Give them both a hand

Finally got around to watching The Office and 30 Rock, both fresh back from the WGA Strike hiatus.

The Office, continuing on the downward spiral it’s faced since season 2, paid a little homage to Arrested Development by giving Michael a Buster Bluth hand chair, while simultaneously forgetting what makes The Office good in its own right – when the characters actually occupy the titular office.

Meanwhile, 30 Rock paid the real tribute to the late, great Arrested by, well, being hilarious, sharp, meta – and including a hand-in-the-vending machine joke.

Arrested, we miss you, but at least there’s one show left to carry on your legacy.
