Great ending.

The brief Stanley snippets are always great and this was no exception.

Yes sir--thank God it was NBC fucking up this time, and not the horrible NBC affiliate here.

My HD feed did the same thing.

Extremely funny episode.

Part of me wishes they did not go for that Chunky joke and just kept it with the great emotions.

This was one of the best Office episodes ever. Touching, funny, and all of the other things that make this TV's greatest current comedy were present. It's no surprise that Joss Whedon directed it.

I had the problem, too; it seems to be an ongoing trend with NBC's high-def programming. I can't watch one program without a quick blackout or the annoying-as-hell HD/SD switching.

I also had the HD problem.

They also seem really good at waiting 2-3 seconds after a commercial break to bring the audio. Especially during Heroes.

Anyone else catch that Creed called Merideth "Mary Beth".

Wasn't she the one he introduced himself to a few episodes back as if they'd never met?

I was really expecting that Halpert would show up at the Art Show. I guess they didn't want to do that as it would be to obvious and cliche.

I agree completely.

This definately ranks in my Top 5 eps. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me want to watch it over and over again.

Jim's "transformation" had me rolling... especially with the 'cold garlic bread.'

Went bad for me too, (Minnesota with a ND signal), but last week it was broadcast in standard the whole episode, so at least it was better part of the time this week.

Liked this episode much more than the past two.

Man, Pam standing there in fron of her little exhibit was probably the saddest and most pitiful thing I've ever seen. I really felt bad for her.

I'm still trying to figure out if Roy is sincere or feigning interest in order to win Pam back. I'm leaning toward the latter.

For the record, a bat got indoors at a place I used to work one time. It was flying up and down a really long hallway, and eventually it was became so worn out and was flapping so slowly I could have probably swatted it out of the air. Of course all the women at work freaked out (sorry ladies, but they did) and screamed and ran; the exact behavior and motion that drew the bat right to them. I yelled to them to just stop and stand still and its echolocation would see them as "objects" and it would fly right around them. Of course they didn't listen and it "chased" them until they holed up in a closet. It headed back toward me and I stood rock still, and sure enough, it totally ignored me and flew past, into another section of the building. Just some advice for the next time a bat gets in anyone's office.

I thought he made that abundantly clear when he was leaving saying, "I looked at every exhibit there. It's okay for me to leave now, right?"

I guess since Ryan's moving to the back that opens up a spot for Andy to sit up front with Jim and Dwight. I wonder if Jim will take his old desk back.

Yeah, you're probably right, but you could also look at it as he's just socially awkward and really out of his element at something like an art show.

The HD affiliate did the same thing here.


Great episode. One of the best of the season. Ryan's been a jerk all year, so I'm glad Michael put him in his place.

great episode, Jim and Dwight are awesome every time they are together its gold, The vampire stuff was so funny. The bat stuff was fantastic. Loved the end with Pam and Micheal. One thing that bugged me is that Jim didnt atleast stop by to see her art. And was kind of mad to see pam and Roy together again but then again you can tell that Pam isnt in love with him anymore.

Tons of great lines tonight. Gotta go watch it again. one of the best office episodes
