The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 1" -- 2/5/09

Photobucket



Synopsis:

Spoiler:


Part 1 of 2. With Pam as his driver, Michael goes on a speaking tour to other Dunder-Mifflin branches to share insight about Scranton's relative success. At the office, Dwight and Jim fumble as new party planners when they forget a birthday. And Andy looks for love in all the wrong places.

That Michael storyline has the potential of being really cringe-worthy. Here's hoping he doesn't go too overboard.

Just the idea of Dwight and Jim being in that role has me cracking up.

Andy dancing around in the parking lot reminded me of Michael Palin's leper character in Life of Brian.

Alms for an ex-leper?

I loved Dwight's line about his feeling's repairing twice as fast as a normal man's.

Now that's more like it. I thought the Super Bowl episode was weak, but this was classic almost Season 2 level quality. Yeah, Michael made me cringe but in a good way. And he had that nice moment at the end in the car with Pam that humanized him.

The only thing missing was Michael playing "Simply the Best" on a boombox at the lecture. If you've seen the UK Office, you'll know what I'm referencing.

great line

ok episode (or half of episode that is), one of the weaker ones in an almost flawless season

by the way I noticed the episode that followed the SB last week made a point of having much of the supporting cast in the opening credits, was kind of disappointed that they didn't continue with that opening

The ending with Creed got the biggest laugh of the night from me.

Michael really made things awkward with the Karen/Pam reunion. Great episode.

Excellent... but odd seeing "to be continued" on an Office episode.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 1" -- 2/5/09

Now THAT was an Office episode.

After last week's "meh" outing, this one was pretty much gold from start to finish. Jim and Dwight as the party planners, Kelly calling Dwight a "beefer" (I think...I rewound it twice and it just makes me laugh), Jim's phone call to Dwight about Kelly's age, Michaels terrible and offensive lectures...CLASSIC Office.

It wasn't an epic episode but it was definitely one of the strongest offerings in a long time.

And Creed's $3 bill at the end totally killed me.

Re: The Office -- "Lecture Circuit Part 1" -- 2/5/09

I knew I was going to miss this one tonight because of work stuff, so I was hoping for a repeat, given the SB episode. Dang it...

Hard to tell whether I would have liked it, since (as per typical of the weekly Office thread) some people say it was one of the best episodes of the season, while others say it was one of the weakest. The truth is probably somewhere in between, I suppose.
