Huh?  I don't know that I've laughed harder at Psych than I did during this episode.  Dule Hill's physical comedy in the first half of the episode was the best thing I've seen on TV all week.

That episode was an absolute high moment for Jenna Fischer.  Really, that whole last string of season 3 episodes (from Product Recall onward) is must-see.

Cafe Disco was one of the most satisfying, "feel good" episodes The Office ever did, even if it wasn't one of the funniest.  So I get its inclusion here.

Notably missing is Casino Night, which was not only riotously funny, but also an important episode for underscoring the Michael-Toby rivalry, setting up the love triangle with Carol and Jan, and moving Jim-Pam forward (the kiss, Jim's confession).

Other than the homage to "Seinfeld" ("I AM….the Master Packer"), this was a crap episode, especially since it was supposed to make me excited for the finale.

I concur that Washington is likely for a nod, but I'd consider omitting Bellamy Young from the supporting actress race to be far more of a snub.

I cram-watched this show, and it really exposed me to how ludicrous Fitz's political philosophy is (for a remotely-electable republican).  And not just the specific stances he has — but the way he just brushes off conservative issues that matter to even moderate republicans.

I'm torn on this one.  On the one hand, it's a tremendously insightful and well-written analysis that makes a lot of great points - some I hadn't at all considered.  On the other hand, I feel like it's a somewhat incomplete narrative about the show's ascent.

I laughed at a number of those lines

Seconded.  It's a really strong piece for fans of the show.  The one negative is that it overlooks the presence of flaws even before Carell left (save for Michael Scott Paper company and the occasional fun episode, such as Cafe Disco, seasons 4-6 were also disappointing).

MIT issues early acceptances in December, though.  That's what throws the whole thing off.

*The confusing time issue got even weirder this week:

I'd consider it unlikely.  While Helms wouldn't have gotten The Hangover without The Office, The Office wasn't going to put him at the forefront of the show without The Hangover.

The difference is that they didn't have kids when Pam went to Pratt (they weren't even married, in fact).

Um, yeah, this was clearly the best episode of the past two seasons.  It was not only consistently funny but also hit emotional chords that matter to anyone who had been sticking with the show.

Am I really to believe that this is the FIRST TIME Scarlett brought up the death in Gunnar's family?  She really spent the last however many weeks letting them believe he was just some flaky drunk who didn't take music seriously?

That's where this whole thing broke down for me.  They said he stole the "walking around money" (which would suggest it was more of the staff per diems than a specific payout from the concert) and I guess another $400K or so from her account, but they didn't outright say that any of the money was specifically tied to…

$5 was customary when I was losing my baby teeth, and that was almost twenty years ago.  I'd have been a furious, Lily-esque brat of a child if I didn't get at least $3 or $4 per tooth.

Whether this was the intent or not, or whether it's racist or not, Boyce Watkins, who called it the "most racist commercial in history" (and earned the commercial the wave of press) comes off like such a whiny hack in his commentary.

During the scene with Romero, one of them mentioned that "Shelby said he shot the girl after chasing her into the woods."
