I completely agree with your review of Grey’s but you seemed to have forgotten the best part of the episode. And that would be the dramatic monologue by Sandra Oh. She nailed that scene and I believe that one scene will (or should) win her an Emmy.

I didn’t think it would happen but….I actually 100% agree with you tvaddict.

I’m glad we finally agree on something. I loved Grey’s Anatomy last night. The show has had some good episodes ever since the season started, but this week’s was the first one that I thought could stand up to Seasons 1 and 2 in quality. The show is finally back to it’s great self and I’m loving it. My favorite storyline was the one with the gay soldiers. Heartbreaking, yet touching.

I think you’re over exaggerating about The Office though. It was just average. Plus, 30 Rock was so great that it made The Office look bad in comparison. I can’t believe we have to wait months again for more.

I think that every TV show writing staff should be required to go back and watch their entire run of episodes, like I read that Shonda and the GREY’S writers did, once they get three or four years into a show. Cause, it sure is working out well for them. They seem to have remembered what made the show great. The post-strike episodes of GREY’S have been some of the best of the series.

Dudes, you’re being way too hard on The Office. Michael was creepy-funny, but that’s who he IS. No need to water his character down further. I liked it; 30 Rock had more laughs, sure, but overall, it was the funniest hour of TV this week, no question.

I’ve never stopped loving Grey’s but if I had, any of the post-WGA strike episodes would have pulled me right back in. I was emotionally invested in the episode in the first 5 minutes with the woman in the bubble and Grey’s did something it hasn’t done in awhile, made me wanna cry. The story line with the gay soldier was heart-breaking and beautiful at the same time. I really hope the next episode and finale stay in good fashion like this

Being a loyal fan of Office since it started i must say last night episode was bad…And i know most people agree with me from all the review and stuff i have read so far..Michael isnt even funny he is just painful to watch lately the Dwight stuff is ok but i mean come on how many times can you do the same thing..The only thing that saved it was Creed call to Angela and Andy crashing the golf cart this episode was pretty much a setup episode to the finale thou so i can live with it

I’m a fan of “Ellen.” Does that make me a lesbian too?

Quinn,

I’ve seen every episode of THE OFFICE. I think that qualifies me as a loyal fan. That said, just because I’m a loyal fan, doesn’t mean I’m not entitled to my own opinion.

That’s unfortunate the you did not enjoy last night’s OFFICE. I thought that it was very good, very close to what THE OFFICE was at the beginning of the series. Yeah, Michael is more awkward and cringe-worthy than usually, but it’s fine. Last night’s episode was for the true, loyal fans… the ones that get both the humor and heart of the show.

While the episode didn’t fully take place in the office, every activity is office/business- related, which is why it didn’t bother me that only Dwight and Angela stayed behind.
