Heh heh heh. A dinner party at Michael and Jan's? This ought to be good. (I mean, of course it will be; it's The Office! )

Following tonight's episode we will open a poll for you to rate Dinner Party. This "Voting Only" poll will open at 9:25 PM Eastern. Enjoy!

Jan has an office and a workspace?

I can't believe she makes him sleep at the foot of the bed like that!

Great so far Man I've missed this show!

(Gasp) she called Pam's work doodles!

So that's what Hunter's band sounds like...

I'm Baack - like The Office - I'm Baaackk!!

JAMES BOND FIRE CANDLES! HAHAHAH
Michael Scott!!

Oh, so close Jim. But you never leave someone behind like that. Or at least say that she's your ride or something.

OMG! I'm dying here - this is the most cringe-worthy episode since... the last one!

Michael has been working on his wine vocabulary: oaky afterbirth.

Also,there's nothing wrong with having a camera set up in your bedroom. If anything, it indicates positive self-esteem.

Jan and Michael are absolutely priceless! Oh my Angela!! And Michael thinks that Jan might be trying to poison Pam.

The cops! Not now Dwight. Classic.

I am on the west coast so can you tell me if tonights episode is a half hour OR hour long?? Can't wait!!

It's only a half hour and they didn't have a small ending clip.

what a roller coaster ride of an episode. LOL

half hour tonight

It seemed so short! But I think it's because we got so many hour-longs at the beginning of the season

Michael and Jan tonight- wow

I love that Jim stole Hunter's CD. And Angela always goes for Andy's car, doesn't she.

"I bet you get sick of having Tuna every night".

(Never!)

Awesome, Awesome episode. Just Awesome.

I love that Michael finally figured out a way to trap Jim and Pam. I wonder what his previous plans included?

OMG that episode was HILARIOUSSS.
i feel s bad for Andy at the end, where Angela put the ice cream on the car after he licks it..
and Jims so bad... he stole Hunters disc!

OMGosh, I didn't even catch that VB!!

LOL, that was an amazing episode!

The camera in the bedroom, Michael's minibed, the "plasma TV", the vessectomy rant, all the arguments, Dwight showing up with his babysitter! Priceless!

And I think it had the most open-ended ending of any ep so far - it left 4 or 5 things that'll have to be resolved. So well done, too.

"That cost me 200$!"
and the sue me thing, with Jan, laugh out loud..

I love that Angela was not going to be helping Pam with Jan.

Someone please tell me what happened after the cops showed up!!! Stupid weather people took over the TV and cut out the last three minutes!

Yeah, that was really great. It surprised me a bit.

They showed Micheal going home with Dwight, leaving his sitter alone. Jim and Pam eating burgers, Angela and Andy eating ice cream.Oh, and Jan trying to piece together the dundie watching TV on the broken plasma.

That one night...you made everything alright...


ok, where can I download that song, babe?

Wow! On the one hand, poor Michael. And on the other, good for him for standing up for himself!!

Do you wanna have a f****** kid?

I'm going to have Hunter's love song to Jan in my head all night!! And Jim, oh, Jim, how could you think of abandoning Pam like that? Not cool at all.

No one's mentioned one of the best lines, which I will of course get wrong: "I would rather die than put another one of your beets in my mouth again" Something to that effect!

haha, yes, that was a great line.
and the kid one. x]

I loved how Michael finally stood up to Jan!
He finally grew some!

I have to say, they did a good job of hiding the pregnancy. They are taking full advantage of Angela's height (or lack thereof).

Loved the talking heads in the bathroom.

And Michael "I'm in He!!"

I loved Pam saying, "Awesome!" when Dwight and his 'date' arrived.

Wow. This epi was so totally WOW! An absolute train wreck. I almost died with Jim's face when he walked into the candle room. Aghhh......way too funny. I think I died of laughter when they were really arguing and Michael got the last word with "that's what she said." He is always spot on!

Oh my.....Jim almost abandoning Pam. WTF?

Angela was great as usual but definitely obvious as to hiding her belly.

And Jan...what a freaking psycho. I loved when she told Pam that she could use her wine to cook with. LOL.

I am so glad my show is back on. I can't believe it's been 5 months!

By the way, I love how they brought the whole office vs. workspace thing.

There are 69 guests . . . . on this thread right now.

yesss that was great.
but, I totally forgot about Angela being pregnant!






78!
but before, there was over a hundred.

It was a great reworking of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
I loved it...

I laughed out loud at Jim gagging in the candle room!!!

Hehe, that was funny, I really got the idea of how bad that smelled! I never knew she wanted to go into the candle business!

This eposide was really built up and it was awesome, but it was sad i liked Jan and Michael and it looks like a break up and Michael is going to be all alone again.

Niiiiccccceeeee.


I hadn't thought about it like that but it really is a lot like that and absurd is certainly one way to describe Michael and Jan. Great reference. Welcome to the boards!

I have to say that upon rewatching it (yes, already rewatched it) my favorite part is Jim's talking head in the bathroom. "Jan and Michael seem to be playing a game of who can make the guests more uncomfortable. And they're both winning." The look on his face when he said that was completely priceless and why I love this show.

I am missing the meaning behind "you have an office AND a workspace." Please help me with that one.

YES!
That was one of the best moments!
Jim always says the best things in the wierdest moments

Jim kind of looks like an ass in this eposide because he almost leaves Pam by herself at the party and not helping out Michael with the cops and staying at his house, i mean weak did Jim forget about the boise cruise and the end at of surviorman i mean Jim needs to help Michael out once.

In the Healthcare episode of season one Dwight is assigned the task of picking a plan and is granted the conference room as a "workspace" which he keeps trying to pass off as an "office" but Jim won't let him.

Thanks.
"Get the guests" and all that jazz... ha...

I don't know about a break-up... I think that the Michael and Jan like the conflict; they are rather, um, kinky after all.

And he argues with Michael about what it is too. As soon as Dwight says he has a bigger office than Michael, it becomes a workspace.

It even goes right down to the imaginary kid though not in the same way or to the same extent.

I don't think Michael and Jan will break up again yet either. I think Jan is too needy right now and Michael is still convinced that this is what he wants (he talked himself back into it and we all know what it took to talk him out of it the first time).

I have to agree, I think that'll they will end back up together. Maybe Jan will become more ... fair? Giving Michael what he wants, acting like a human rather than the little animal she became. All she needed, I think, is to notice that Michael will leave her, and that she doesnt wanna lose him, that she has to treat him nicer.
