I love the beginning when they show all the places in Scranton. I went to high school in Scranton so it is cool. The only exception is Hooters, there is no Hooters near Scranton. Great show.
what school? i'm a wshs alum.
they took down the "scranton welcomes you" sign, though...replaced it with a cheesy looking one that says "scranton, welcome home". blech.

there also isn't a Chili's in Scranton, theres one 20-30 min away in Wilkes Barre, but not in Scranton as they imply in the show. Of course it won't be perfect, but it's still great for those of us who live here. Most of you may not know this, but the show is littered with subtle references that make it all the funnier for us from the area.
I thought last Thursday's "Travelling Salesmen" was superb. A real return to form, several seriously 'laugh out loud' moments
I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.
It would be cool if all the references were accurate, but it's all about product placement. Chili's and Hooters, and even Benihana pay a boatload of money to be used in the show.

Oh yeah we don't have a Benihana or a Hooter's by the way. However, there is some seriously accurate stuff. In the third episode of the first season(I believe), Michael has a brochure for a local coal mine tour. In several episodes there are references to radio stations such as Rock107 and somebody has a Froggy 101 sticker near their desk. The oft-mentioned Farley's and Poor Richard's are actual restaurants in Scranton. They mention Hoban, which is a school near Scranton, in Wilkes Barre. They once mentioned Carbondale, which is an area near Scranton. In the Casino Night episode Creed can be seen stealing a candy bar from a vending machine, if you look closely it is a Gertrude Hawk candy bar, which is a chain that is only in certain areas of the northeast, including many around here. I'm pretty sure in the Booze Cruise episode they went to Lake Wallenpaupack, which, while not in Scranton, is nearby. The photos in the theme song are actually of Scranton by the way.
That's all I remember right now, if I come up with anymore I'll post em. As you can see, there are indeed tons of accurate references, a lot of which are great inside jokes for us who live here haha.

Crystal Club Soda...
I'm gone ..Long gone..This time I'm letting go of it all...So long...Cause this time I'm gone
I have to disagree... I think tonight was one of the best episodes of the season.. I would like to see Andy and Dwight go at it for a few more episodes until Andy just goes absolutely nuts and quits or gets fired..

yea you probably dont get the show..the last 2 episodes have been vintage office, real fans appreciate it
its nice to have a show that you need to appreciate the nuances
also according to NIELSEN the Office is network television's most upscale comedy, delivering primetime's #1 concentration of adults 18-49 living in homes with $100,000-plus incomes.
I liked tonight's episode. I have always liked Andy. If he goes, he'll be missed, but welcomed back to the Daily show. He came back a few weeks ago, but hasn't been on in a while. I knew Andy was gonna flip, like when his calculator was jello'd. ( think it was his calculator, maybe a stapler?)
I really wanted to see Jim ask Stanley if he wanted to be in on the prank.
Wasn't the music playing when Michael walked into Staples to get Dwight the muzak version of Up Where We Belong? Nice reference to AN Officer and A Gentleman when Michael went to get Dwight.

When Michael first entered staples, my wife asked if this was going to be just like an officer and a gentleman, but for the life of me I couldn't pick out the song. I'm pretty sure you are correct. Hilarious. Very subtle, but very funny.
"He all up in my biness, which is ebonics for...."
drivingrl: "Will I ever get to meet Gwen Stefani?"
kevinbeetle: "Yes. When her career washes up and her and Gavin move to Galveston, you will meet her at Hot Topic shopping for a Japanese cheerleader outfit.

He really is an angry character. the cell phone shit was great tonight.... I think Karen and Andy are out and we'll be back to the original cast...
andy needed to go a few episodes ago.
not a good episode tonight.
Brave to try to gamble at times
yeah, i felt that one. yikes.
i loved tonight's episode and all of the dwight love surrounding it. "i miss dwight. congratulations universe, you win."
jim's face when andy reeled him in...priceless.
"your gayness does not define you...your mexicanness is what defines you"
"i want them sucking up to me because they genuinely love me"
Andy is funny when he's angry, but I find him annoying when he constantly acts like a weaker Michael Scott like he did this episode.

Kevin is quickly becoming my favorite part of this show.
