Review: The Office - Double Date

06 Nov 2009 06:01:00 PST

Written by Joel Keller
Michael Scott is always funnier when he produces cringe-worthy moments via his cluelessness. Cruelty just doesn't suit him well, and the only time it really works for him is when he's dressing down Dwight. What I was expecting to see during his and Helaine's double date with Pam and Jim was s...

“The Lover” Review

28 Oct 2009 17:51:08 PDT

Written by nette
Poor Pam. As if she didn’t have enough going on in her life, now Michael wants to be her father. Ah, that conference room scene. When Pam stood up and started chanting, “No more meetings,” I just about died. Because there was Stanley in the background, looking happier than that man has looked sin...

Opinion: The Office - "The Lover"

22 Oct 2009 19:19:52 PDT

Written by Myles
What makes this episode work, in the end, is that it’s more about Michael Scott’s quest for happiness than it is about Pam’s reaction to the news of Michael and her mother dating, but what keeps it from really working is that we’re really only given Pam’s side of the story. Ultimately, I felt f...

“Gossip” Review

24 Sep 2009 10:15:34 PDT

Written by nette
Leave it to Michael, in his quest to spread a bunch of untrue rumors, to pull out of his butt, the one thing that happens to be true. And this is what I knew would happen. Frankly, I’m surprised Michael hasn’t mentioned it, or at least alluded to it in some bizarre fashion, before this. But on this e...

When The Office premiered last year, it was with an hour-long episode which broke a number of rules in terms of pacing and everything else. That was an episode that was about establishing a relationship between Michael and Holly, and about emphasizing the impact of Michael and Pam’s time a...

Opinion: Should you watch NBC’s Community tonight?

17 Sep 2009 06:00:34 PDT

Written by Heather Salerno
Community’s a quirky little comedy that fits right in amongst NBC’s other Thursday night quirkfests: The Office and 30 Rock. (Sorry, I can’t muster up much enthusiasm for Parks and Recreation – at least not based on last season’s lackluster laughs.) Photo courtesy of NBC)

Opinion: The Office finale recap: Company Picnic

14 May 2009 20:00:43 PDT

Written by Brian Howard
The Office writers gave us a lot of ammunition to really unload a heap of criticism on them with that finale. By the way, I loved Angela correcting Kevin on the score after he muffed a return. “Is that too much accounting for you?” Oscar breaking up a lingering man-hug between Jim and Dwight was...

That said, flowing together was what I was aiming for when I employed my DVR to watch The Office installments back-to-back, hour-long-style. Where “Dream Team” jumped off the screen with a new kind of Office vibe and lots of yuks throughout, “Michael Scott Paper Company” dragged a little...

Opinion: The Office - "Stress Relief"

Second, I don’t like hour long episode of The Office: they are often overblown, and rarely is there enough comedy to justify the longer running time. Combine with the always frustrating reality that they will eventually be split into two parts in syndication, so they’re forced to split in...

06.00 Dexter 07.00 Friday Night Lights 08.00 Burn Notice 09.00 The Venture Bros. 09.30 Rising Damp 10.00 The Office 10.30 Corner Gas Rising Damp. Season 2, Episode 7. "Things That Go Bump in the Night" Much more over-the-top than your typical Rising Damp episode. But still very funny. The Office. Season 5, Episode 10. "Moroccan Christmas" Dwight buys up all the dolls of a particular brand to make a financial killing when all the parents come looking to buy them. Meanwhile, the gang (well, mostly just Michael) decide to have an intervention to stop Meredith from drinking so much. Even the fact that everyone finds out about Angela cheating on Andy is handled in blah fashion.

Dexter. Season 2, Episode 11. "Left Turn Ahead" A melancholy and unsatisfying episode of Showtime's drama about a likable serial killer. A hit-man calls Michael and offers him a hit! So, rather than having a client from the start, Michael is 'working for' the bad guy. So he has to find a way to save the target, without tipping off the hit-man (Tim Matheson, who also directed the episode). The Office. Season 5, Episode 9. "The Surplus" Hilarious. There's a surplus in the budget and Michael doesn't know what to do with it. From that simple idea comes another wonderful half-hour of comedy. Best bits? Pam and Jim on opposite sides. Pam fights dirty. How cute!

05.30 Dexter 06.30 Friday Night Lights 07.30 Burn Notice 08.30 Rising Damp 09.00 The Office 09.30 Corner Gas The Office. Season 5, Episode 8. "Frame Toby" I liked this episode, but a part of me is sorry to see Toby back. I mean, it's as if he was never gone and the whole (wonderful) Holly thing never happened. I loved Holly almost as much as Michael did. So, now, I think I hate Toby too. But not quite as much as Michael does. That's not humanly possible. The Jim/Pam storyline was predictable but, nonetheless, enjoyable and sweet. Michael buying grass to frame Toby (with Dwight helping him) generated all the laughs you'd expect from an episode of The Office.

There was many, many great laughs in this one. Most of the best bits came from the Kelly/Ryan hook-up. I particularly loved the shot of Darryl walking away after being dumped by Kelly (in a text message written by Ryan). What's not to love about every single development here? Ryan's closing line is a classic: I can't - for whatever reason - do better than Kelly. But the episode didn't end on a downer. There was a lovely 'twist' at the end. Dwight being there, to totally ruin the moment, made it all the more perfect. Man, when you watch The Office you are in the hands of a group of writers who really know what they are doing.

05.30 Valentine 06.30 The Middleman 07.30 Pushing Daisies 08.30 Supernatural 03.00 The Office 03.30 Corner Gas Valentine. Episode 2. "Daddy's Home" Better than the pilot. The case-of-the-week is still corny, but most of the episode is devoted to the regulars and their backstory. And a good one it is. The blood-drenched cliff-hanger (flash-forward) really shocked me, and I'll be back for more episodes. The Office. Season 5, Episode 3. "Baby Shower" Some of television's greatest-ever moments occurred towards the end of this week's episode of The Office. I honestly think that many decades from now people will still remember how they felt when Michael hugged Holly, and when Jim and Pam left messages for each other.

TheTwoCents 2007 Review - Best/Worst of TV

26 Dec 2007 13:18:00 PST

Written by KP
Our favorite TV shows of the Fall Season 2007: 1. The Office Sure, 2007 found Pam and Jim in a solid relationship but Season 4 of "The Office" was a little off its game. The fans thought it wasn't up to the level that Season 3 had. All that being said, the strike shortened season of The Office was still much better than most other programs on television. 2. Pushing Daisies 3. Chuck 4. House 5. How I Met Your Mother Honorable Mentions: Heroes, Reaper 2. Big Shots 3. Cavemen 4. K-Ville 5. Bionic Woman Dis-Honorable Mention: Big Bang Theory, Moonlight, Most Reality Shows) So, what do you all think? What were your favorite/least favorite shows of 2007's Fall TV Season?

a mixed review of the new season from the LA Times

15 Oct 2007 15:17:00 PDT

THE first few episodes of the new season, though, have focused less on the reality of the show's premise and more on turning the characters into caricatures. Take, for instance, Jan's (Melora Hardin) teaching Michael (Steve Carell) the concept of "ageism" in the season's second episode....
