The Office - season 6

The last few minutes were classic Office.  The lies, the pregancy discussion, the interns.  Great stuff.

Yeah I thought this was one of the better episodes I've seen in a while.

I liked Andy's relief that the rumor of him being gay wasn't true.

Stellar episode and a great way to kick off the season.  The parkour intro had my wife and I in stitches.

Anyone recognize Parker from Desperate Housewives as one of the interns?  Or perhaps it's the other one.

Poopball 

Defintely a great start to the season.  LOL'd the entire episode.  Andy's rumor was just too hilarious.

Parkour!!!!

Terrific premiere.

Best season premiere the show's had in a few years now. Seemed like a return to old form in many ways......very promising.

With Buffalo shut down, Dunder Mifflin is down to what -- seven branches? Akron OH, Albany NY, Camden NJ, Nashua NH, Scranton, Utica NY, and Yonkers right?

Nerd alert! 

Classic Michael in this episode - I completely cringed during the opening when he pulls Oscar into his office...  The whole "Cheese Cart" ruse was brilliant (especially Andy's spiel) and Michael's constant "deer in the headlights" look, whenever he was stuck between Jim and the guy from Corporate.

It was nice to see Toby do a bit more, and hey, was that a Creed sighting?

What is funny is that Michael is right. I don't think Jim will be good in a managerial position. Remember the episode where he was in charge when Michael was away and everything went to hell?

Not sure that that is accurate in an office that has Michael Scott as a manager.

I don't recall the specific episode that Kevin is referring to but I think Jim has shown that when he tries, he can be a solid employee. Now that he's got a house to pay for and a kid on the way, he has the proper motivation to do the job correctly and take it seriously. Since it's a comedy, I assume he'll also continue to bust Dwight's chops as well.

Dwight's reaction was classic.

I think the episode you're talking about is the one where Jim decides to celebrate everyone's birthday at the same time? At the end Michael tells him how he made the same mistake, it was a learning experience. Jim has always been depicted as someone with a strong future in management.

Yeah, I've seen comments elsewhere suggesting that Jim might not be a good manager. While I think he some learning to do, let's not forget that in the more serious Stamford branch, Jim rose in the ranks quite well.

One of the few "event" episodes that really held up for me. I was practically on the floor with the chain-reaction pukefest in the cold open, and there were lots of great laughs spread throughout the rest of the episode too. One of the funniest and one of the most touching episodes of the series. Still can't believe Michael slept with Pam's mom.

Great episode.  Really excellent all around.

Michael slept with Pam's mom? I must have missed a scene.

This was truly a great episode. Too many highlights to go over. Everyone in this great cast got a moment to shine.

Oh yeah, I am never getting ice from a hotel bin again!

Funniest show I've watched in a long time.
Every scene had me laughing out loud.
Creed eating his Lo Mein.
Andy ripping his scrotum.
Kevin wearing the tissue boxes.
Toby being hopeful there wasn't going to be a wedding.
Dwight kicking the maid of honor in the face.
Memaw.

Who is the blonde girl who played Pam's sister...so familiar..

^She was on True Blood this season.

YES! The preacher's hot wife!
Thanks Zack!!

It was the very last beat of the episode, as the credits were rolling. The scene primarily tracks Kevin sticking his formally tissue-box-clad feet into the ice machine that Michael used as urinal, but then the camera pulls out of the vending room and lingers at a point down the hall where we see Pam's mom drag Michael into her room by his tie.

The wedding dance number was about the least funny thing I've ever seen on the show. Based on the dialogue, it was a nod to a You Tube video but I don't watch crap like that so it was a joke that completely missed me. What's worse is how poorly such a big event in the course of the series will age.

The youtube video was a huge viral hit (as big as those things can get) so not seeing would change the dynamic of the scene. I assume the writers thought most of the show's audience had seen the video.

yes it will age. But they know that. It's tacky now. It's cheesy now. It's hopelessly dated with its song, but that's part of it all.

I'm sure most of the audience has seen that video and it makes sense that the Dunder Mifflin employees would have forwarded it to each other too and would all be familiar with it. I'm just out of the You Tube viral video loop.

I didn't see the video either, and so didn't really get the joke, but in the end I don't think it matters, snice that wasn't their "real" wedding. The shots with them on the Maid of the Mist were the real wedding, and both actors did a tremendous job with it.

EDIT: Found the original:
