Re: *** The Office: Season 5 ***

30 Rock consistently gets more laughs from me, but that's just the show's style... tons of rapid-fire jokes, references, and physical comedy one after another. Great stuff.

And yeah, I was lukewarm on this one after the first viewing. The dramatic elements were there, but I didn't laugh so much as cringe through Michael's presentation and whatnot. The office plot was kinda flat for me, though Kevin's face as he watched Angela on the monitor was great. A little too off-the-wall (especially the hairball), but I guess if Angela paid $7K for a cat, she is the type to go all-out hah. Kelly was kinda endearing/cute this episode for some reason.. I normally don't like her much.

I'll watch it again and probably have a better idea of my feeling on it. Pam trying to run the presentation was funny, "I have a chainsaw! Rnrnrnrnrrrr... rnrnr.."

I enjoyed it. They really kept me interested with Michael and Holly.

How could you not laugh when Michael sat down in the middle of his business presentation... or when he asked, "Does she mention me? Does she ever mention Michael Scott?" LOL

Still, 30 Rock, once again, was the better show last night. They are just on fire!

Minus the 30 Rock comment (never really watched it), I totally agree.

Michael's stupidity and emotional infancy really got on my nerves. The whole Angela cat thing just wasn't that funny. Kelly's whining and birthday party in general was less funny. Sometimes Office misses big time-this was one of those times.

It's a forum. We have nothing personal against the actors or the writers. Sheesh.

Re: *** The Office: Season 5 ***

So apparently there are no new episodes until March 5?

And according to Wikipedia, the episode scheduled to air on March 5 is the Valentine's Day episode. Wierd...

Yep, kind of a bummer. But the good news is that this season actually ends up with 29 half-hours of the show (counting hour-long episodes as 2), so we'll finally have a full season for the first time in a long time. Also, Idris Elba will be joining the cast as Jan/Ryan's replacement, which should provide loads of awkward Michael-talking-to-black-guy scenes.

I hope the awkward scenes are more funny and less sad....I dunno, Michael at Holly's office wasn't hilarious to me...

Same here. The only funny thing about that sequence to me was Pam trying to do the rest of Michael's "presentation."

Exactly! That was funny awkward. Michael breaking down wasn't "funny Michael" at all... Lately I find myself wincing a lot more while I watch, I didn't used to do that...

Yeah, I wasn't feeling the last 2 episodes. Too many akward moments in there.

I do get a chuckle out of the bday sign "It is your birthday"

It's a statement of fact.
