Too much Linda. I don't really like her character, but see the need for a "quirky" foil.

This week I really liked her, whereas in previous weeks she's been like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Clearly, all along the solution was to abandon her office romance wannabe storyline with ted and instead have her interacting with Lem, Phil, and Veronica. While stoned.

Ann, that's a ferret.
The Office is back on track! Michael's "I understand nothing" was another classic example of telling more truth than he realized.
And Andy deserves a break.

Yeah, that episode was really funny. Hell, I thought it was funnier than 30 Rock, which isn't the norm.
The teaser cracked me up so much, as did Pam's notepad messages to Michael and Michael's color code for his Rolodex ("Green means go ahead and shut up about it"). Also, Michael was surprisingly good in the meeting in the Schofield; he made me believe that he really could make it on his own. He may be incompetent as a person, but he does have some level of professional acumen.

He's a living example of the Peter Principle. A fine salesman who got promoted to his level of incompetence.

Yeah...it's his interpersonal instincts that make Michael a schmuck/

Interpersonal instincts with anyone who isn't like him. Including anyone of a lower status.

I gotta say I'm not really feeling the Poehler show and The Office back-to-back. But yesterday was the first time I've ever seen the Poehler show. It seems like a lot of mockumentary for one evening, imo.

The first episode was much, much better than last night's. I hope they keep Amy Poehler's character a true believer in the democratic process and don't let her self-aggrandize into yet another Michael Scott.
