Something screwy overall was going on. Since I primarily watch Smallville, the over the air HD feed was off and on (and I never have issues with it). Not sure what was happening, weather it was lingering storm or what, but i had issue not only with NBC last night, as I had to watch Smallville in regular ole non HD viewing...

You werent *totally* off base on The Office.
The beauty of the lake scene was that it was a single long shot and (I suppose) a single take of putting the car in the lake. Plus the actors did it themselves, which I found hilarious.
I feel like even though the episode runtime has nearly doubled, the number of jokes and gags havent.
I am excited for them to go back to 22 min.

You are right Adam, the lake scene was good that way, hitting the lake and getting out in the water was one shot and pretty cool at that.
Cap'n, I had Smallville problems too, the OTA kept skipping...like a record player jumping ahead. Was weird.

Wow Mikey, hating on the office esp after just 2 weeks! I think it's been great so far, although I would agree that an hour is too much of a good thing.
The relationship stuff should run its course in the next few weeks. But I love the whole Ryan as boss and Micheal as sub-ordinate thing. I also really liked the whole 'old school' philosophy of customer retention/anti-technology part, that was classic Office.
And Creed rocks....'gotta ride the bull...later sk8ter'!

The Kelly "I'm pregnant" thing was funny too...there were some great, classic Office moments, but I just felt that some of it seemed like they tried too hard, and I'm just not used to it.
