From Yahoo! TV (because NBC.com hasn't bothered to update): NEW BOSS | 03.19.09 | 9/8c PT | TV-PG Michael has big plans for his 15th anniversary party at Dunder Mifflin, but is in for a shock when the new, no-nonsense Vice President (THE WIRE's Idris Elba) has some ideas of his own. Meanwhile, Jim's prank on Dwight has some unexpected results. ---------- Well, we've been asking for it for months, and the time has finally come-- Michael has a new boss (if only for 6 episodes). Gotta say, the "wacky Michael must deal with a straight-laced superior" vibe seems like the same old thing we've had since season one. I'm hoping that the writers will surprise me and use this new character to pump some life into the tired dynamic. Despite what I said on the last podcast, this episode was written by the classic team of Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky and is being directed by Mr. Freaks & Geeks himself, Paul Feig. With that combination, I'm hoping this episode can bring a smile to Thursday Matt's tired, bitter face. As always, leave your comments below, and join Kevin and me in the TWSS Chatroom during and after the episode airs.
