I found it kind of interesting that the characters of Phyllis, Anglea, Oscar, and Creed all have the same first name as the actors.

I will admit that this episode felt kind of.... off. I can't explain it. It dragged a bit, which is from the 1 hour instead of 30 min... but something else just felt off. I dunno.

Either way, this show is awesome, and I can't wait for next week!

Sometimes the new season of this show feels that way. It feels too new, not good enough. But I think we'll look back and love it.

But I know what you mean. I think the Pam and Jim stuff is weird for us. No tension, they are just happy and walking around and it's strange.

some funny moments - but overall i only liked it "ok"

i really don't like the appeasement of chicks with the sappy jim/pam stuff

i liked the tension and flirting between the two and the dynamic that they had of not being able to be together - much more entertaining - they tried a little of how the rest of the office would respond to if they were together, but it fell really flat

i want you to walk into the face of rabies. classic.

too long of an episode though. funny, but flabby... it's much better in the half-hour format.

I re-watched "Fun Run" this weekend (on nbc.com) and I found the episode to be funnier the second time around.

Pam and Jim were so cute when they were called out by the film crew. And I REALLY am excited for some Dwight/Angela drama. The scene were she crashed into him with her chair had me howling.

I thought when they went back to the guy's office was a little over the top but overall another great episode. I liked how PB&J addressed the fan's concern of the magic being gone in their own way. Creed stole the show once again, bra.

I kind of thought the episode was just average.

It's weird...they are focusing so much on actual "relationshippy" plot lines this season...Angela and Dwight, Jim and Pam, Kelly and Ryan...it's like they've gotten away from random plots which were so hilarious, with the relationship stuff happening in the background.

Maybe it's the hour long format...it just seems like too much to me.

The car into the lake was beyond over the top. It looked pretty lame...who wouldn't be able to stop and just keep driving in?

Anyways, some funny parts...but egh, not the best.

agreed - i'm starting to miss just 30 minutes - it's like they're trying a bit too hard

i think toby and creed stole this episode - some of the dynamics with Ryan were cool

i could still live without so much relationship focus

kevin & andy had some decent dialogue with kevin kind of parroting andy

i found some parts to be really funny and others to be kind of painful
