When Toby was telling Michael about when his parents brought him to court as a child to testify against the other parent and Michael just glares at him without saying a word and then slowly pushes Toby's tray off the table and walks away.
Amazing. |

Good episode. Funny, but lots of character development.
And Kelly was so ridiculously annoying (in a good way). |

It's done for the foreseeable future due to the writers strike.

You can't blame the writer's guild for going on strike. Apple and other companies post episodes of shows like The Office online for download for a fee. The writers never see a dime because the companies and network pocket the revenue. Since there are no new episodes of virtually any current TV show, these companies are eventually going to have to give the writers a share of the profit if they ever want to make money off downloading TV shows again.

They just want to be paid fairly for their hard work.. Corp execs get all the profit for their hard work and creative input.. I'm pissed that my favorite shows aren't coming on, specially around sweeps week, but, I completely see why it's going down..
I've told you this before but, you come off a an utter asshole in like 75% of your posts.. |

Krispy is right. Just think, if there were no labor unions using the power of collective bargaining for fair wages and benefits, teachers among others would be making even less than the meager salaries they are paid now.

Why do shelf stockers at a grocery store with a union get paid $20+ an hour?

They don't..
My fiance managed a Starbucks inside a grocery store and had to work under their union, she only made like $12 an hour plus benefits.. Have you ever been in a union?? Yeah, how about knowing what your talking about before opening your mouth.. |

My aunt stocks shelves at Safeway for a living. She makes $48k a year doing so. She laughs at how much money she makes for doing nothing.
Unions have done good for people, but at times they're quite rediculous. |

Yeah but writers and creators of shows should see a share of profits when a show succeeds.. Some studio exec makes hundreds of million dollars a year in ad revenue alone based solely on the fact that the show is popular because it is a good show.. 9 times outta 10, it is a good show because of the actors and writers.. On a show like the Office, who's main writers are actors, they are getting boned.. Watch that video I posted.. They talk about how the studio got them to write "webisodes" that were outside of their contracts.. The "webisodes" have ads embedded into them that couldn't be fast fowarded online.. The companies paying for the ads pretty muched paid for the episodes to be made, but the writers got no bump for them..
Look at it this way, what if you bartended at a bar that was closed on sundays.. Would you go in a work a private party on a sunday for free, just so the owner of the bar could make extra money?? |

How does it not make sense??
They (the writers of the Office) were asked to do extra work, which their bosses profited from, while they didn't.. It's the exact same thing.. |

Well, being professional, they did it to help the show.. But it's a million things like that, that has lead to this strike..

I thought it was pretty rofl. Maybe because I wasn't highly anticipating it but I enjoyed it more than 30 Rock, which I was anticipating.
Lots of great awkward stares into the camera by Jim and Pam tonight. Whole night was just hilariously awkward. |

There's supposed to be some kind of Office spin off. There's a rumour it's being based around Andy.

If so, that would be the only way it would work..
I can't see any of the other characters being able to "star" in a show.. They all work well off each other, but the Andy Bernard character could work in any situation.. There's only so much they could do with Dwight, Moes, and the beet farm.. |
