Episode # 42 -- "Night Out" (4/24/08)

Episode # 42 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Kevin lost in a land of Hobbits and amazons. You know, it's not the horniness... it's the LONLINESS that gets you. A string of non-Crawford-esque dates has Michael up against the wall, but nothing solves a dry spell like a night of clubbing in NYC with your coked-up boss/ex-protege. At least the man from Schrute Farm managed to PULL like a team of Clydesdales. Jim's second attempt to be Michael goes as well as the first, as he manages to g...

Sure, she's feisty, but can she fit into an average-sized rowboat? Parking problems cause Kevin and Andy to confront the five families with an offer they (hopefully) ca...

Episode # 40 -- Dinner Party (04/10/08)

Episode # 40 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds Matt and Kevin arguing about who's going to be sleeping on the bench. Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? Why, Michael Scott of course. Michael finally tricks Jim and Pam into attending a dinner party, and surely nothing awkward could happen, right? Add a healthy dose of wine, the heady stench of homemade candles, a dash of Andy-gela, Dwight (plus guest), one amazing power ballad, shake, and watch relationships explode like Diet Coke and Mentos. Here's hopi...

A bobblehead is born, JAM goes unrequited, and Michael takes on NYC like Stormin' Norman took down those Iraqis in Desert Storm.

While Jim and Pam enjoy their revenge, Dwight just might have the last laugh after all. Michael, meanwhile, struggles to raise morale in the office... and what ...

Episode # 36 -- Retro -- Health Care

Episode # 36 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds Matt and Kevin enjoying the endless perks of the gold plan. I'm hot blooded, check it and see... I've got a fever of 103... I just hope it's not a bad case of Count Choculitis! Especially now that Dunder Mifflin is cutting back on their health insurance to save some cash. When Michael's forced to be the bad guy, he passes the buck to Dwight... but who needs a health plan when they have the ability to raise and lower their cholesterol at will? The rest o...

Episode # 34 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and his surprise guest host enjoying a quick match of table tennis. Michael in the middle? When Jan sues Dunder Mifflin, Michael once again finds himself balanced between sexy- Scylla and corporate- Charybdis. Side with Jan, the love of his life, or with BFF boss Ryan (who's just as sexy as Jan, but in a different way)? Decisions, decisions... at least Flenderson's got his back. Meanwhile, Kelly's talked her last smack, and Pam's fed up with t...

Episode # 33 -- "Survivor Man" (11/08/07)

Episode # 33 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Drew enjoying a delicious sack of GORP. Survivor man, survivor man, does whatever a survivor can. When Michael is snubbed by Ryan, he decides to take to the woods, alone, to prove that he's not down with Flenderson's broken mountain lifestyle. Surely nothing could possibly go wrong out there, right? Uhm, RIGHT? Back at the ranch, Jim finds that being the boss isn't all it's cracked up to be when a birthday mutiny pushes him into Michael te...

Episode # 32 -- "Local Ad" and "Branch Wars"

Episode # 32 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds Matt and Kevin settling in to enjoy the finer things in life. It's two for the price of one this week as Michael both fires up his creative juices AND dons a mustache for justice. When Ryan doubts Michael's creativity, Michael puts his reputation on the line to produce the best commercial you've ever seen about a local paper manufacturing company. And what's this? Stanley leaving Scranton? Now I know how George Bush must have felt when Colin Powell left...

"the rest" of the writing staff fielded questions from the fans about writing for the best show on TV. Sadly, Paul Lieberstein couldn't make it out to the show this weekend, but as you can see, B. J.

Episode # 31 -- "Money" (10/18/07)

Episode # 31 of THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID finds both Matt and Ian L. seriously reevaluating their DVD purchases. They say money is the root of all evil, and for Michael Scott, the LACK of it is just as bad. With Jan around, he doesn't NEED a second job... but he has one, you know, as a hobby. Who wants to play golf anyway? Dwight opens his home to agrotourism, and Pam and Jim spend a night at the Beets Motel. One in six? I'll take those odds, mister! Andy shows he's got game, Darylley rears its ugly ...
