The Office

[Hyphnip]

I never go to the official website. I mute commercials abou tthe show (and look away from the screen) and don't read the write up in the paper or on my digital cable guide. I like to be surprized

[Matt]

Ah, I've seen some previews for the next show and it looks delightful.

[Hyphnip]

I just find it's more fun to not know anything. all I know is that its a new episode.

Pam and Roy are done. Karen is really working at driving Jim off. Dwight looking over the house was hilarious. The whole episode was AMAZING!

[Matt]

Okay, it's been half an hour since I watched the episode...

 

SPOILER (Highlight to View)

Did Roy trash the bar? Seriously, I'm in shock.

 

Paul Liberstein (He's an (executive) producer on King of The Hill and co-producer on The Office. Plus he plays Toby) wrote tonight's episode and JJ Abrams (Creator of Alias/Lost and directed Mission Impossible III) directed it. Also, The Office is going into re-runs for the next little while, probably because of American Idol, I'm guessing, because it's now on Thursdays too. I think this sucks, why can't people stop watching the Idol so that TV can stop being planned around it?

Anyways, it was a great episode, I was in shock, I was laughing un-controlably, I was shocked, it was great. I can't wait to see what happens between Jim and Roy...

The funniest part was at the end when Dwight pops up from the back of the car.

[Matt]

It was definitely amusing, but I think at that point I was in shock... I didn't expect things to go down like they did tonight. If anything I expected the reverse. Good on the writers, eh?

[Matt]

Anyone know when there will be new episodes by any chance?

 

Edit: Also, I am sure many of you are aware that Rainn Wilson was on SNL last week, and they did an Office parody, here's a link to it http://www.fanpop.com/spots/the-office-%25...529/links/18767.

 

Also I like Karen's cameo in the scene.

that was fantastic.

[marx marvelous]

I downloaded the episode of SNL... don't get me wrong, Rainn is great, but it was just like almost every other SNL--funny monologue and then sketches that run too long and sound like they were written by high schoolers.

[matrix]

Did you all know that Karen is Quincy Jones' daughter? I just found that out.

[Matt]

Yes.

 

As for SNL, I didn't see the rest of it, just the monlouge and the business meeting with the Arcade Fire in it. But I do agree that most of their sketches run on too long these days. But what do you expect from a show that's over twenty-five years old and lost most of its good cast a long time ago and never replaced them with anyone all that notable?

[Hyphnip]

I'm going to download that whole episode.

I missed everything except for Arcade Fires second song (which was AWESOME!) so I want to see the rest of the show.

"Oh, hey Karen.

... Okay, that was weird"

[Crusader]

are you going to the afterparty?

no.

[Matt]

I like the intro to the Karen Part

 

Rainn: Very weird deja vu kind have thing happening.

Karen: Hey Dwight

Rainn: Oh, hey Karen... Okay that's weird.

 

How do you find the entire episode anyways? I don't have a download program.

[Hyphnip]

it just shows you though. that girl that was "Pam" just can't pull off the cute yet homely recptionist like Jenna.

[Matt]

Lorne did a good Michael, and the Jim character worked well too. Keenan did a good Stanley, his voice just wasn't quite right.

 

But how do you find the entire show without a downloading program?

[Hyphnip]

I don't think you can at this point. not until NBC inks a deal with Youtube (since ABC backed out, it's anybodys ball game)

I think SNL's cast is very talented and did a great job with the impressions, it's just that the writing is worse than awful.

[Hyphnip]

sometimes yeah. though sometimes it's alright

[Hyphnip]

*sigh*

;)

[Matt]

We need more new episodes of The Office, I have no clue how long the hiatus will be for though.

[Hyphnip]

me neither. I'm also sad about Heroes being off for a few weeks too

[Matt]

I was reading on one of the news sites entertainment sections or entertainment news sites that apparently this has something to do with American Idol. Apparently, most of the networks decided instead of competing this year, just to run re-runs until AI is on a little less and then they will return with more new episodes. They pulled The Office for the next while apparently to save its ratings, AI won't be on much longer on thursdays, so it will return sometime after AI is not running on thurdays. But I hear it may not return right away either.

[Hyphnip]

I'd be mad
