bob_barron Posted February 14, 2006 Report Posted February 14, 2006 That had to be one of the best episodes ever. Michael's movie had me in stitches. Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Posted February 19, 2006 "Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the creators of The Office, will hop across the pond to work on their show's American counterpart. Mr. Gervais and Mr. Merchant will write an episode of NBC's version of The Office sometime next season, NBC tells Zap2it.com. Reports about their involvement surfaced in the British press earlier this week. The NBC hit sitcom has been picked up for a third season of 22 episodes after the show increased its viewing figures by 67% to an average of 10 million a week. This could mean the possibility of syndication in the future, grossing billions of dollars. Gervais acts as Executive Producer on the show and has reportedly already made more from the remake than from the original. Apart from change of format deals, The Office is shown in over 80 countries making it the BBCÕs most successful comedy export of all time. "I had extended an open invitation for them to write or direct at any time, but I think they were smart to wait until we had developed our own following and our own style," says Greg Daniels, executive producer of NBC's Office. " -RickyGervais.com AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Mecha Mummy Posted February 20, 2006 Report Posted February 20, 2006 Words cannot describe how excited I am for the Gervais/Merchant episode of American Office.
Downhome Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Am I the only one here who wouldn't be opposed to an episode of The Office where they have some sort of international paper convention in New York and five of the guys and gals from Dunder Mifflin run into their counterparts from Wernam-Hogg? They wouldn't even have to really say anything. Just something as simple of them passing, all saying hi to one another, like in Shaun of the Dead would be great to me.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Posted February 21, 2006 Words cannot describe how excited I am for the Gervais/Merchant episode of American Office. Agreed. Agreed. Agreed.

They wouldn't even have to really say anything. Just something as simple of them passing, all saying hi to one another, like in Shaun of the Dead would be great to me. Given the Conan cameo on the last new episode, I wouldn't be surprised if they did just that.
A Happy Medium Posted February 23, 2006 Report Posted February 23, 2006 I miss The Office. This is the second straight week I am without it.
Robert Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 I've started to actually talked about The Office at work, and I'm starting to miss it. In my latest Entertainment Weekly which had Carell on the cover, and nice article on the show. The first episode when the show comes back is that Dwight has to make a pretty big speech, and Michael is his coach. Some cool photos too, and the chick who plays Pam is cute in that "good looking co-worker who'd you would never hit unless your both drunk" kinda way. When does Season 2 come out on DVD?
EricMM Posted February 24, 2006 Report Posted February 24, 2006 It's been bumped for the Olympics, right? I can never remember what network it's on, so it's always a mad dash at 9 on thursdays...
The Mandarin Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Some cool photos too, and the chick who plays Pam is cute in that "good looking co-worker who'd you would never hit unless your both drunk" kinda way. Pam is rrowrr, especially in the Stuff magazine photos. I think she's above average and better looking than the typical office stereotype.
starvenger Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Nothing on the Stuff website just yet. But if she was in Stuff, this would definitely add her to the "didn't expect to see her in a photo spread" file beside Rachael Ray...
treble Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 It's on at 8:30 tonight on Global, for some reason. I guess because Skating with Celebrities finale is tomorrow. Fine with me.
The Electrifyer Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 A new episode of Lost and The Office on the same day? It's like its Christmas!
bob_barron Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Solid episode tonight. Not spoiling anything but the Dwight-Michael stuff is really funny,
C Dubya 04 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Wait, did they change nights? I didn't miss a week did I?????????
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 2, 2006 Report Posted March 2, 2006 Damn you Global! They kept advertising that Earl was airing on a special night with no mention of the Office and I didn't know what was happening. I checked NBC's website and it said they were airing the shows on Thursday, so I figured I'd set my VCR for that day so I could watch both shows at once. Had I known I could have just done that last night, I would have.
Ravenbomb Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Dwight's speech to the office was fantastic "Do we know anyone who was in the accident?" "...Brad Pitt. Also, there will be no bonuses."
treble Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Pam looking at the camera after Angela's 'THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU DWIGHT!' was a nice touch.
Hank Kingsley Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Posted March 3, 2006 "I always set the air conditioner to 69 degrees." *creepy smile* I love Kevin.
EricMM Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Tonights episode was good of course. I applauded at the end of the speech.
Guest StylesMark Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Ryan: "I know exactly what I said."
Spaceman Spiff Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Michael: "What's the difference between salesMEN, and salesWOMEN?" Dwight: "Vaginas!"
starvenger Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Tonights episode was good of course. I applauded at the end of the speech. I have no idea how they made the Hitler speech funny, but they did it...
C Dubya 04 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 I think Ryan has become my favorite role character. He does such a good job in an understated role and really plays out the "guy who hates this place" thing nicely. Dwight's look after tackling everyone in the opening was the best.
DrVenkman PhD Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 Dwight tackling Ryan was a hilarious way to start a hilarious episode. Watching this (and Earl) on tape when I got home from work really made up for a so-so episode of The Colbert Report (especially compared to Wednesday's).

He does such a good job in an understated role and really plays out the "guy who hates this place" thing nicely. Dwight's look after tackling everyone in the opening was the best. He's no Terry Tate though...
Mecha Mummy Posted March 3, 2006 Report Posted March 3, 2006 My favorite part was Creed giving a shoutout in Chinese. Creed is slowly but surely becoming my favorite minor character on The Office.
