New ‘Women’s Appreciation’ scenes
Thursday, August 30th, 2007I’ve just been notified by a certain Central Time zoner that at least three new scenes are in tonight’s airing of ‘Women’s Appreciation.’
If it hasn’t played in your time zone yet, WATCH IT! And then post a comment. :)

I might be very unpopular here, but my (grown up) family and I always get together and watch The Office, and we just were open mouthed and hysterical about the whole “tucking” incident. The character Michael is outrageous and pretty well clueless about what is PC, and we thought it fit well - I mean he already talked about plenty of off-color penis talk, so I don’t see where it was so bad. I’d love to see ALL the stuff together in one - guess I’ll just have to get the dvd when it comes out!
53 | BarbA Mon. Sep. 3, 2007 at 1:38pmA major theme in this episode was Michael’s astonishing misunderstanding of femininity, and I think that the tucking scene contributed perfectly for that. Sure, the idea of Michael tucking in front of a mirror is a bit crude, but the insinuation that Michael thinks the only thing separating men and women is the presence of, um…something down there…is hilarious! I think it fits perfectly into the curious-but-ignorant Michael Scott character. Also, it made me laugh a lot.
52 | WLHUNG Sun. Sep. 2, 2007 at 9:21pmThankfully it was my team that was playing, otherwise I would have been even more upset that I missed the new scenes. Oh well…
51 | Dani Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 11:55amYeah, strong agree with Allie on Michael seeming like David Brent on that tucking bit. They’ve done a great job of separating the characters (especially with that direct merger comparison that Jim made), and that just lost that line again.
50 | skibum Sat. Sep. 1, 2007 at 12:46amI waited all week for Creed’s “hanging brain” line, and they cut it out. So sad.
49 | Big Haircut Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 10:53pmDidn’t see the episode last night (don’t hate me, I was at a preseason football game lol) but the tucking on the youtube….yikes. I don’t like it when they seem to lost the flavor of Michael. In season 1, he was more or less David Brent. He evolved in season 2 (booze cruise especially i think) but every now and then it’s like Old Michael or some weird version of David Brent comes out to play and the result is Phylis’s Wedding and lines where he talks about tucking himself. Seems out of left field.
48 | Allie Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 6:07pmThe Office got pre-empted for.. PRESEASON football. Now I love me some football. But this is pre-season. and granted it was an Office re-run, but that doesn’t make me any less disappointed
47 | Markus Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 1:35pmIt’s so nice to get these added bits in the reruns, but yikes, the tucking was out of line for me. Writers, you’re super, please don’t sully the show.
46 | Mighty Kat Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 1:22pmYou know - I thought I had my own private momentary blackout because I knew there was no Victoria’s Secret scene and yet they all came back with VS bags - I’m glad I didn’t lose my mind :)
I’m in NJ so I get NBC NY and NBC Philly (one of the perks of living between two big cities) - Got The Office on the Philly station even though the NY station had football :)
45 | Peggy Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 12:16pmI didn’t like the tucking thing either. Too creepy.
39 | bryce | “THAT wasn’t in there before!”
TWSS.
44 | What's Second Base? Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 11:03amNO! Football was on my NBC station and I couldn’t watch The Office last night! Are they on Youtube or the dvd extras?
43 | Pamela Halpert Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 10:25amThe only part I really missed was Michael screwing up R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Cracks me up every time. Otherwise, I liked the new version because it had, you know, new stuff. Which made it, for me, more interesting than a regular repeat. I also liked how they cut out Dwight yelling “Pam!” at the end. That always seemed too sitcommy to me.
42 | anna Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 10:02amAh, Susan. You’re right. I phrased myself wrong, so thanks for the clarification! :D
And that deleted scene from The Job makes me love Creed even more.
41 | GeorgeJetson Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 9:28amah! when he was talking about the full length mirror. i actually said out loud “oh god, please don’t say tucking!”
and i was by myself.
i love that they are doing new scenes to keep everyone on their toes. honestly, what other show treats their fans this well?
40 | Megan G Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 8:56amOkay, so apparently I’m a freak because the tucking thing made me laugh and seemed totally in keeping with Michael’s “feminine side” (wanting to cuddle, wearing women’s clothes, being just a bit too close to his mom). Although I have to agree with silsont - definite Silence of the Lambs flashback!
I did miss some of the scenes that had to be cut (although my boyfriend’s stance is “Who wants to watch women shop anyway”), but I only have to wait until Tuesday to watch the full episode on DVD - yay!
39 | TobyFan Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 8:42amWhat a pleasant surprise on a dull Thursday night. I thought it was the most concise of the four edited supersized episodes thus far. Michael’s casual “I guess I get it” to the “joke” in the Wall Street Journal slayed me.
38 | phyllis*farm Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 8:26amyeah, the tucking thing creeped me out as well. I didn’t know they were adding the extra scenes, and as I watched, I was like “THAT wasn’t in there before!” Yeah, I liked the original better.
37 | bryce Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 8:23amgood! it wasnt just me. i knew that first scene was new!!
36 | ashley Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 8:07amActually, GeorgeJetson, I remember that part of their phone call at the beginning of the orginal episode… I remember her saying “I miss your body”. Unless, that was in another episode as well….
35 | Susan Fri. Aug. 31, 2007 at 7:44amYikes…not a huge fan of the tucking. Made me cringe.
