Tonight’s Oprah-enhanced “30 Rock,” which seems to focus more on Liz than most, is one of the funniest ever. Liz puts on a Princess Leia outfit. Ratings are way up. Watch it already.
Last week’s “Office” was one of the worst I’ve seen. The only thing I laughed at was Dwight and Andy’s conference table tug-of-war. Then I felt dirty laughing at it, because it looked like two actors desperate to get laughs that couldn’t be found in the dialogue.
Did “The Office” leave all its best material on the cutting-room floor? Deleted from last week:
Tonight:
“Customer Survey.”
Dwight (Rainn Wilson) and Jim (John Krasinski) are shocked when they get the results of the annual customer survey report. Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim decide they want to spend every minute together using their bluetooth phones. Meanwhile, Angela (Angela Kinsey) and Andy (Ed Helms) pick an unusual location for their wedding.
Next Week:
“Business Trip”
Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) is ecstatic when David Wallace (Andy Buckley) decides to send him on a business trip to Canada. Andy (Ed Helms) and Oscar (Oscar Nunez) become unlikely friends when Michael decides to bring them along on the trip. Meanwhile, Jim (John Krasinski) is counting down the days until Pam (Jenna Fischer) gets back from art school.
Nov. 20:
“Frame Toby”
A mysterious person in the office has made a huge mess in the microwave and will not clean it up. Meanwhile, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) has to come to terms with the fact that there have been certain personnel changes in his staff without his knowing.
