I'm glad I caught this one. The spray, the vomit, the temp being "dead", "when he rolled in", so much funny stuff. |
That was seriously a masterpiece of comedy writing and acting. We watched it and instantly rewound it and watched it again. Just from the very opening seconds with Michael's phone call panic it was brilliant.
I only wish they would have a little more show during the credits like they do for Earl (which I only know because the DVR catches the end of that show when padding out the Office) |
I can't believe how consistantly AWESOME The Office is. Every week it one ups itself. I was skeptical after season 1 (which I did really like) that it would ever come close to the heights of the British version, but clearly after the episodes we've seen so far this season, it has risen above and beyond.

So 10:30 last night I stop playing poker and go downstairs to fix myself a late night snack and watch my favorite show. Stupid Comcast dvr didn't record it. Luckily it did record four kings which I cancelled the season pass on last week though....

Honestly, I forgot about the car wreck because it was in the opening credits and seemed like a throwaway thing. Loved Pam hugging Dwight before they left, saying that it wouldn't ever be the same again.
Just a great episode all around. I love it when Jim gets exasperated and drops any pretense of Michael being in charge. Totally willing to call him on his shit. |
The "Dad?" line was brilliant and perfectly timed, with long pause before it was delivered. Almost as if Dwight was trying to recognize who the person was.
Another great episode of a great show. |

I'm not sure if they brought in new people (writers, etc.) to make changes this 2nd season, but the difference in the quality of the comedy between the 1st and 2nd seasons is like night and day. Chris |
Dwight reaching out to Michael as he descends into the catscan chamber was great, as was Pam telling the camera in horror, "Oh my God, I'm kinda friends with Dwight!"
|
Michale holding Dwights foot while Dwight was going into the catscan...then smelling his hand :lol:

Exception: the pilot (based on the pilot script of the original series), which really didn't work. |

But with the episode last night, I think we will see a more drastic turn. The plots are getting more outrageous and less realistic, a perfect example was the opening scene last night. It's almost like the switch from the "everyday" material of the Larry David-Seinfeld era to the more ridiculous plots of the final few seasons of that show.

Ratings were up this week. CSI was a repeat, of course, but it's promising that people are at least trying this show out (unlike Arrested Development) and hopefully getting hooked.
CBS grabbed first at 9 p.m. with the 11.6/18 for a "CSI" rerun. ABC was in first at the half-hour point thanks to "Dancing" (12.1/18), but the premiere of "Crumbs" (8.2/12) took a dive. NBC's "My Name Is Earl" and "The Office" averaged a 7.1/11 for third. Few viewers returned for FOX's first new "The OC" (3.4/5) in a while, but The WB saw some enthusiasm for the 3.1/5 premiere of the second installment of "Beauty and the Geek." UPN's "Eve" and "Cuts" were last. And the detailed breakdown... With CBS (households: 9.3/15, #T1; adults 18-49: 4.1, #2) in repeats, NBC (households: 7.9/12, #3; adults 18-49: 5.6, #1) emerged as the adults 18-49 winner on Thursday thanks to new episodes of "Will & Grace" (households: 6.5/10, #T10; adults 18-49: 4.4, #7), "Four Kings" (households: 6.0/9, #11; adults 18-49: 4.5, #T5), "My Name Is Earl" (households: 7.7/11, #6; adults 18-49: 5.9, #2), "The Office" (households: 6.5/10, #T10; adults 18-49: 5.1, #4) and "ER" (households: 10.2/17, #3; adults 18-49: 6.7, #1). |
The recording got cut off towards the end of this ep. Can somebody tell me what if anything happened after the Nurse told Michael to get his foot out of the Catscan machine?

I can't remember if this came before or after the CAT Scan, but Jim called Pam ("Dunder Mifflin, this is Pam" "Dunder Mifflin, this is Jim!") to let her know that Dwight would be OK. While Pam was on the phone with Jim, the blonde chick who likes Dwight was trying to eavesdrop. So when Pam got off the phone, she told Oscar (loudly enough that the blonde chick could hear) that Dwight would be OK, which was a nice way for Pam to give her the info without embarassing her by acknowledging that Pam knows about her feelings for Dwight.
