Yes, one might argue that this episode didn't develop neither character nor plot.
However I was very amused by it and thought it was refreshing. Sure, there's not much to refresh after a break, and maybe it would have been better a bit later, but I must say, I loved it.
Cops come to Camden County and we see how many of our characters commit a series of crimes. There are memorable moments, like Joy screaming "I'm not cheating on you" when Earl asks her if she likes rap, or Randy crying on the top of the tree. Or even Kenny trying to hit on the police officer.
Again, it may not be the typical "solve something from the list", but it was all good fun and I loved it.

I can\'t begin to explain just how bored I was by this episode!
Pretty much the only reason I am writting this is to show just how much I hated it.
Don\'t get me wrong, I\'m a huge Lost fan and watch it every week, but this was just too much!
Not only was the episode absolutely boring (Charlie, you are so damn dull! Get a life!) but it was totally irrelevant. It can be summarized with a single sentence. Here it is, so I can save you the agony of actually having to watch it:
\"Charlie thinks he must baptize Claire\'s baby to save him from unkown danger so he kidnaps him. Then he gets punched by Locke and Claire tells him to stay away.\"
Okay, those were two sentences, but you get my point.
Beside, Locke is an old perv and Charlie is a loser... until this episode.
Do yourself a favor and skip this episode and watch the next one.
Over and out.

It's christmas!
So, Michael plans a big office party where everybody gets a secret Santa and, at first, there is no booze allowed (although we all know "booze has never killed anyone").
Anyway, so the highlights of this episode are the fact that Jim has got Pam a teapot she really wanted... AND!... it is filled with inside jokes. On the other hand, Michael is still after Ryan and now got him a Video Ipod to show him he cares for him that much dollar worth.
When Secret Santas are being handed out, Michael gets pissed that he got a homemade oven mitt, so he decides that presents should be swapped.
The iPod gets passed around numerous times, and Jim gets sad when Pam chooses the iPod over the teapot, which she then corrects.
So anyway, after the hilarious presents and comments on the members of the office, Michael decides he should cheer up the party and buys 15 bottles of vodka for 20 people.
So yes, office staff get drunk, Meredith strips for Michael and Kelly even kisses Dwight (who by now has two girls!! What the--???) which, added to Michael screwing up the party make Angela snap and go outside to scream and break some of the tree's decoration.
Chrsitmas-sy indeed.

The Hot Girl causes trobule in the Office and finally Jim catches a break.
How hillarious was watching Michael pull off his lamest moves to get the Hot Girl? I mean, come on!
This fellah thinks he is quiete the ladies' man and makes a really big effort to hide it. To everyone but himself. But of course, why does he need it, he has an every-day stand with his staff, right?
Dwight is as pathetic as always. I can almost fell sorry for the poor little guy.
Anyway, what I really liked about this episode is how true feelings begin to awake.
To be totally honest, when I first started watching the office, I wasn't crazy about the Jim-Pam romance. Why? I don;t want to sound an awful person, but here goes: romances between non-hot people (as I've grown accustomed to watch... thanks Friends and others!).
However Pam has absolutely won my heart, and so has Jim.
While Michael can be the center of the show it's Jim who really does it for me.
I loved when Jim tells Pam he is going out on a date with Katie and she immediately goes to color her lips. Great.
Of course I wouldn't want the romance to be rushed, but I would totally want to see it happen.
Cheers!

Good episode. It had some good parts yet it was definetly missing some of Robot Chicken's finest humor. Of course it's still good but not amongs my favorite episodes.
The Fat One fighst Nortal Kombat (one of my favorite parts). The Fat One fights Hello Kitty, Ninja Turtles and others and finally takes out the demonoid we all now teen pop singers are.
Also, the static channel porn was hilarious.
M. Night Shyamalan Tiwists were unbelievable. I really felt every single twist was incredible and rocked my world.
In fact... no they did not! What a Twist!
Beware of Britney Spears for she always does return!
