The Office, Season 4 - Episode 9 - "Dinner Party"

NBC

Michael stages an elaborate plan to finally get Pam and Jim over to his and Jan's place for a dinner party. Jim gets trapped into it and agrees to go. Dwight overhears and wants his invitation, too. Michael says he only has six wine glasses and with Andy and Angela going too, there's not enough room for Dwight. (NBC.com)

Marmot: Loved this episode.

Manatee: I thought it was a great episode! So hilarious!

Marmot: Another example of a "smaller" episode - almost all of the action took place in one location, and a small cast: most of the cast members weren't in the episode.

Manatee: Speaking of location, I loved that they left the office, and the show still works. It was a nice change to see them out of work and at a new set.

Marmot: I agree. It's been a while since we've seen Michael's house, too. Interesting to see what's happened to it.

Manatee: So true... the candle room was funny. The change in locale also gave the characters an interesting dynamic, and allowed for a funny moment with Dwight's former babysitter!

Marmot: That was so uncomfortable. Especially when he left her at the bus stop.

Manatee: Her and her retro cooler!

Marmot: It was awesome. A great episode.
