The Office -- "The Search" -- 2/03/11

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Synopsis:

Spoiler:
When Jim (John Krasinski) gets an emergency phone call from Helene (guest star Linda Purl), he is forced to leave Michael (Steve Carell) in the bathroom of a gas station. Meanwhile, Holly (guest star Amy Ryan), Erin (Ellie Kemper) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) set out on a journey to find Michael. Back at the office Pam's (Jenna Fischer) artwork starts a captioning contest that seems to offend Gabe (Zach Woods).


Sounds like this could be fun.

I just learned that a friend's band, Two Hours Traffic, will be featured in this episode - strange thing is, they didn't find out until two days ago and they won't know how it is being used until they see it tonight. The name of the song is " Better Sorry Than Safe" - kind of curious myself where it might fit in.

Erin's continuing weirdness and hatred of Holly is one of the only things on the show that continually makes me laugh all the time.

Oscar's one-liner in the cold open got a good chuckle from me, "It's ok Ryan, me and the gay guys talked about it and said it's ok for you to be married."

Great ending with Holly finding Michael on the roof and Erin smiling as she see's them kissing. That was one of the great moments of the series.

I liked this episode. It wasn't necessarily great, but for some reason I liked it.

Erin's 0 to 40 hotness scale was funny.

I'm ready for the return of Toby and the exit of Holly.

I like that they didn't drag out the Holly and Michael will they/won't they thing out too long. We all knew they would get back together so it's a good thing that they didn't wait too long.

Angela's caption was funny but the episode wasn't big on laughs this week.

Twice. There's a pic of a younger, dark-haired Creed next to the "current" one.

I thought this was a great episode, a real step up from last week's letdown.

My favorite parts though were...

Ering saying, "She wandered off like an idiot" and Holly was standing like 10 feet away.

And then the caption of "Is that a palm tree, or did Gabe get skinnier? Either way, let's pee on it," followed by Angela's "Please, it was easy once I decided I wanted the dog to piss on Gabe."

I liked how when Gabe read Andy's caption it had a little blurb about being with Erin. I thought it was a pretty good overall episode, though I find Erin increasingly irritating.

That's what I thought. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be him, or not, but it certainly looked like him. I thought maybe he'd gone in disguise.

Yeah, it looks like it's young Creed on the left of old Creed.

Re: The Office -- "The Search" -- 2/03/11

I really liked this episode alot compared to last week. Some good humor and I think it had alot of the charm from older seasons of the show.

I really like Erin's quirkiness and how much she despises Holly. Liked her hotness chart for Holly...What was it a 16 out of 40?

at Michael and Creed's pictures at the Chinese restaurant. I assume that Michael is permanently banned from Mr. Choo's?

I thought the 40 point scale was funny, but the criteria even funnier. What was it, 10 for personality, 10 for personality, and 20 for ears (10 per ear). Haha. Silly, but that line got a literal LOL out of me.

Thought it was a fun episode, good humor in the office, and Holly and Michael are together. And again Jim vanishes! Apparently he's filming a movie. Continually hiding him like this is about as subtle as having a pregnant actress stand behind a counter.

I wasn't crazy about this one, but it had a few pretty funny moments.

I liked anything that wasn't Miachael and Holly in this ep. They were both borderline retarded in this one.

Good episode, I thought Micheal and Holly on the roof was a touching scene.

But I feel like they made Holly too much like Micheal just for the sake of the episode. It seemed a little too juvenile for Holly to give a stupid name at the cell phone stand just to scam a stress ball. It seems like they've been dumbing down Holly recently just to hammer home the point that she and Michael are supposed to be together.

I did like Dwight's line to Pam on the phone, something like "It's obvious I'm going to get your stupid things" and then he hangs up on her

I hated everything about this episode, and I think it's based on the fact that I really really really can't stand Michael and Holly as a couple. They really don't seem to have any chemsitry together whatsoever... it seems like a pathetic relationship based purely on awkward quips and "funny" voices... it's like two of the "WHAAZZZZUP!" guys decided to date. I hope Carrell's departure sparks some new creativity with this show, or else I'm out.
