User Reviews

I'm so glad it's back!!!

The chair model episode reminded us of what we have been missing for the past 4 months. Dinner Party wasn't bad, but it wasn't the like the others and only contained about half the cast. I think that the writers picked up on this which is why they incorporated a great little bit with Andy and Kevin. Ed Helms is excellent in this episode and the old Michael appears as dumb as ever.

We also get a glimpse of the future of Pam and Jim, pretty juicy stuff. I hope they are able to keep making their relationship funny.

10 out of 10, Keep em comin.

P.S.- The Dance by Andy had me laughing for about 15 minutes.
