Dwight returns to Tallahassee and competes with Todd Packer (David Koechner) to impress the president of Sabre's special projects, Nellie Bertram (Catherine Tate). Meanwhile, in Scranton, Andy dodges requests by the staff for raises Director and writer: TBA ___________________ Urgh. The return of Nellie, a character that I HATED when she was introduced during last season's "Search Committee." Thankfully the show went with Robert California as the office manager, but like a bad dream they just can't let go of Catherine Tate and the extremely annoying character of Nellie. Perhaps we'll see a "new" Nellie who might not be so bad. We'll see... - TWSS Kevin

Since it seems like this podcast is finished and I'm not going to bother to watch The Office anymore, I guess this is goodbye. Thanks for all of the hours of entertainment your podcasts have given me, and I hope that Matt and Kevin are both proud of what they have accomplished with the show and the website.

Hi, I've been listening for awhile and really hope twss gets back on its feet. I actually find the recent episodes pretty amusing and would love to hear your commentary. TWSS has pulled me through many a bad episode, and has become something I look forward to with as much fervor as The Office. On an off note, I always heard about the amazon percentage donation, but I've never been able to spot the link? I'm not quite sure if perhaps it expired or whether my browser settings are too strict? Any answers would be appreciated =]

Maybe it's just me, but I'm loving the Tallahassee story line. Aside from the appendix bit, there's a lot of good stuff going on. Packer and Dwight are a great combo. Awkward/embarrassed Jim is great to watch, but can they make Cathy any dumber? You'd think after the 'I'm married bit' she would have gone running and not taken her robe off, but the resulting bedbug frenzy was totally worth it. Nellie turned out to be not so bad and with the resultant Dwight and Jim in bed together made the whole 2 episode story arc all worth while. Really missing the podcast. I feel like it's a "Will he, won't he" moment. :)

Kevin: It looks as if the podcast is dead, we appreciate you trying to keep the website going but I dont think many people are going to comment anymore since there hasnt been a podcast since Dec. Its a shame because I really enjoyed listening to you guys but I know for Matt this was more of a hobby thing and Im sure at times he felt as if it was unappreciated. Some of us fans feel unappreciated as well by the horrible reliability and constant excuses from Matt.

I could simply watch that cold open over and over again, and I'd be happy. Did I miss something? The original episode description said something about a conflict regarding raises, yet as far I as I can tell, this was never brought up within the episode. Given that we've already seen David Brent on the show, I wonder if the Tallahassee crew will run into Lee as a more esoteric link back to the original.

I have to say that I am starting to warm up to the Tallahassee story line. Jim's prank in the cold open was probably the best in years. I'm not a fan of what they're trying to do with the Kathy/Jim subplot, but I'm guessing that it will likely be just a simple one-sided crush that will end in Jim as the respectable and responsible husband/father. I also can't help but wonder...since David Brent has already made his way onto The Office, will the Tallahassee crew somehow run into Lee (Dawn's ex) as yet another, but more esoteric, connection to the original?

I was also dreading the return of Catherine Tate's character but I thought it worked a lot better here. It wasn't great and at times it felt like they were channeling a female David Brent, but far less annoying than in the season 7 finale. I thought the rest of the episode was pretty solid. Packer's back, Dwight once again refuses to quit and funny times more or less throughout.
