FINALLY, the stupid co-manager storyline is dead. About fucking time.

Loved Andy's horrified reaction to the thought of sex with Meredith.

Erin seems to be embracing the role of Michael's assistant (enabler?) with far more enthusiasm than Pam ever did.

I really enjoyed this episode again. Maybe this "reboot" is exactly what The Office needs--to get back to the way things were so the show can get back to its roots. Anyway, good, funny show, I thought.

Predicted many episodes ago that Jim would go back to sales. Now, if I could only master the search function and find my prediction.

Well douchebag might have been the wrong word to use.
I do think he's a huge idiot though - in most cases too stupid to be funny.

I think you kind of missed the joke. It wasn't that he didn't know about the movie "Saw", it was that he heard "seesaw" and that's what he thought Ryan was talking about. Once Ryan got him thinking about the movie, Dwight mentioned things from the plot (like cutting off one's own foot), showing that he definitely saw... "Saw"

did this show get back to being good again, or what? last episode I saw was the one before it went off air for the holidays. Read the multitude of complaints that the one after that was a clip show masquerading as a new episode so kinda just gave up.

I always hated new characters on sitcoms which is why this bothered me.

The Andy glance to Erin and returned gleeful look back from the "good crotch" comment and then cut to dogs sniffing Andy's crotch was comedy gold! Could someone post a .gif of those 2-3 seconds?

This show had so much comedy packed into it, I almost never stopped laughing.

It better not be another damn clip show. Between the long break followed a clip show and Kathy Bates riding in on her shark for everyone to jump over, this show is losing the magic it had.

You have no clue on how to have a TV discussion so forget it.

Are there TV discussion guidelines anywhere you can link to?

Are you talking about Erin as a character or the actress (Ellie Kemper) that portrays her?

I don't think it was ever explained where she came from. She just showed up one episode as the new receptionist.

It's a good thing I'm not as inquisitive as you when it comes to new hires coming into my workplace.
