The Office - 'Gay Witch Hunt' - 9/21/06
( Sorry Shaunnick, had to start a new thread with the title before there's too much confusion in yours because of the title. I haven't even seen the episode yet! It starts here right... NOW.)

OK.. Cool. Here we go...
I only recently started to watch this show.. Set up a SP a few weeks ago, and my Tivo picked up several episodes, including last season's finale... Great show. I like it a lot.
This episode was good. Michael is such an idiot. But in a well meaning way, if that makes any sense. I guess I was a tad surprised that Pam didn't get married. They didn't spend much time on her and Jim, but you could tell she misses him and that he misses the Scranton office.

Oh. My. Freaking. God. HILARIOUS!
It may have been even funnier for me personally, because of the coincidence of spending the entire morning in an employment law symposium today, and then coming home to watch this episode.

Fantastic - there are just too many things to mention really. This was the show I missed most over the summer hiatus, am very glad to have it back.

Once again The Office proves that it's the kind of show you can't play online poker to at the same time. The looks on people's faces are acted out so well, particularly on Jim & Pam.
Oh yeah... Eat dirt, Roy!

Several ROFL moments, especially Dwight with the "Gaydar" device.

I laughed so hard at the end that I cried. I also loved the opening scene with Dwight crying.

"Oh, there's Oscar's roommate Gil... I wonder if he knows?" 
So how long until Jim is back in Scranton?
Meredith eating hand sanitizer was a new low for her... rehab soon? 
The look Pam gave Ryan when Michael said "we're all homos... sapiens" and Ryan's "what" reaction was a little sad.
It's funny how Michael's solution to problems like this is always to figure out ways to continue to say offensive things, but without offending anyone.
The kissing was so awkward... I watched it between my fingers. |

Absolutely one of the best shows out there right now. I didn't start watching this until middle of last season, and my wife never really got into it. This episode though, she was laughing out loud. Absolutely fantastic.
So many great moments: Ed Helms blowing up about the calculator and the jell-o and then Big Tuna's reaction, the new girl asking why Jim always looks into the camera, and the line "I'll check Brookstone." I am so excited for next week's episode.

So last Thursday, I had hernia surgery.
It's a really, really, really good thing that it's been a week and I've been recovering pretty well, because OH MY GOD. I haven't laughed this hard since AD went off the air.

Who was the girl ( real name) from Jim's new office? She's definitely been on something else, I just can't place her.

Dwight: Maybe you should pretend everyone is gay and just not say anything offensive.
Michael: Yeah, I'm sure everyone wants me to treat them like they're gay.

Rashida Jones. I recognized her mainly from Boston Public.

Okay, I starting to think that Michael is either the son of the CEO of Dunder Mifflin, or the Scranton office is a tax write-off. WHY ISN'T HE FIRED???
...oh.....he's funny....right.....

LOVED this episode! What a great season start!
"Chicken or fish?"
Eating leftovers from a reception you had to pay for - priceless.
Great set up for the rest of the season by Roy saying how he had to win Pam back. Should be interesting to see him vie for her affections. He isn't Jim - no chance.
"Well Jan, you of all people should know I'm not gay."
Loved it.

I'm surpised the "piece of office equipment in jello" gag from the pilot episode didn't go over well in the new office.
an oldie, but a goodie!

I think they're setting up for Jim to eventually figure out that he belongs back in Scranton. None of the little things he does to pass the day is going to go over well at the new place. He also has no one to share them with.

Wow, I missed this show so much. I agree about the facial expressions. What great actors.

I'm guessing any company dumb enough to put him in charge is also too dumb to know when to fire him.
Excellent start to the season. I really hope we see Jim back in Scranton next week.

This by far the best premiere of any show this year. Loved when the girl from the other office points out how Jim always looks at the camera and makes a face. Hilarious!

Dear god.... I had to pause that one, because I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes. Then, when I finally calmed down, the sight of the paused mugshot once again had me laughing.
What an incredible season premeire. The Michael/Oscar kiss played the "awkward to funny" transition so well that I lost it, and Dwight following Michael's lead only made it even funnier. Oh, and the Scranton girl making fun of Jim's "head tilt and smile" to the camera was great, too.
The Office is the first season premeire I've watched this fall. Here's hoping the rest of the season for the show is even half as funny as this!

Oh my God, I was laughing so hard (like deep in my belly) when Michael was trying to kiss Oscar. "burn this in your eyes" or something like that. Too funny.

Great episode!! My hunch is that they're setting up for the two branches to merge soon...kind of like how they did it in the UK version. He does seem to miss the other branch, but I think it'll be the circumstances of a merge that will bring him and Pam back together.
Do you think Jim knows that Pam called off the wedding???
