Almost no chance that Dwigt comes back to see this 2.5 years later (even assuming Dwigt is still looking for an answer). Even so…I think the point of the fabric softener exchange was that Pam didn’t think Jim would use fabric softener. He’s a single guy at the time. It’s just another way that he and she are alike and she and Roy aren’t. Plus she gets to tease him a little so that’s good.

That was one of my favorite JAM scenes for a long time. We got to see a little of what their lives would be like if they got together. Nothing super romantic, just the simple things that you figure two people who should be together would somehow find pleasure in doing that the rest of us just do to get them done.

I love this episode so much, Ryan’s talking head was hilarious. I liked the fact that Steve used his real wife, has anyone confirmed if those kids were steve’s?
I loved it when steve was skating in the ice rink. Overall, it was a good episode.

Oh my gosh- Ryan’s speechless and horrified interview after overhearing Dwight and Angela…my favorite part of this episode!! I was laughing like crazy at his facial expressions.

What is the point of the “You use fabric softener?” “Yeah, you don’t?” “No, I do.” exchange?

God, this was one of the funniest episodes yet. I nearly fell out of my chair at Ryan’s speechless talking head. Absolutely one of the best scenes on television.

Counting down the days until April 27th…

Melody, ‘fraid so. :(

No ep at all next week, followed by two reruns, “The Dundies” and “The Fight”, and then the new ep “Conflict Resolution” on the 27th.

It’s torture, isn’t it?

I don’t think those were their real life kids.
They have a daughter whose 3 or 4 and a son who is just under 2

David, I will probably re-run the teasers poll once Season 2 ends.

Did you notice what was written on the whiteboard?

It said:

$3300 = $1,250,000
- ~~Ask~~ Tell your friends
- Under two hours a week
- Be your own boss
- X = Y not

X = Y not — too funny!

Ping, yes that was indeed Steve Carell’s real-life wife, Nancy Walls. That *was* a lovely scene with the kids, wasn’t it?

Yes, I wonder, too, if those were Steve’s real kids. Does anybody know?

Great episode. Is it possible for me to make this sixth in my top five list?

So many great scenes (others have listed them here before me). I love how Michael redeems himself in the last two minutes after being an ass for the first 20 minutes of the show. Am I “koo-koo for cocoa puffs,” but isn’t Michael’s real estate agent at the end actually Steve Carell’s wife? Could those kids actually be Steve’s too?

The intro was awesome. Jennie – I would consider changing my vote in your teaser poll when you re-run it.

Maybe I’m just a softie, but I think my favorite part (out of so many WONDERFUL moments) was when Michael took the realtor’s kids for a ride on his hockey stick, which sounds terrible when you actually say it out loud or write it out, but that’s what he called it – a ride. It wasn’t hilarious, but it was sweet. To be honest, Michael has never been one of my favorite characters, but at that moment he was just so sweet and genuine and not being an ass and I didn’t really feel bad for him at all. I was just happy for him. That’s a RARE Michael moment and I think it should be appreciated.

Ryan’s face was one of the best things I’ve ever seen! Just a great show! It’s all gold.

Absolutely hysterical. Every episode gets better and better! I peddle the show to everyone that I think is remotely intelligent.

(P.S. Dwight’s rendition of the “William Joel” song was one of my favorite moments. That and the cookie exchange.)
