Craig Th Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 Fuck yeah baby. I was afraid NBC was going to give it to 30 Rock.
bob_barron Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 NBC was always going to give it to The Office. This is old news. I believe they previously thought of giving the other half hour slot to Amy Poehler's new show, but I guess they decided to give Office a full hour.

bob_barron Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Amy Poehler's new show is not an Office spin-off, though it will be produced by Greg Daniels.
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Well someone better tell wikipedia that. "The series is scheduled to premiere after Super Bowl XLIII along with a new episode of The Office." "Starring Aziz Ansari Amy Poehler Rashida Jones"
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Well someone better tell wikipedia that. "The series is scheduled to premiere after Super Bowl XLIII along with a new episode of The Office." "Starring Aziz Ansari Amy Poehler Rashida Jones" Wikipedia is wrong????? Somebody call...
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Well I assume enough people who are correct about things update it on a second to second to basis to catch things like that, ya know? What am I supposed to do, get my TV news from the Futon Critic? I can't read about the Atari Jaguar on that site.
Mik Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Michael pouring the sugar in the diet coke was the best throwaway moment of the season.
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 6, 2008 Report Posted December 6, 2008 Topping him eating the cake that Pam threw out earlier in the episode?
Craig Th Posted December 7, 2008 Author Report Posted December 7, 2008 I started coughing after a part of a bagel I was eating went down the wrong tube. I thought of Michael choking on that cake right away.
BifEverchad Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Whats the best site to catch up on Season 5 episodes?
Markme123 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Hulu or NBC.com. Justin.tv has a couple of 24/7 Office channels with every season's episodes, including the most recent one. If I ever need background noise, I click on one and listen to whatever episode it on. It's one of those shows I can watch forever.
BifEverchad Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 It's one of those shows I can watch forever. Me too.. But unfortunately NBC.com sucks unless you live in America.
chuck415 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Hulu.com shows the 5 most recent episodes.
Gary Floyd Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 poor Andy To think, two years ago, he was hated.
chuck415 Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Am I the only one that hopes Andy beats the living shit out of Dwight?
Boon Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Pretty underwhelming as far as Christmas episodes go- seemed really heavy on the Dwight talking heads. Toby buying the black doll was the highlight.
KingPK Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 "Fa la la la la la ka-ching." I didn't care much for the whole intervention subplot though. I did like Michael throwing the pen at Toby's head just because.
BifEverchad Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Hulu.com shows the 5 most recent episodes. For now, Hulu is a U.S. service only.
Lord of The Curry Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 I echo the underwhelming sentiments. Minimum Pam and Jim. Too much Phillis and Meredith stuff. Barely any Creed. Angela and Dwight being outed that way, even though it was obvious people knew felt off. Dwight stuff was funny as was Toby and the doll trying to piss off his ex.
RepoMan Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Underwhelming, maybe, but I enjoyed a little break from the Jim and Pam stuff. Toby's become my favorite character, I enjoy any episode that gives a little glimpse into his life. I hope they follow up with the black unicorn princess situation. I enjoyed the Morman alcoholic checklist. The little jokes continue to make the series for me.
bob_barron Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 This episode had me crying of laughter. The intervention thing wasn't funny per se, but it was nice seeing Michael try do the right thing in his own Michael way
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 I had a hearty laugh at the Dwight talking head about the Schrute way of taking care of things. I don't even remember what they were, but the fact he held a fist, then counted 5 items but actually ended with punching was gold. The "Are you an Alcoholic" checklist ending with the Mormon church question was great too, and Toby / Darryl's interaction was priceless. "It's... even better than what I wanted". Creed casually throwing out he would have a city permit in an hour (and piquing Dwight's interest) was the classic "Creed says one thing, and it's funny" moment. Plus the bong.
Dr. Zoidberg Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 I thought the episode was horribly unfunny. I laughed at, maybe, two things (the laundry list of drinks in Michael's concoction and the black Princess Unicorn bit), and watched in sheer boredom for the rest of the time. Phyllis' maliciousness just made me dislike her, Meredith continues to be my least favorite character, and the Jim/Pam "I knew it/No you didn't/It's Christmas/Ok. You knew it" thing was just overly cute. It's like the writers think the average viewer DOESN'T think JAM are cute, so they're saying "HEY! LOOK!! AWWWW!!! AWWWWWWW!! HOW CUTE!!! CUUUUUUTE!!" The show has gone WAAAAAAAY downhill since the writers strike, in my opinion. Does anyone know (Bob, I'm assuming you do) if the show got new writers, or is it the same troupe? Plus the bong. 'Twas a HOOKAH, my friend.

EDIT: Didn't see the good doctor's post.
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Yeah, like I'm supposed to know these things.
Dr. Zoidberg Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Hey HEY! It's not your fault, man.
DrVenkman PhD Posted December 12, 2008 Report Posted December 12, 2008 Phyllis was being a bit of a bitch.
