After the new “Michael Scott Paper Company” intro sequence for the second episode last week, we got the traditional The Office intro this week. I hate to say it, but I was a little disappointed. It made me think it was almost inevitable that Michael’s little side venture would somehow either fail or get rolled […]
See, now this two-parter is how you do those special “vacation” episodes long-running sitcoms are famous for. You know you watch them and love them.
