Maybe because I first saw it on TiVo without commericals. I think it flows much better that way and is a lot funnier. But Michael competing with Josh and being jealous over Jim is classic Michael Scott. Hilarious. And the actor who plays Pam's date may be my favorite guest star in the entire series. The way he plays a full-of-himself loser is hilarious! Ok this really is one of my favorite episodes. Maybe because I first saw it on TiVo without commericals.

There are some really good moments in this episode although it does get off to a slow start. Although I initally didn’t like the convention it holds up extremely well when you watch it a few times.

Im going through the same exact thing. I would still like to see some follow up from Ryan. I'm sure they'll do a talking head soon enough were he talks about it. It could also be bills. The average person coming out of college these days come out so deep in debt, a lot of times you have to work a job you don't necessarily like just to pay down a lot of your debt.

Ryan was probably like a lot of college grads and looked at a lot of different options instead of focusing on one thing. When one does that, they tend to not be able to get a job. Most employers want you to have wanted to do this job since you were five. My guess, Dunder-Mifflin pays him enough for him to stay, but not enough for him to like it.

Didn't like the Pam/Toby thing. I guess this is a stab at adding some more depth to the Toby character. But to me it just came off kinda pathetic and creepy. Some characters are better off being kinda one-dimensional. They need to do something with the Michael love triangle soon. I am so curious about how they are going to handle that. Stop begging for Jim to come back to Scranton! As good as JAM has been for the show at times it also tends to take a lot of focus away from the rest of the characters. Which are all very funny! Be patient with JAM. They have to build up the tension again. If they were together right now that would suck. I don't think the merger is happening. I think some of Michael's miraculous sales will help avoid the merger. Plus I have hard time seeing the writers going that way. Some more points….

It got off to a slow start and sort of dragged a little. However, it finished pretty well. Overall, I'd have to say this one of the least funny episodes I've seen. But this show has gotten so good, that it can still be entertaining without actually being that funny. My favorite part was, "Yeah, well maybe next time, you will estimate me." Just the way Steve Carell said that it was so funny. A few things... They have to explain the Ryan/Kelly thing more. They also have to explain why Ryan still works there. I really hope they dedicate an episode to this soon. Also I guess they were totally serious about the Oscar on vacation thing. He really wasn't in this episode. Melora Hardin is very sexy BTW. She defines MILF. I didn’t like this episode as much as the first one. It got off to a slow start and sort of dragged a little. However, it finished pretty well.

Can't wait for the next one! P.S. - I miss Jim. It's just not the same without him at Scraton because no one can pull all of those pranks on Dwight and Pam is lonely, but now they have a really awkward relationship which sucks. :( This episode was by far better than Gay Witch hunt for sure.

Today on my 5th viewing it just clicked and I saw the light. This is why I love this show. It is such a deep well written show. I hope this show last a LONG time. I love Creed!!! Think about "general specifics" for just a second. It first I didn’t like this episode as much as the 2nd season. Today on my 5th viewing it just clicked and I saw the light.

Probably so he can easily access them when talking to the vendors. I think Dwight’s written Scranton Office’s numbers, his room number on them.

Of all the things that Angela would want to be mistaken for, I think "hooker" would be dead last on her list.

That was great by itself but then it was pointed out that Michael set it as his song for Pam's incoming calls. Inappropriately hilarious. I just caught that Michael’s ringtone was “My Humps”.
