What happened to Erin ruining Pam’s painting??? I’m almost positive I didn’t see that in the episode….?

“How do you return coffee?” greatest delivery ever.

Loved this episode.

I read some of the comments and thought I’d watch the show again, and it was pretty darn good. Of course The Office is my favorite show so I would think that anyway.

Good God! This was rated a D? Has the Office fandom lost touch with their own show?

I know right #114! This ep was far far far from the worst episode ever and so far the ratings for this season have been unrealistically harsh! Before that as well the promotion was really low, it was not amazing, but far from the worst. And i thought that gossip was excellent, and that even got average ratings.

I agree — you can’t compare this with last week’s episode. If you compare it to other solid episodes, it stands much higher than a 6.67!

6.67 for Mafia? Are you kidding? That rates out as the worst episode ever – and IMO, it was really solid. People need to stop being so harsh. You can’t have a wedding every week… In fact, I thought Mafia brought back that season 2/3 feel. Whatever.

LOL, good point, Greg (#112). I would’ve turned my cell phone off too—although when Michael called, I got the impression that he called a phone on the boat that wasn’t Jim’s, hence Jim asking how he got the number.

This wasn’t our new favorite or anything, but it was pretty good, we thought. I agree with those who’ve already said that Dwight + Andy usually = awesome!

And yes, for those of you who haven’t watched them yet, the Erin story line is expanded in the deleted scenes. I kind of wanted to smack Kelly… which just shows how Mindy knows her stuff. :-D

…plus if getting called by their office co-workers irked Jim & Pam so darn much, why did they keep answering their cell phones when they called?

Creed’s great line about small things “… peas, ball bearings, dimes.”

I laughed.. but I was really confused: wasn’t Erin supposed to ruin Pam’s painting? (I just caught up on the episode now).

You know, I realize that Jim and Pam were kind of rude, but everyone is rude to them! I mean seriously! They all accuse Jim of doing things for sales just because he’s sleeping with Pam…but that gets laughs and them being annoyed on their honeymoon doesn’t. Ugh.
The identity theft thing bothered me. Kevin shouldn’t be answering Jim’s phone, let alone spending all his time in that office. I feel like no one takes Jim’s new position seriously, and if Jim starts laying down the law in the next few episodes, I’m not going to be surprised at all.
This was a good episode, but not my favorite. I loved the Andy-Dwight-Michael interactions.

Well, it was better than last week I suppose. I hate to be debbie downer on 2 episodes in a row, but this one wasn’t too funny. There were a couple good lines, but it felt the same as last week…like a ridiculous sitcom. I know it’s been mentioned before, but the format hasn’t been the same for the last couple of episodes and it annoys me a bit. The characters have felt very cartoonish (I think I said something similar last week), but I have the feeling that things will turn around for Halloween.

I also wanted to add that ever since Jim and Pam got together, their co-workers have also treated them shabbily at times. The dynamic between everyone changed. It’s not as if everyone has been nice to Jim/Pam, and they act rude and condescending in return. IMO, it’s a two-way street. That’s one reason why I can’t be too hard on Jim/Pam.

I actually can’t blame Jim/Pam for being annoyed with their co-workers most of the time. I just put myself in their shoes. Their co-workers are fun to watch on television, but if I had to actually work with people like that, I’d become very jaded and irritated after awhile too. IMO, Jim/Pam are very tolerant of their co-workers in general. I think most people wouldn’t have half the patience that they do.

I’m a huge Jim and Pam fan, but I agree their attitudes towards everyone else in the office is very condescending and annoying.
Jim should also realize that now as a Regional Manager he has added responsibilities…but this is the office and Jim probably knew that it was something stupid that really didn’t concern him (which it was!)
Overall this episode was very funny, it reminded me a lot of season 3.

I agree with #94. Lately Jim and Pam have been expecting everyone else to act in a certain way just so that they are happy, which is a bit annoying. The other characters are funnier when they are allowed to act kooky, even if they do things that Jim and Pam consider “bad” or “inappropriate.” I like Jim and Pam; I just wish that they acted like two friends who joke around all the time and don’t care about the weird things people do, like in the earlier seasons.

It’s the small things in the Office what makes it funny as hell. i know a good deal about the mob and this ep. was real funny!

@ ntbos — the bank probably had the number for Jim’s direct line in which case it would not go through Erin first. I know this as that’s how it’s set up where I work as a receptionist.

Thought this episode was a hoot! Loved Oscar’s line about the coalition for reason being extremely weak. Overall, I enjoyed it and thought it was a job well done. :)
