The Office -- "Dream Team/The Michael Scott Paper Company" -- 04/09/09
2 episodes tonight, but the scheduling is a little wacky because NBC is using "Dream Team" episode as a lead-in for Parks and Recreation.
Dream Team synopsis (airs at 8pm):
Spoiler:
The Michael Scott Paper Company synopsis (airs at 9pm: usual time):
Spoiler:
So if you don't plan to watch Parks and Recreation and don't watch 30 Rock, set your DVR's accordingly.

No offense, but wouldn't your DVR automatically skip it if it wasn't The Office? Not sure how non-TiVo's work, but a DVR should certainly tell you that you were scheduling incorrectly somehow, no?

It figures that the first night they're airing two episodes is the night I have to work until 9pm. I'll have to catch them tomorrow on MySpace.

It's called tent-polling, when you shove a show that likely won't draw an audience between two popular shows.

So any word on who the Dream Team is? I know Ryan was in the previews, but...

Very smart programming. Something you'd expect anyone would call a no-brainer except NBC execs.

The second episode was better than the first. The beginning with Michael pulling up listening to Lady GaGa then going 'it's Britney, bitch', to trying to parallel park in a huge spot and hitting the car and driving off to squeeze into a spot and having to climb out b/c he couldn't open his door(phew), was one of the best openings in awhile.

I liked the 2nd more than the first. New intro was 
The song = awesome.
That rundown is going to sink Jim. I think he's gonna end up at Michael's company.

I think it's more that Jim was asked for the rundown so they could divvy up his clients and fire his butt. Not doing the rundown might actually delay his departure slightly. I think it's obvious that he's not going to work out as long as Charles is there, though
