clap your Hands and Say Yeah are being played in the background of this party, watch out the show is getting too hip. Now, I will be impressed if I hear some Unicorn Hard-On.

Now to the refrences of Dwight and Angela, makes you look back at past episodes (especially the one when Michael messes around with his boss), where Angela says that office relationships are no ones' buisness but their owns. Hmmmm....mysterious!

Oh yeah, funnywise, this episode probably had the least amount of laughs for me but it was an important one for Micheal's character, Jim and Pam's relationship, and of course the new arc.

Loved it, as usual.

"Yes, I am having a party tonight. I have 3 cases of imported beer, a karaoke machine...and Michael's not invited. 3 ingredients to a great party."

I love Jim.

I loved the scene with Jim & Pam in his room, with the yearbook, etc. Seemed like such a sweet real moment.

No one here got the 'fireguy' joke? Kevin and Ryan were by the BBQ and Kevin said something like "Don't get to close....fire guy"... a little joke from a few episodes ago when Ryan had his pop-tart burn.
