Sorry it's taken waaaay too long to post my thoughts on the season premiere. Things have just been crazy at work. Ironically, most days are filled with rumors -- just like last week's Office episode. But the rumors at work typically involve the paper being sold and layoffs. Heck, I'd kill for a rumor that someone at the N-J is the voice of the Taco Bell dog.
Anyway, I thought the episode was great. The parkour opening was hysterical. Obviously I love this show (duh, I'm doing an Office blog), but the openings are just phenomenal. From Jim's line about "point A being delusion and point B being the hospital" to Dwight riding on Andy's back to Andy jumping straight through the cardboard box -- good stuff. PARKOUR!!
Just some more random Office thoughts:
* Loved how Michael came up with nicknames for all of the interns. Especially using Alan Thicke for the kid who looked like Matt Damon.
* Andy's confusion was priceless, especially his Brad Pitt scenario. I bet he likes tea. Ha!
* 30 Rock is a funny show. At least the couple of times I've watched it. But there's just part of me that's almost bitter that it ALWAYS beats out The Office in the Emmy Awards.
* Creed's lines are always so unexpected. And always amazing. His line about scuba was good, but how about when he asked, "Who's the OBGYN?" when Pam and Jim announced that Pam was pregnant?
* "A baby conceived out of wedlock is still a bastard."
* "She's an anorexitec."
* I was really surprised at how good "Community" was. No, that's not about The Office, but it's on right after The Office. Close enough.
* Oh, and it was nice to see Stanley take out years of frustration on Michael's car.
This was my favorite deleted scene from the season premiere:
