There was really nothing special about this episode, nothing terrible but nothing great either. It was a bit slow paced, and the changes that Dunder Miflin is going through just bothered me.

Has this show jumped the shark? I can't see this show without corporate in New York, and Michael always getting called over there because of something he did. I'll tell you one thing, I definitely will miss David Wallace, he was great on the show, just as great as Jan who seems to be absent as well. Corporate's interactions with Michael were always entertaining.

Now we have Kathy Bates and some guy named Gabe calling the shots, and I'm not sure if I like that. Not a lot of laughs from tonight's episode of The Office, but I think Jim & Pam's storyline saved this episode if anything. "Maybe your not as delightful as you think you are" is definitely the understatement of Jim & Pam, and I'm glad someone on this show finally pointed it out. A neither here nor there episode.moreless

Simply the best intro ever i saw on The Office...

8.5

By DoomNuken, Oct 01, 2010

...and Kathy Battes and Slater also gave a big change intimacy the show:sometimes it felt like i was watching a bog movie cast, i still feel a litle dizzy ...cause it changed a lot the show.

I hope its a change for the better and doesnt spoil the show.

So be ready for a major change on how this show is going to go and hope it doesnt loose many fans just because its diferent.

Even the way they filmed was a litle diferent, less intimate and with a more angles and camera shots.

...im still laughing at Creed saying "...can we make them smaller?".

Sabre Saber? :Pmoreless

Bring on the celebrities

8.5

By ArturiusGarba, Oct 01, 2010

When the show receives ratings as low as "The Banker" episode brings, there's only one thing to do. Get back into the office, erase the drawing board and start over by hiring a celebrity actress and coming up with a new story line.

Finally, they have come back with an original episode, brought in Kathy Bates, Christian Slater and covering Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA". The interview sequence with the daycare when Jim walks in on the guy in the bathroom was one of the funniest moments in the whole season and did it without any celebrities.

Let's keep it going and stay true to the office humor, it's what makes this show great and followable.moreless

New beginnings.

4.0

By thefanof, Oct 01, 2010

I really tried to like this episode of The Office, and in some ways it was good. The new employees felt very British version-y in their mannerisms and dialogue, but that was not enough to save this episode.

What has become apparent is that Jim Halpert is just awful nowadays. Not that I was a huge fan of him in the old days, but he is just not even bearable now. He really has become the Ted Mosby of The Office, where his presence just ruins any scene he is in, no matter how minimal the role of his might be.moreless

Woops I reviewed the wrong episode (should be 16)

8.5

By MooncalfReviews, Feb 17, 2010

The past season or two, most episodes of The Office have become little more than a slapstick fest. Where once the show was about subtlety and dry comedy, it slowly became about outrageous and unbelievable set pieces, which were better suited to most other sitcoms.

But this episode goes back to its roots, in more ways than one. First and most importantly, the comedy is back to its dry, witty, subtle style, with punchy one liners and super awkward moments. No fires, no people falling over, no over the top moments that try to hard. Just plain clever comedy, particularly from Michael. Also, at the end of the episode things go back to how we love them. Jim goes back to sales, and Michael as lone manager. This immediately enables Jim to resume his pranks on Dwight (during the final scene), which we've missed so much and I have a feeling we're going to see the Old Jim in the proceeding episodes.moreless
