Holly: Cool! You drive your own car?
Kevin: Yup. This is my car. Do you drive your own car?
Holly: Yep. Just like you.
Kevin: Okay bye.
Holly: Bye... Kevin, I'm really proud of you.

To any foolish people that don't watch this show....A puppy dies for every episode you miss. You better watch it.
It's an hour long tonight....30 minute Office > 1 hour office. Funnier anyway. Still, it's nice to have it back.

Well...pretty interesting with the progressive time/summer thing there.
I cheered at first, but then became very sympathetic for Andy. Poor guy....freaking Angela and Dwight banging out a cheap quick one all the time. Hilarious.
Stanley = hilarious
Creed had only one moment, but made the most of it.
Ryan and Toby in this one....didn't see either coming. Ryan was funny....knocked down a peg, or 4 or 5. Serves him right.
And of course Michael...ripping up those tickets....that was almost as uncomfortable as his kissing scene with Oscar. What a train wreck.

I thought Ryan was one of the funnier characters of the night.
The goatee looked really weird on Michael. Jim's comment about "Really, nothing at all" or something like that, waiting for Michael for the obvious "That's what she said." Funny stuff.
I was thinking oh my goodness with Pam at her school and hanging out with that guy. The scene in the rain and the proposal was still really cool though.

Great opening episode. Funniest part for me was "wait, you think I'm retarded?". Great stuff.

I enjoyed the episode overall, but I really hate the Dwight/Angela/Andy stuff. I just don't think cheating is funny.

Exactly...Andy is without a doubt one of the funniest characters on the show...right up there Michael and Dwight.

I'm having a hard time figuring out if Michael is going to completely blow it with Holly (that's what she said), or if he's going to actually be able to pull it off.

The conversation about Battlestar Gallactica and threatening Dwight with the stopwatch was one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen on the show. Brilliant.

I like how long Creed has worked at the office, and he still doesn't know anyone's name.

Yes! That's what my wife and I said immediately after it happened. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It's especially funny if you've seen BSG, but the premise is not hard to figure out. I can't wait to see that again some time.

Those living in Austin with Time Warner, we are getting screwed by not getting NBC broadcasted anymore...
So, I haven't seen the episode yet--I'll watch it online tomorrow.

I thought it was on the weak side last night. That stuff with Jan was weird, and with Michael and the baby... I think it's time to be done with Jan on the show for a while, but sadly I don't think that's going to happen.
I've heard that Holly is not a permanent member of the cast, so I don't know what's going to happen with that.

I'm not sure the show is as funny with a happy and well adjusted Michael. But I sure have loved the awkward courtship between those two.
