How does arrogance explain their actions? Is being a salesman that elevated of a position that you'd have such a feeling of superiority that you would ignore any obvious solution and try something that has no possibility of working? And who were they supposedly proving their point to?

I like to torture my family while slowly scrolling through the channel listings as Whitney drones on in the background. They said something about the Geneva Convention, but I wasn't listening.

Regardless of whether Outsourced or Whitney was the better show, the take home message is that Americans are a lazy bunch of couch potatoes who can't be bothered to change the channel after The Office ends. Put this show at 8 pm and it's numbers would be lower than Community's. Using it's ratings as a true measure of

So it's strictly the length and nothing else? Lazy doesn't even begin to cover this.

There is no way that Jim and Dwight don't know how a warehouse operates and it's not a job that requires a lot of training. I've never worked in one, but I still have a pretty good idea of what a pallet jack or a dolly is and how that could help me move 300 boxes. This was just a sitcom setup for some wacky antics.

For the life of me I can't figure out why they insist on giving them those "aren't they perfect together" moments that almost make me gag. They could have cut the tag off before the whole talking to each other bit and it would have worked fine. I don't think anyone is still worrying about whether they'll stay

Yeah, it was just winning the lottery, rather than the actual payout, that lead to their discussion. I know I think about "what would I do" after just reading about one of those $40 million payouts. Knowing folks who had actually won a significant amount would certainly be enough to trigger another round.

But it only makes it funnier if you like the characters stupider.

That was just a level of stupidity too far to make any sort of statement about  anything.

I didn't care for much of that whole story because not only Jim, but also Dwight were turned into brain dead morons. I can forgive it for the last shot of Erin on the sled being towed down the greased slot.

This one was a better story than last week's even if a few of the characters were off. I'd like to believe they might try to incorporate the new warehouse workers into the office world. They won't, but it would be nice.

Yeah, and how are we supposed to believe that he would find Kevin's idea plausible?

You might be better off not admitting things like this. Not knowing who Madge and the Seamonster are is a bit of gaff.

They could have put any of those three shows after The Office and they chose the worst one.

While those might be reasons, none of them are very good, especially the Jim and Ryan failures.

You'd think with the Google I could get something like that correct. I'd forgotten it didn't move until after Christmas.

Quincy Jones is going to hunt you down for insulting his daughter.

You mean his "women should be barefoot and pregnant" theology isn't conservative enough? He must not hate the gays with a sufficiently white hot heat.

zzzzzzzzzzzz……

I don't think Mindy Kaling has much respect for the characters either. She has often mentioned how much she enjoys putting them in awkward positions just so she can write a funny bit. I think she is the driving force behind in the increase in 'wackiness' that has become so prominent in recent seasons.
