Anyone else feel like this season is running a little long?

I thought this was the start of S4. With different, more interesting characters.
to impress a friend of Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam’s (Jenna Fischer).
What friend? They don't have friends except for the bridesmaid who slept with Dwight.
My pleasure. I hope that guy we all know from The Honkies is on this episode too.
Also, I noted, after the show, that our old pal Beej wrote this one. It had a real "Night Out" feel to me.
I just got home and am about to watch it now. I'm looking forward to it now.
I'm too tired to watch it. I watched Community and P&R. I'll watch this tomorrow at work, while my boss is away and I display my utter lack of work ethic..
The tag was very weird. That character has been in the background since the second season and it was funny, but just weird.
Overall, I thought most of the episode was weird, but in the good way.
Jabba the Hutt! Jabba the Hutt! Jabba the Hutt!
That's what I will forever think of when I hear P&R mentioned.
Yeah, odd, but entertaining sounds about right. Kevin was the star for me. Still not getting the Dwight/Isabel story. Pam's enthusiasm for getting out sounded about right. It was nice that Oscar got some screen time.
That about sums it up, DC. The only thing I have to add is nothing new: the Erin/Andy stuff leaves me cold. Tonight's storyline with them really bugged me. I really want them to fade into the background.
I'm trying to hold back on my hate for Andy and Erin. I did laugh at the "Black Snake Moan" line, but less would be better for them.
I forgot it was Thursday. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to watch this. Bleep.
I wish I had video of DC's reactions every time Andy & Erin had a dual talking head. I continue to find them amusing and am just fine with being the only one who thinks so.
I really enjoyed the rest of the episode. I'm pretty sure I laughed more than any other time this season and I think it was my favorite of the season (I know, faint praise). Two things made me laugh really, really hard - tiny Angela sneaking up behind Dwight and scaring him, and Erin rubbing that guy's leg and calling him "big boy", along with the Black Snake Moan line. Also, the girl Andy talked to was way hot.
I really liked Isabel, she's a cool chick, I wonder if she really is that tall? She was almost looking Dwight in the eye and Rainn is 6'3". It doesn't make any sense at first that she would like him, but I read an interview with Rainn where he was asked how Dwight is so popular with the ladies and he said it's the confidence. Dwight completely owns who he is and women find that intriguing.
The one part I didn't like much was Date Mike. Annoying and a little over the top and the bar manager went from about to kick him out to digging him too quickly. But she's good looking (boobs!) and if a relationship does happen it will be nice to see someone with a relationship out of the office. Finally, Oscar playing basketball like a wuss was funny as was the tag.

Imagine if you just took a huge bite of rotten meat topped with cod liver oil. That's the face.
I seriously think of you (in a totally normal way) every time they are on screen together.
I completely echo AMJ's sentiments about the episode, and partially echo his weird habit of thinking about DC while he watches the Most Romantic Story of Our Time.(tm)
I like Andy and Erin. They aren't Old School Jim & Pam, but they're cute, in their own way.

Now I'm freaked out.
Why doesn't B.J. just write all of the episodes. That was a good one. Kevin was awesome, especially his victory at the end. I loved the cold open, just goofy office stuff.

I don't hate Andy and Erin, I nothing them. They are funny and . . . they take up a lot of screen time which is a tad annoying. I'd rather see them doing weird things in the background.

And he swore. I laughed out loud at that. And at other things that I can't remember, but I usually don't laugh aloud when I watch things alone- so this episode must have been good.
My work computer doesn't have the latest version of Flash, so I can't watch at Hulu or NBC.com. Am I out of luck?
