OK, so I have to comment a bit on TV last night. I let Grey’s have priority and watched that first and then The Office. Well, clearly, I was mistaken and should have done it the other way.
The Office
- Jammy Jam! They got engaged! I honestly was shocked. Did. not. expect their last minute lunch date to turn into THAT. It was just lovely. As much as gas station proposals can be lovely.
- I actually felt bad for Andy. That whole I’d marry you in a monsoon thing…I was like, aw, he really loves her.
- I could have sworn that Michael was going to make them all strip to make it look like they lost a bunch of weight.
- Dwight? Funny but ewwww…what is she thinking?
- The 212 thing? I’m so doing that when I go to New York next week…here I come 2 1 2.
- Ryan and Kelly? I was so proud of her for dissing Ryan but then see she is still in crazy love with him and acting childish.
- The cleansing thing was HILARIOUS to Heather and I since we were right in the middle of it this week.
- The cheesecake kick? Fabulous.
- Have I ever mentioned I LOVE JIM!
Grey’s
- That episode was just ok. I think it had too much about the medical and not enough of the drama.
- I thought Meredith was over all this whininess. I wanted some closet action!
- Not a fan of Callie and Erica AT ALL but I’m glad they aren’t jumping right into it. Glad they are like what just happened?
- What was with Alex making out with a random girl with no shirt on staring at Izzie. That was just weird.
- And I actually didn’t like the dream with Denny. Yes, I miss Denny but the scene just, I don’t know, came out of nowhere.
- The icicle not melting is driving me BANANAS!
- I do like Major Hottie and Cristina. Best thing going on in the ep.
212! I loved it! and that rap… oh my I was dying!!
I too thought that he was going to make them strip… especially Jim with his wet clothes!
-H
I agree with all your observations. Congrats to Jam!! The cheesecake kick was the best! Exactly the reason I watch the show every week.
As for Grey’s, yes the Denny dream just didn’t work. I know that Shonda said there was no truth to the Izzie brain tumor/death rumors, but didn’t you think that was foreshadowing. LOVED the army guy–I hope he comes back!

The Office took priority for me. I haven’t watched Grey’s yet, but it’s waiting on the DVR.
To me, Kelly adds little to the show now. I mean, her and Darryl – it’s just weird, especially them making out in front of Ryan. That was just random and bizarre writing to me. Most of this episode was brilliant, but I could have done without that.
I loved the proposal and how they set us up to not be expecting it!
I loved how Dwight drove Phylis out to the middle of nowhere and made her walk back! SO FUNNY! So excited for Jim and Pam too…I probably wouldn’t be more excited even if they were my own family!
Katie’s last blog post..Itinerant…
Allison, I agree the Kelly/Darryl scene was weird.
And the Phylis scene was great.
Jen, Shonda DID say in her last blog post that EVERY line in the season premiere meant something for the rest of the season. So I don’t think it’s way off base to think the brain tumor story is happening or maybe something happens to Izzie.
Haven’t watched The Office yet so I skipped to your post about Grey’s. I agree … it was just OK. I find the Izzie speculation interesting …
Callie and Erica is just weird. Seems like they’re getting together for reasons other than wanting to be together … interesting.
Watched with Chris and Shana and they were very bothered by the unmelted icicle as well … and also by the unrealistic portrayal of the Army Major.

Yeah, the icicle not melting bugged me too. It was frozen for what, at least a half hour?

Your post about Grey’s is spot on – love Major McHottie with Cristina – that scene with them kissing was great!
One question though – why does the network give us a 2 HOUR season premiere and then the next promo says, “Two Weeks from Tonight…”? Why not just have a hour premier and continue in the next week? Every hear of a cliffhanger? The 2 Hour thing kinda overloads me…
Grey’s put me to sleep last night… that’s how not great it was. Overall it was nice to “see” everyone again. But it could have been SO MUCH better. I loved the tension between Army Guy and Christina. The Denny thing … well I woke up in time to see that… I thought I was still dreaming it seemed so ridiculous. Hope it gets better!
