I just kept thinking my god what it would be like to be at that dinner party. Loved how Jan kept making comments to Pam. Jim at the end saying his house was on fire and Pam chiming in flooded. The whole episode was funny, yes awkward at times but really isn't that what The Office gives us every episode I thought The Office was great — so so funny.

The parallels were awesome! As someone pointed out on our site, there were a lot of little parallels, like when the contestant took off her bra they blurred them, then 2 seconds later the TGS staff flicked off Liz, which was blurred as well. I admit the deviation from the normal 30 Rock was different. The show with in the show, the camera angles that more matched reality tv, ect. But I appreciate that the writers come up with new ways to tell funny stories! I think these deviations would have been more appreciated in the middle of a long run of episodes not after a 3 month hiatus. It's almost like it was too fresh! I think Office and My Name is Earl suffered from the same problem. We just wanted to see life in the Office, or Earl and his list, not a dinner party or a dream-sitcom sequence as our favorite shows return. Had these episodes been in the middle of a run of new shows, they would have been a lot better. I thought 30 Rock’s writing was up to par. The parallels were awesome!

I cant say ive missed those awkward moments, but they are okay once in a while, i guess. I also thought that the jim leaving pam at the party thing might be foreshadowing that massive event in their relationship thats apparently gonna happen in a couple of episodes. i missed 30 rock, but im looking forward to the watching it tomorrow! i thought the office was awesome last night! it was the best episode in a while.

Everything seemed off: the camera angles, the lighting, lines, characters. None of the characters seemed congruent with the 30 Rock that I know and love. Even the fact that the whole episode took place in one hour? That's never happened on the show. It seemed very slow compared to episodes past where the lines, rapid camera shots, and witty writing were just better overall. Anyone else agree? 30 ROCK was a huge disappointment.

More true to it's UK forefather than usual. Way more awkward than previous episodes, but I still laughed out loud many, many times. The Office was terrific.
