It’s when shows pull out all the stops to get your attention and Big Things happen.
And trust me, Big Things will happen onThe Officethis month.
But they didn’t happen last night.

Kaling gets what makes the show work, and she pulled it together while displaying great timing.

Meredith let her freak-flag fly again, and Creed… Well.
The Union of the Monkey.
Need I say more?
I can’t get it out of my head so I’m forcing you to share my pain.
What do you think Pam expected to happen that night?
Anybody know exactly what Kelly’s sisters said about Zach Braff?
