yep Packer's terrible

2/26/2011 12:49:51 PM

I love the Packer character but it was a horrible idea to give him more than 30 seconds of screen time. Episode was forgettable. This season has been very impulsive.

2/26/2011 12:50:52 PM

Andy putting that ham in the CD drive had me laughing to the point that it hurt halfway through the commercial break

If Packer replaces Scott I'm sure it will only be for one or two episodes.

2/26/2011 2:06:59 PM

Packer isn't replacing Michael

yep, same thing with creed. If you gave that guy more screen time, he'd get annoying fast, but he's fucking comedy gold as is.

2/28/2011 12:56:24 PM

I don't know if I have ever laughed at something Packer has been involved in.

2/28/2011 1:13:56 PM

Andy is the new boss, IMO

2/28/2011 1:17:19 PM

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Will Ferrell

2/28/2011 1:38:23 PM

Packer is supposed to not be funny

^^ only there for 4 episodes.

"Hello everyone. I'm your new boss"

Michael's proposal this week

3/18/2011 4:56:58 PM

bump for tonight

3/24/2011 3:18:42 PM

Finally. What's it been like 6 weeks?

Lost spoiled me with the back to back to back to back to back new episodes

3/24/2011 3:38:59 PM

Spoken like a man who watched season 3 of Lost on DVD

3/24/2011 3:42:08 PM

Spoken like a true asshole

3/24/2011 3:53:20 PM

Great episode imo. Had all the classic elements and made the cheesy stuff funny office style

3/24/2011 9:38:52 PM

my favorite line was - easy no.

3/24/2011 9:43:48 PM

All of us?

3/24/2011 10:27:33 PM

oh micheal scott you made me cry...you shall be missed...

3/24/2011 10:46:25 PM

very very very good.

i could have done w/out dallas the board game, but i think the last 5 min were some of the most compelling, well-done, emotion filled moments in sitcom history. hyperbole maybe, but that sequence was just spectacular.

3/25/2011 3:24:14 AM

god this episode is hilarious.

"so i said, fuck it, i'll just sell it myself"

and the dallas boardgame is also great.

3/25/2011 9:26:06 AM

^^they need to have stuff like that in their to gradually focus on the minor characters since next season won't have a oh let's focus everyone around this central character type thing. Andy and kevin by far have the most potential, and daryll is awesome when he's criticizing the others

3/25/2011 9:57:54 AM

oh i generally love that trio, just wasnt super feeling that part.

3/25/2011 2:27:42 PM

I really liked the Dallas board game "That's Dallas".

Good episode...

3/25/2011 3:19:10 PM

Probably old, but has anyone else recognized Gabe (Zach Woods) as the zombie in the "Asian Scots on a bus" Starburst commercial?

3/25/2011 4:11:32 PM

^I actually hadn't noticed that, so new for me. Good call. He's such a flipping creeper.

3/25/2011 4:25:03 PM

"flipping"

3/25/2011 11:08:53 PM

3/26/2011 12:50:13 AM

Great episode. IMO that episode would've done fine as a series finale.

3/26/2011 8:12:26 AM

i legitimately had tears in my eyes when michael opened the door and the whole cast was standing there.


what transpired was beautiful television.

3/26/2011 4:40:44 PM

Yeah. I'm not one to get emotional with much of anything but that 5 minutes got me. That whole scene was really well done from start to finish.

3/26/2011 5:55:57 PM

i thought it was one of the lamer sitcom proposals that i've seen.

oh well.

3/26/2011 6:05:05 PM

It wasn't so much that it was a great way to propose, but it was fitting for Michael's character. And its rewarding to see him finally find someone similar to him and actually suceed at something.

3/26/2011 6:07:19 PM

I thought the last 5 minutes was really good. I am not one to get moved by anything (let alone TV) but it was a touching moment.

3/26/2011 6:52:42 PM

ha i lol'd when jim rolled out the plants

3/27/2011 1:37:36 PM

that wasn't the best proposal in the world, but that was some excellently written TV

3/27/2011 2:00:17 PM

I doesn't happen often but just watched the last episode and indeed teared up a little. As awkward as Michael always is it was nice to see him finally do something right.

3/27/2011 2:02:56 PM

yeah, explaining to piddlebug that Michael proposed in a Michael Scott fashion, but it actually worked this time was hard.


good episode, and it was interesting to find out that will ferrell is the new boss for at least 4 episodes (I hadn't read anything about the office over the past several months so I was probably the last to know)

3/27/2011 2:54:02 PM

Two of the best things this season have been the expansion of Andy and Darryl and giving Kevin more to play with. It's probably been the best Office since late 3.

3/27/2011 4:23:00 PM

Good episode, and I suppose moving in its own way, but it all seemed a bit artificial. Come to that, the whole Holly situation this season has seemed that way.

Very quick 180 from "Holly's with this other guy" to "Holly dumps the other guy and is engaged to Michael in a matter of weeks." Even quicker 180 from "Michael is going through preposterous proposal ideas to a well done, sweet one in a matter of hours."

As ridiculous as it was I kinda dug the magic beans, and Dallas wasn't that funny as it went along but it had a great payoff.

3/28/2011 12:28:51 PM

ugh. is this show still on? i thought it died along with John Krasinski's movie career.

3/28/2011 12:37:06 PM

I did not care for the proposal and the wedding episode may be my least favorite of the series.

Stop trying to make me care about your characters.

not wasting viewers time on this is part of the reason Seinfeld is the best sitcom ever

3/28/2011 3:20:48 PM

yeah, fuck character development I want catchphrases and actors constantly hamming it up.

3/28/2011 3:28:29 PM

my favorite part is when cramer falls!!!

yeah if you take it to the extreme it sounds bad, but too much character development can ruin certain types of comedy. you can't tell me season one of the office wasn't the best.

3/28/2011 3:39:28 PM

sure I can

because Season 2 wasn't only the best season of the show, it was one of the best seasons of any series ever

3/28/2011 3:47:10 PM

trying to get me to care about some generic, one-note character is far greater insult to my intelligence than asking me to laugh at a piece Michael Richard's balletic physical comedy
