FTA-TV The Office (u.s)

[Ferris_rules]

Yeah I liked this one.

Poor Andy. I hope he gets Erin in the end.

Thats almost a LOCK IN.

I think though before hand we will witness a struggle, a broken heart here and there and he will get the girl in the end. This is Hollywood after all.... lol

The Office has appeared to revert back to its old true tested formula of success over the past couple of episodes and keeping the humour restricted to within the office.

A very good episode once again.
God I hate Phyllis.

2010

The Office is back.

A simple episode with a highlights real of all past episodes. Ok for nostalgia but nothing exciting or interesting about this one.

 

[Pugnosis]

All shows do a clip show at about this stage. To me it shows they are lacking ideas. Was good to see all the different events. Was Jim even in any of the 'new' parts. I think they gave him the week off!

Ricky Gervais, the British comedian who brought cringeworthy manager David Brent to life in The Office, is set to appear in the US version of the show, it is reported.

A guest slot on the NBC version of The Office is now rumoured for this season’s series of the popular show, according to a report in The Independent. Gervais’s publicist said although the appearance had not been confirmed Gervais had not "ruled out the opportunity".

Wow, that's interesting. I wonder if he will reprise his role as Brent, or play a different character.

I've also heard that Kathy Bates has been signed up for a multi-episode story arc.

PLEASE NAME THE SONG.

It was played in the lastest episode. It was from an old episode.

It was when Jim and Pam share a headset (past episode) and listen to a song on Jim's mp3 player. From memory I think it was also played during an episode when Jim and Pam stay back on the office till late on the balcony watching Dwight set of fireworks.

Thanks in advance.

They played that on ABC radio 10 times at least just while I was in the car with the olds in the two weeks after Christmas! Anyone would have thought it had just entered the public domain!

I heard it on the Office a few years back but couldnt remember which episode. Fortunately thanks to Shazam on iphone there was just enough time to tag the song, and bingo I got it.

I googled the meaning of the lyrics and it was interesting and suited the plot at the time.

Geez how loved the two of them not yet a couple, how times have changed.

Found on another site (me hearties).

Good episode, even for a clip show. Good to see some of the deleted scenes get a run too. And the song at the end was great!

 

[dont bowl there]

Yes thepiratebay normally has all the shows.

 

[KaLL]

Any thoughts on the most recent episode?

 

[Spudregus_87]

Watched it last night.

A couple of observations:

I'm missing my Creed moments

Enjoyed the fact that the episode touched on David Wallace, although he didn't really do much, I would like to see him pop up later in the series as the figure Michael was trying to force out of him.

Couple of great Jim moments with the 'infantry' joke. And his line after the Christian Slater video.

The Andy/Erin saga continues; "The ball's totally in her court" lol.

And seriously, I know he's a writer/producer, but what's the point of having Ryan still in the office? His presence annoys me.

Good episode.

 

[Alex99]

I’ve only seem small parts of the UK version so cannot comment on it but the American version is awesome. Michael Scott, Jim Halpert and Dwight K Schrute are the key characters of the show but the entire shows works because every character is fundamentally important to making it funny.

Can someone tell my why Michael Scott hates Toby so much? or is it that he is from HR (corporate) and that is the joke. Michael Scott hates him because he hates everyone from corporate to be one of the boys.

 

[Mint Condition]

I think it's basically just because Toby as the HR person is the one to derail a lot of Michael's more reckless ideas and over time it's just evolved into a fairly irrational hatred.

Kind of like how in the 1st couple of seasons Michael just seemed to want to be impressive to Ryan, but now they make it out like he's actually kind of into him or something...I think mainly because Ryan's character is really only entertaining when Michael's making him uncomfortable so they've taken it to the next extreme. Same with Toby.

 

[Alex99]

yeah ok. So I haven't missed something.

 

[MelkshamWOW]

Thought this latest episode was a good 'un, definately above average in what has been only a so-so season. I thought the whole Sab-re (haha) dynamic was funny and interesting, as were Michael's encounter with Wallace (oh how the mighty have fallen), and Jim and Pam's childcare antics.

Over the (long) uni holidays I have been watching back over the past seasons, and for me the show really started to flag in terms of quality from about halfway through the fifth season (after Moroccan Christmas and Stress Relief). Having said that, I think in terms of consistency, Season 4 is the best: almost every episode is top quality, and it contains several of my top episodes ever (Dinner Party, Money).

 

[Ledger]

Okay ep from an average season.

Didn't care for the Sabre joke, I thought it was Sabre and not Sabre(y) all along. Didn't really understand how no one else though Michael was saying it was wrong.

Child care scene was funny but Pam's direct approach was interesting. The old pammy wouldn't have dared speak up. Think we're gonna see much more of Wallace now too.

Also wtf happened to the Ryan / Dwight vs Jim thing go?

 

[Ledger]

Really enjoyed yesterday's ep.

Kathy Bates is a great inclusion into the show, really had things going on in the Office. Funny to see Michael back in sales and finding it tough although I didn't expect it to last long.

Meanwhile loved the Andy / Erin love story, when will they finally get together?!

 

[Warsaw]

Yep. It was a good 'un. Shame we have to wait 2 weeks and then get the season finale.
