Dogs are cute, but the fact that the anecdotes are about dogs whose owners are Marmaduke readers depresses me.  People that horrible don't deserve great pets. 

Although I agree that the show shouldn't lean so often on relationships, it is understandable that the writers wouldn't think a 22 minute sitcom would have time to introduce relatively complicated issues and makes jokes about them.  Would it really have helped to have them explain that trying to woo a company to build…

Jennifer Barkley's cynicism was comically over the top, but they at least fit her into a story line that pitted a competent strategy for Leslie against Jennifer's smarter if sleazier strategy.  I thought it was one of the better campaign story lines in that it didn't wrap up the issue of the day too neatly. 

Cheryl said it from outside the office.  I would like to think that I wouldn't confuse Jessica Walter with Judy Greer at least.  

"Orientals, duh!"  Even on a Pam centric episode, Judy Greer still had my favorite line of the night.  

Pam is seen on toilet a disturbing amount of times on this show.  I'm not sure how to quantify a disturbing amount, but 'more than once' is a good enough standard. 

I hate complaining about verisimilitude on this show, but nobody, fictional or otherwise, thinks Marmaduke is funny. 

A cynical, detached campaign strategist winning is the sort of thing this show needs more of.  Having Leslie's earnestness and ideals always somehow contributing to the day's 'victory' was turning the show into a much funnier version of the West Wing.  Nobody needs that. 

I'm with O'Neal, reading sucks!

I'm going to miss these reviews once they are done.  Obviously, it is great to have a space to talk up Seinfeld.  The Sims bashing, however, is just a nice bonus that make the seemingly longest day of work go by a little quicker. 

I suppose, but is Jerry ever as concerned with how others perceive him as George is?  George likes to hide his pettiness behind seemingly sophisticated motives while Jerry doesn't seem to care that people see that he really can't get beyond the most trivial of things. 

Kramer grinning like an idiot in front of a brick wall before getting clocked by a snowball never ceases to crack me up. 

T-Bone!  T-Bone!  T-Bone!  Kruger Industrial Smoothing is one of the better developments of season 9.  I would even say it has some of my favorite workplace story lines for George. 

As with George talking about marrying Susan's cousin's unborn child while wolfing down spaghetti, he really does embody sleaziness in thought and action perfectly sometimes. 

She gets high off of some painkillers in 'The Pen,' which provided my favorite use of mood-altering substances on the show.  STELLLAAAA! 

It must have taken restraint, but Sims didn't say it bothered him that Susan never said the 'sorrys in a sack' line in her previous appearances.  You know that had to bug him.   

I never cared for the reveals in the A-story with the wedding, but Kramer's story is a rare tour into his life outside of Jerry, George, and Elaine.  Watching him getting pelted with a snowball and Newman's hot new lady friend were the bigger laughs of the episode while the wedding story was more of an interesting…

The line is 'PIMPLE popper M.D.' 

Although it is never said, I have to assume Bob Sacamano was at Kramer's party in 'The Van Buren Boys.'  

I find it odd that tons of people are watching the Walking Dead yet they rarely seem to have unqualified praise for it.  The attitudes towards the show range from 'awful thing I can't stop watching' to 'flawed but mostly okay.'
