|  #1 Posted on 21.1.10 2048.49 | Instant Rating: 5.21 | I can't believe coming off a six week absence, the first new Office of 2010 is a clip show.
Although it was cool to see the clips, it highlighted what someone (Justin?) said a while back of how glamorous everyone looks now compared to when the series started. Some of that has to do with the HD video used today and how the sets are lit now, but yeah, everyone looks like the best version of themselves as opposed to looking downtrodden and sullen like in the first two seasons.
Best line was Toby's "I don't want to lie but I DON'T want to tell the truth."
If anything, I wish Computron becomes a cast regular. I loved Michael arguing with Computron.
The Employee of the Month sign in the parking lot... was that always there or did Michael make himself the Employee of the Month for January, 2010 without David Wallace's corporate oversight to keep the EOTM program on the up and up?

I really hope that with it being sold, that it's not the end of David Wallace, I really enjoy his character.

Just the thought was terrifying.

There was also a contrast between some of the subtle, understated line deliveries from the earlygoing and more overwritten stuff in later years. During the hysterectomy clip I was waiting for Meredith to say "I have a vagina. And I use it all the time cuz I'm a big whore, hyuck BURP."

But with the proliferation of "The Office" syndicated re-runs on TBS and the local channels, it felt like a complete waste of 19 minutes*. It reminded of the old "Survivor" clip shows and how I used to hate those with a passion, back in the days when I cared about that show.
* I suppose there was about 1 or 2 minutes of new footage that I enjoyed.

The fact that I waited this long to get around to watching what turned out to be a clip show made it that much more disappointing. Given all the anticipation, I think this might possibly be my least favorite episode of The Office. Ever.
