The Office *S5 Premiere* -- "Weight Loss" -- 09/25/08
 

"Weight Loss"

Originally Aired: September 25, 2008

I have literally spent the last 3+ months watching seasons 1-4 on DVD and having 3-3:30am marathons Monday-Friday catching up.

I am now ready to watch this live. I am an official new Office fan. I can't believe I missed out on this show for so long.

Glad to see another fan on board! I have spent all summer (countless hours) watching the dvds time and again, commentaries, deleted scenes, etc. waiting for this day. 8 pm can't come any sooner!

A spoiler about how the show is supposedly structured for tonight:

The best TV night of the year has arrived. I will have watched it twice before the night is over.

Glad to have it back.

I kept meaning to watch the webisodes (man, do I hate that word) over the summer, but kept forgetting. I think I'll watch them all this evening.

AH! FINALLY!

I've been waiting all summer. Enjoyed the little minisodes on NBC.com over the summer. I was tempted to watch it on Amazon earlier this week for free but held off. 9pm can't comne soon enough!

YES!!!!!!!

It's been soooooo long. (That's what She Said!)

The funniest show on TV is back.

Finally.

Hell yeah.

Is this going to be an hour long ep or just 30 min

Hour.

50 bucks says Michael makes a comment about his goatee within the first 2 minutes of the episode... hell, first 30 seconds. hahaha.

Love this show, cannot wait.

Here's a bunch of videos of cast members talking with Kristen of E! Online:

I loves me some Kelly Kapoor. :banana:

"What is wrong with this woman? She's asking about stuff that's nobody's business. "What do I do?"... Really, what do I do here? I should've written it down. "Qua" something, uh... qua... quar... quibo, qual...quir-quabity. Quabity assuance! No. No, no, no, no, but I'm getting close."

Best. Show. Ever.

Alright everybody, best dundies ever!

No?... Nothing?

rotfl @ stanley

so, jim finally proposed (at a gas station in the rain no less)

Fantastic! Glad to have The Office back!

I laughed. I cried. I LOVED IT!

Awesome episode.

TOBY! rotfl

"Do you think I'm retarded?":lol:

Ryan's return was great as well

Great episode. Much better than the one hour shows from last year. The right amount of humor and sweetness.

That's the way to have a double-sized premiere episode, NBC. Get that out to other shows ASAP.

I'm glad they avoided the temptation to make two thirty minute episodes to pass off as an hour long. That was the only real weakness of last year IMHO.

Well done, Office crew.
