The Morning After: It's Like Eating a Hot Circle of Garbage

The Bee Movie ads were sponsored by Ford. Ads sponsored by ads! Is that meta or just stupid?

I really enjoyed the Office last night, lots of classic moments. I look forward to this show ALL WEEK. Hmm, best moments. . . LOVED Dwight vs the machine and the related IM prank by PB&J. Loved Michael's reaction when he realized what he might have gotten himself into with the kidnapping. LOVED the kid calling Dwight 'That farmer who grows lousy weed.' Loved PB&J on the roof talking about when they started liking each other. I really appreciate how the show is handling their storyline - just letting them be in love, and focusing more on the office antics.

I will admit that the episode was, at times, a bit slow. But I really do appreciate the hour-long episodes, because the show does such a good job with running gags and momentum-building. The best hour-long episode ever was probably Benihana Christmas, and last night's episode didn't come close to that one. But still awesome. It was so funny when Jim realized that he and Michael had driven all the way down for an online party (Michael: . . .and there's even a password to get in. . . Jim: . . . does the address start with www?). OH, and Ryan - WTF? It sounds like he has taken leadership lessons straight from Michael Scott (Great Scott Productions, a Michael Scott Joint). He is really cracking me up this season, he spent so much time hating dealing with Michael's ego and now his own ego has taken on ridiculously epic proportions!!!

I so totally hope that Kelly and Darrell hook up. That would be legen-(wait for it)-dary!

Totally agree that Bee Movie is looking lamer and lamer. It started looking extremely lame about the hundred thousandth time I saw a commercial for it. Seinfeld looked kinda desperate in the commercials, which makes me sad.

Ugly Betty was OK, I do dig the new beau. That Gio guy's got a spark of energy that Henry just doesn't have, because Henry's too restrained and delicate - this Gio dude challenges Betty and pushes her out of her comfort zone. In a good way. I kinda like the thought that Betty could possibly outgrow Henry like she outgrew Walter back in season 1. I'm so not crazy about the Amanda-is-the-daughter-of-Fey-Summers storyline yet, Amanda used to be my very favorite character and she is really getting on my nerves this season. Glad Papa Suarez is home safe and sound, that was another storyline that was starting to get old. Lots of the characters seem to be stuck in ruts right now, and I want them all to get their groove back.

Can't wait to get home and watch Supernatural!!!

Sometimes The Office just wears on you and last night was the night it did for me -- I was checking the clock at 9:19. The writers took Michael too far (and for too long, until he realized that he as committing a felony much later than he should have). Andy's pursuit of Angela was also somewhat creepy for the show. Maybe a line from Creed would have fixed that this week? I feel empty.

I will never refuse an extra, free pizza, but what if that extra, free pizza is a hot circle of garbage?

Awesome 30 Rock last night -- I'd argue that it was a funnier episode than The Office was... Will Arnett and Rip Torn are fine guest stars, but even without them, this show is firing on all cylinders right now. Hope it's grabbing a few more sets of eyes; I wouldn't want it to follow the fate of our dear departed Arrested Development.

Why didn't they spread the hour long offices out over the season rather than 1-2-3-4. They should be specials. I like the episodes but agree they are ramping up the fatigue level. Leave us wanting more not less.....one of the golden rules of entertainment!!!!!

Will Arnet simply rulz!

Did I blow your mind?

You would have if I had read it.

I have never wanted to see Bee Movie. It looks awful.

So far my favorite part of last night's Office was Pam's computer IMs admitting defeat to Dwight.

@Shara. Your verbosity and HIMYM reference have left me completely smitten. You rock.

As far as The Office, James you're right about the Michael storyline, I felt the same way that it came from a much more realistic place.

I love that Pam is, at heart, a softy and tried to make Dwight feel better as soon as Jim left.

I loved Andy's deep breaths each time Jim mocked him. How's that anger management going buddy?

New York style sushi? I'll have to try that...
