Traveling Salesmen & The Return

I don't usually plug episodes of "The Office" but I recently bought and downloaded "Traveling Salesmen" and "The Return", written by Michael Schur, Lee Eisenberg & Gene Stupnitsky.

It's a two-parter that just aired and it's so fucking good. I had seen cuts of it, obviously, before it aired, and read the scripts a million times, but they were still a total delight to watch.

The three guys, Gene, Lee and Mike - who have never written together - had barely a week to come up with two episodes, and these might very well be my two of my series favorites. Almost every character in our enormous cast has a moment of total in-character hilariousness. It's also pretty amazing because Lee, Gene and Mike are a bunch of fucking idiots so whenever they do something good I'm like "Wow. Didn't expect that."


Price: $3.98 (for both) on iTunes. While you're at it, download "Tracy does Conan" from 30 Rock, which has one of the funniest lines of any show this season, when Liz Lemon asks Jack why he's wearing a tuxedo and he responds: "It's after six. What am I, a farmer?"
