The Office is back on NBC!

[Phokus]

I laughed at the video camera pointing to the bed and both jan and michael were both rushing to hide it :laugh:

 

[chuckywang]

That episode was pure pure ownage. It has been awhile since a TV episode has been so awesome.

Brilliant, brilliant episode. What a great show. 30 Rock was good too, but not nearly as good IMO.

The writers are amazing. So much uncomfortable-ness packed into one show.

I was drinking some iced tea when he finished that line... and the iced tea almost came up through my nose.

And when Jan said the food needed to braise for 3 more hours, the look that Jim and Pam gave eachother was perfect.

Holy crapoli, it's April already. I kept thinking The Office debut was a ways off still.

Guess I'll have to hit up the NBC website, what with my lack of tv and all.

[Al Neri]

I honestly can't see how anyone could like the show as a whole and dislike that episode. It was amazing IMO.

 

[Kirby]

Great episode! :thumbsup:

 

[ViperVin2]

haha that was a great episode, so glad the show is back

 

[ChaoZ]

The camera in the bedroom was the luls. You could just feel the awkwardness in this whole episode, it was brilliant.

 

[MrPickins]

The episode was pretty good, but it didn't feel right without a "B" storyline going on at the same time as the dinner party.

 

[spittledip]

There were some funny moments, but overall it was lacking.

It's a lot uncomfortable to me - never understood why this is so popular.

The look on Jim's face when he leans out of Jan's workspace trying to get some air is priceless. Great episode, I'm glad it's back on.

 

[spittledip]

I found that most of the jokes were kinda forced and cheap. Like the camera in the bedroom.

The style of humor appeals to some people, doesn't appeal to others. One of the "uncofortable" moments was when Jan made the comment about not being able to get ahold of Michael, then Angela commented about Pam withholding faxes while she was sitting right next to her. I laughed out loud at the look on Pam's face and her reaction in the bathroom afterward.

It's funny though because in a previous episode Michael said that Jan tapes it so she can critique Michael in bed and so she can show her psychiatrist the videos.

Not saying there are no funny moments but, for me, the general awkwardness overrides any good times. I watched tonight until the scene with the couple arriving for dinner and the forced conversation by the manager.

Anybody here remember "Mary Hartman" - she should have just ended it...

I take it you don't watch the show often (since you don't seem to know their names)? It's certainly a different type of comedy than what you find on other shows. Knowing the characters' personalities would help I'm sure.

I'm a huge fan of The Office but found this episode kind of lame. It was the same joke over and over--Jan and Michael fighting and everyone else staring awkwardly. I also didn't like how none of it actually took place in the office, except for the beginning minute (which may have been the best part).

Exactly. You have to know the characters to really get the humor in the show. I tried watching a few random episodes on tv a while back and never got into it. I never found it funny. I had to watch the show from the beginning and now I love it.
