I really liked this one. Good plots all around, but yeah, too bad there was no Jerry. And no Donna either if I remember right. Would like to see more of her in some actual storylines. She seems to be like Creed these days, showing up at random places or having one or two lines.

"To be perfectly honest, Mouserat's music is not my thing. I really only listen to like German death reggae, Halloween sound effects from the 1950s, and Bette Midler. Obviously."
Donna was impressed when Chris wore the suit to the office.
It seems like their best writers are doing other projects and you have new people writing the episodes.

Also it seems like infinite make-up is being applied to Aubrey Plaza these days. Which wouldn't really mesh with her character, but hey she looks good.

Is it me, or are they allowing more naughty words in shows - just used in a slightly different context to make it seem harmless?
I've heard people being referred to as "dicks" more and more on network TV shows - instead of a reference to someone's penis. Also when Mona Lisa said "it's the tits" - I guess it's allowable when not referred to as breasts?

I almost, almost wonder based on no renewal yet and the feel of this episode if the people behind P&R are ready for it to wrap and they're intending for it to end with no big whoop.

It's getting renewed. It might be the only 30 minute sitcom to get renewed, but NBC will renew it.

yeah, I don't see NBC losing The Office this year, then cancelling P&R. It'll definitely take over the Office spot next year.
