I've enjoyed the last couple episodes, as they have been more office-centric. Hopefully this will be a good one!

Tonight 9pm.

STANDING OVATION!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best episode of The Office I have seen since the wedding!

I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes during some of these scenes....No question the best Christmas episode of the shows run.

Definitely the best episode of the season - the writers seem to have figured out the zany non-office situations don't work nearly as well. Still not as good as the classic season 2 and 3 Christmas episodes. Too much filler (Gabe and Ryan bring nothing to the show) and they keep making Michael too non-sympathetic.

Maybe I am just being cynical, but I watched the first 10 minutes last night and was just amazed that this show is still on TV. "Jumping the shark" doesn't give justice to how far this show has fallen. What is the point of Gabe again? He has the charisma of a chicken mcnugget and the comedic timing of Bea Arthur, post-death.

It is has just turned mostly into a normal sitcom with the camera angles and lighting and most importantly writing. The best moments last night were reminiscent of the old days with the talking into the camera (Michael's comment how the Scranton Strangler took another person's breath was classic Office gold). There are only so many natural awkward moments you can keep up with in the writing, so the writers are forced to create unnatural awkward moments - that and they've dumbed down every character. Jim/Pam/Ryan used to be the "straight" characters, now they (particularly Ryan) are nearly as eccentric as the rest of the, to your point bloated, cast.

I agree that this was the best episode in quite a while (I actually didn't delete it off of my DVR when I finished watching it so that I could watch it again). What made the show great was it's funny awkward moments that recently had turned into just awkward moments. This one had funny awkward again. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great episode. Some good quotes and some classic interaction between Jim and Dwight.

I get tired of Pam and Jim's lovey-doviness. It's not funny or interesting and Pam's character has been growing more annoying each season

This was a very good episode.

I really laughed out loud when the snowball came out of the box and nailed Jim in the face.
