You know it’s a great world we live in when you get to watch two damaged Merediths on one night…nay…within the same hour. It’s an even greater world when you get to watch people do insane things over a shiny object.

Over on The Office we were treated to Meredith getting whacked in the face by Pam’s “Don’t call me Eli” football pass, and then over on Grey’s Anatomy we’re witnesses to Mere being metaphorically whacked in the face by the sight of an unbelievably chipper Derek and Rose. Sakes alive, those two should be in toothpaste commercials.

Then we have something shiny under Stanley’s car on The Office which results in Michael getting a full peanut butter head massage by Dwight (watch out…Bliss will have it on its services menu in a week), and a shiny Sparkle Pager which prompts our Grey’s residents to continue to act like immature, moronic interns. Really? Sparkle Pager?

Any opinions on last night’s TV? We watched Survivor, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost (which should just be renamed Killed)…and we caught up with The Office this morning. I have to say, The Office is back…in a weird, twisted, unsettling sort of way. I must admit, I did feel a bit of redemption at watching Ryan’s inexperienced Millenial attempt at bringing Dunder Mifflin into the 22nd century sort of fall apart. My favorite part? Dunder Mifflin Infinity two-pause-oh…to be released…TBD. Heh.

Oh…and I was hoping the “extra layer” of the chocolate cake on last night’s Survivor would have been chocolate bug frosting. Or maybe some sort of nasty-ass “fruit” filling.
