    We should start season 4 Survivor!

  2. Man, Dinner Party is not getting a fair shake. I thought it was a brilliant episode, one of the best of the series. My only guess is that since it was the first episode back from the strike, people were ready for more wacky Office-antics, but instead they got this really different, dark episode.

    I’d say my favorite 3 episodes are:
    1. Goodbye, Toby
    2. Dinner Party
    3. Money

    I agree that Survivor Man was easily the worst episode of the season…it’s the “Phyllis’ Wedding” of Season 5, if you will.

  3. i really loved Night Out, I’m surprised its so low on the list

  4. hmmm…not really happy with the list, but what can i do? lol…here’s mine (favorites to least favorite)

    1. goodbye toby
    2. money
    3. did i stutter?
    4. fun run
    5. the deposition
    6. launch party
    7. dinner party
    8. local ad
    9. night out
    10. survivor man
    11. DMI
    12. chair model (it really wasn’t funny to me…too much focus on JAM)
    13. branch wars
    14. job fair

  5. 1.)Launch Party–9.9
    2.)Goodbye Toby–9.9
    3.)Chair Model–9.8
    4.)The Deposition–9.8
    5.)Night Out–9.0
    6.)Did I Stutter?–9.0
    7.)Local Ad–8.8
    8.)Money–8.8
    9.)Fun Run–8.5
    10.)Survivor Man–8.4
    11.)Dinner Party–8.2
    12.)Job Fair–7.8
    13.)Dunder Mifflin Infinity–7.5
    14.)Branch Wars–7.0

    I think Launch Party, Goodbye Toby, The Chair Model, and the Deposition are the greatest combination of humor, pathos, editing, and acting.

  6. I think people were hard on Did I Stutter because of how serious part of it were. Watching it again, I really appreciate the funny in it, too.

  7. Wow never expected the finale to rate that high.

    14. Branch Wars
    13. Goodbye, Toby
    12. Launch Party
    11. Job Fair
    10. The Deposition
    9. Survivor Man
    8. Dinner Party
    7. Dunder-Mifflin Infinity
    6. Did I Stutter?
    5. Fun Run
    4. Money
    3. Night Out
    2. Local Ad
    1. Chair Model

  8. Hey, people actually liked a post-strike episode! The super low rating for “Did I Stutter?” confuses me.

    14. The Deposition
    13. Night Out
    12. Launch Party
    11. Job Fair
    10. Branch Wars
    9. Survivor Man
    8. Local Ad
    7. Dunder-Mifflin Infinity
    6. Did I Stutter?
    5. Fun Run
    4. Goodbye, Toby
    3. Dinner Party
    2. Chair Model
    1. Money

  9. i agree with, besides chair model, pre-strike episodes crushing post-strike episodes

  10. Us Tallyheads have been so hard on post-strike episodes! Chair Model being the exception, of course. But nothing tops Money!

  11. i find the hour longs so hard to rate. for me the first half of fun run was okay and the second half was awesome. dunder mifflin it is the opposite. branch wars and night out, i loved the a story and thought the b story had funny parts (of course) but i wasn’t in love with the plot. i think every episode of this show is great i feel like i have to be strict with the episodes in order to rank one over another! every episode has moments and lines that are outstanding and rank at the top with any other episode.

  12. Why the lower rating for Job Fair tanster?

  13. Since we’re doing lists:

    1. Survivor Man
    2. Fun Run
    3. The Deposition
    4. Dinner Party
    5. Money
    6. Night Out
    7. Local Ad
    8. Chair Model
    9. Launch Party
    10. Branch Wars
    11. Dunder Mifflin Infinity
    12. Did I Stutter?
    13. Job Fair

    Mine is NOTHING like the official list. But as someone else pointed out, the rating difference between them is pretty minimal.

  14. Updated once more, my list.

    1) Money (9.5/10)
    2) Fun Run (9/10)
    3) Dinner Party (8.8/10)
    4) The Deposition (8.5/10)
    5) Local Ad (8.3/10)
    6) Chair Model (8.1/10)
    7) Job Fair (8/10)
    8) Did I Stutter? (7.9/10)
    9) Branch Wars (7.8/10)
    10) Dunder Mifflin Infinity (7.6/10)
    11) Launch Party (7.5/10)
    12) Night Out (7.3/10)
    13) Survivor Man (7/10)

  15. Job Fair looks about right and it is where I’d place it. I still wish Dinner Party and Did I Stutter? were a smidge higher.

  16. This is my list:

    1) The Deposition (xoxo Michael)
    2) Dinner Party, Fun Run, Did I Stutter?, Night Out, Branch Wars, Money, Dunder-Mifflin Infinity, Chair Model, Launch Party, Local Ad, Survivor Man

    “Everyone inside the car was fine STANLEY.”

  17. Given that there is just a difference of 1.5 points between the top and bottom of the list, I’m not too upset that some episodes I really like are lower down (I, too, loved Survivorman… “Lunch!”)

    I also think maybe rankings are affected by the order the episodes aired (I know I probably rated Fun Run higher than I might have if it had not been first, and Did I Stutter and Job Fair may have suffered from coming after Chair Model, which people loved.)

  18. Tanster:
    Do you vote on these episodes as well? If so, what were your scores? I’d love to hear them!

    [from tanster: excellent question! no, i do not vote in these polls. in fact, i don’t even look at the poll results until after the poll has closed! i would have voted ‘job fair’ lower, and ‘dinner party’ much MUCH higher. :) ]

  19. Sprinkles’s list:

    01. Money - 10
    02. Night Out - 10
    03. Fun Run - 9.5
    04. Launch Party - 9.5
    05. Chair Model - 9
    06. Dinner Party - 8.5
    07. Did I Stutter? - 8.5
    08. The Deposition - 7
    09. Local Ad - 6.5
    10. Dunder Mifflin Infinity - 5
    11. Survivor Man - 4.5
    12. Branch Wars - 4

    I don’t think “Night Out” gets enough love from the fans. I also think I need to rewatch “The Deposition.”

  20. Did I Stutter actually had, I thought, some really lovely JAM moments, although they were quite subtle.

    (That Pam knew something was wrong with Jim after his “warning,” even though she couldn’t see his face, for one.)
