f@#$, I forgot it was Thursday.  Good episode?

Yeah, it was awesome. I thought Scrantonicity only played Police songs?

Scrantonicity was on?!?  f@#$ f@#$ f@#$ f@#$.

I would have liked to have seen that.

Just go to that questionable site that SD hooked us up with it.  It'll prolly be up tomorrow.  I know that's what I'm doing since I didn't get home until 7:45.  I'm curious to find out how Toby got such a hot date for the wedding.

I almost spit out my beer when Ryan knocked the flowers out of the air so his girl couldn't catch them...

Photographer:  "Alright how 'bout we try just the Bride and Groom on this one.  Wait, MOm and Dad can stay.  And the sisters, and you and you and you."

Micheal left out of the photo.

I think the Michael's uncomfortable humor thing is getting too outlandish.  Tone it down.  Subtle is better.  My Opinion.

I agree. It's a funnier show when he's a member of the cast rather than the focus. They seem to be going for a more David Brent/cringe factor at times, and it doesn't work as well here.

Completely agree. I don't laugh at michael as much as the secondary characters, like creed taking the card off one of the presents, then replacing it with his card..  did we already know stanley was dating a white girl?

I liked him jumping up and down in the window, trying to see what was going on.

And then, of course, the multiple openings to his toast.  "I am Michael Scott, and for the next 40 minutes, I will be telling you ..."

He's not funny period. The whole character is over the top and whereas Brent would say something stupid and try to correct it and end up only making it worse. The Michael Scott character is just obnoxious. And they have to beat every joke to death. It's getting to the point with almost each joke they have to make a face into the camera just to make sure we get the joke. The show has turned into a typical sitcom minus a laugh track and it's bordering on a soap opera with all of the drama and office romances they've got going on.

Of course not.  He's just forced to watch it every week, apparently.

That's my only gripe about the show as well.  The dude is a boob.  Why would anyone invite him anywhere?  Why would anyone want to work for him?

Last season was good. The characters, situations and humor worked. This season they've been forcing the humor way too much. It's supposed to be a reality show. It's lost that element. I'm hoping that it returns to form, but as the season progresses it moves more towards the soap opera and sitcom. It hasn't jumped the shark yet, but Fonzie is putting on the water skis.
