The deleted scenes are very solid. I hope they turn that episode into a 30 minute one cutting out the last 20 minutes and using the deleted scenes instead.
I also think that more TV shows will take after this concept (some already are) and work with the synergy between TV and the Internet as it keeps the attention from fans longer which is attractive for sponsors.
My guess is that the Blackberry heavy clip was made with this in mind, it was never made for TV.
i completely agree with AP –these deleted scenes are the best thing i’ve seen this season. the jim/dwight interactions with pam as an accomplice is what we’ve been missing!
AP is right on. Mostly, in terms of Michael, which is where i feel the show loses me the most. All the deleted scenes put together were better than the last parts of the episode, especially in terms of Michael being a character (deleted scenes) v. a cartoon (show). I find Michael’s characterization can make or break a show for me and lately, it’s turning me off.
Only one of those deleted scenes deserved to make it into the episode. There is nothing at all subtle about that creed plotline. While still funny, Creed with a skateboard is way cartoony.
Where is the show I know and love? I hope The Office doesn’t start using over-the-top physical gags like Michael burning his foot on a George Foreman Grill or Jim using a water bottle to squirt Dwight like a cat. Pretty soon they’ll be doing an episode where Michael and Dwight fight in a Dojo. How ridiculous.

I agree AP, that the deleted scenes were better than the actual episode. Too bad, I’m waiting for the half hour episodes to return.
I agree with AP. Ditto that, Brah… I’ve been enjoying the last two episodes, but something has definitly been missing. Now that these deleted scenes have been posted, I now know what that is: those deleted scenes. Especially the one with Jim and Dwight. We need more Jim and Dwight interaction. I was sad to see that they did film such banter, but it was relegated to the deleted pile.
I can’t even bear to watch the second half of DMI again, yet the deleted scenes are wonderful. The car-in-lake must be vital for some future storyline, because better material didn’t make it into the episode
I loved the Pam’s Post-it on Blackberry bit and Michael’s computer fruit and ageism monologs. No shouting or falling in water needed to entertain this fan!
Why can I not get the 4th clip? I have been trying for days.

98 | MPA Thu. Oct. 11, 2007 at 7:08amwhy are there so many deleted scenes with really hilarious creed stuff but they always take them out???
GRRR…
97 | VolunteerSheriff'sDeputy:) Wed. Oct. 10, 2007 at 3:56pmI LOVE the theme song. Is there an extended version available on CD? Anybody??
96 | Janet Wed. Oct. 10, 2007 at 2:33pmloved all the deleted scenes!
95 | foliage Wed. Oct. 10, 2007 at 12:34pm“Suit yourself. But if it were up to me - botox, wig.” That scene is hilarious. I wish it would have been left in.

92 | Tah freakin’ dah Wed. Oct. 10, 2007 at 8:51amI really loved the Dwight/Jim interaction. I hope it is more prominent in the upcoming episodes. I am demanding more PB&J pranks,too.
91 | tra Wed. Oct. 10, 2007 at 8:23amThe third clip is full of product placement mentions of Blackberry. It raises my opinion of the show that they edited so much of that stuff out.
