There's a great line by Michael Scott at the end of Thursday night's episode, as he, Oscar, Andy and Dwight are sprinting out of the Dunder-Mifflin shareholders' meeting to steal a limo from a company executive.

Anyone who has suffered through this recession working for — or getting laid off by — a company top-heavy with senior management and short on survival strategies had to cheer Michael's explanation for claiming a fat cat's ride back to Scranton.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that NBC is reversing its earlier decision not to renew the freshman medical series "Trauma."

The site says sources at NBC have told them that NBC is not only producing all 13 episodes from their original order, but that they plan to order more.

So far, there has been no confirmation from NBC.

A recent increase in ratings was cited as the reason for the network's reversal. There's some interesting speculation on that ratings theory here at TVByTheNumbers. 

Daniel Wright's second appearance on "The Biggest Loser" may have been more emotional than the first.

The Willow Spring man (he's just 20) was the heaviest contestant in the show's history, weighing 454 pounds. At that first finale weigh-in, he was down 142 pounds to 312.

When he was eliminated this week, Daniel had lost another 56 pounds on the show, but better, he gained a lot of insight. During the second chances season, he struggled to lose weight, partly he says, because he wasn't sure he deserved a second chance.

"I was struggling internally," he says. "I was dealing with whether I should be there. By week 8 or 9 I figured out I shouldn't think that way."

Lamest episode of "The Office" ever? It hasn't been brought to a vote by the Happiness is a Warm TV blog's high tribunal, but consider yourselves on notice, Office writers.

Your once great show has devolved into the weak link in NBC's Thursday night comedy lineup, fourth behind an inconsistent 'Community' show that would have you believe community colleges have dorms on campus for international students.

Thursday night's episode wraps up Michael's ill-fated relationship with Pam's mom.

The last time Happiness spoke with "The Biggest Loser's" Tracey Yukich, a Raleigh native, the show had not begun airing yet, and she sounded upbeat, strong and confident.

So as we got ready for this chat it occurred to us that, back then, she may not have known how she was going to come across on TV. And we were right.

"I had no idea," says Tracey. "When I was sitting with my kids watching the show, I didn't know what was coming."

Note: DirecTV is airing episodes of Friday Night Lights ahead of NBC. Recaps of each week's episode will be posted after the jump.

What's Buddy Garrity saying?

SPOILERS: Don't keep reading unless you want to read about season four.

Don't start your weekend without watching Kelly Kapoor and Erin Hannon star in their first music video, "Male Prima Donna."

The Office characters have started their own female musical duo, Subtle Sexuality, with the help of Nard-Dog (Andy) and Mr. Understood (Ryan). The first song, clearly about a certain office temp with a skinny tie, is catchy and Auto-tuned enough to be a bona fide top 40 hit. 

The group's website has a link to the video, the Mindy Kaling-directed webisodes behind the group and the complete lyrics. 

So, get on board. "You're a male prima donna / But I can't help but want 'cha / I'm an independent diva /But I still kinda need ya..." is the new "If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it..."

It's Halloween at Glendale Community College, and everyone's excited. We're just seven episodes into this show's strong first season, but we know by now that mass excitement can only lead to disaster. And hilarity.

Annie decides to host a "Danza de los Muertos" party so she'll get extra credit in Spanish class - but mostly so she can throw her first successful party in the school's library. It's all part of her sad but endearing pursuit to be cool.

Meanwhile, Jeff finally sets his sights on a new woman (the unsatisfying Jeff/Britta will-they-or-wont-they plot was beginning to drag) - his statistics professor. Unlike Britta, Professor Short Skirt says she's interested but won't date students, even if they're older than she is. Hints of Britta's jealousy are subtle, thankfully, which plays out much more naturally. Shirley, meanwhile, is more visibly upset about the Jeff's flirtation - but she's just projecting anger because her ex-husband visited and asked for her wedding ring back earlier. Ouch.

Pity the costumed children of the Scranton Industrial Park Community who had to settle for a Halloween tour of what Michael Scott tried to convince them was the spookiest warehouse in the world.

Little did they know that Michael's "[Junk] in a Box" homage to Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's classic Saturday Night Live video would be the highlight of Thursday's tepid episode of The Office. At least the kids got off easy with a ride on Darryl the Gangsta Pumpkin's pallet truck of doom.

Maybe they were scarred for life by Michael, giftwrapped box affixed to his crotch, swinging from a noose and reminding them that suicide is never the answer, but at least they got to go home. The rest of us were stuck enduring the rest of an episode that plunged into Yawnville after that promising opening.

Season four of "Friday Night Lights" begins tonight, but unfortunately for most of us, only for DirecTV subscribers.

As with the cost-sharing agreement for season three, season four of "Friday Night Lights" will air first in its entirety on DirecTV and then on NBC in late spring or early summer of 2010. The critically-acclaimed drama about a football-obsessed small town in Texas stars Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton (left).

NBC hasn't done right by the show, but this DirecTV deal is better than cancelling it altogether. Kyle Chandler summed it up nicely in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times: “The first year we were up against ‘American Idol.’ The second year was the writers strike. The third year we get cut down to 13 episodes. I just assumed that while we had a solid base, the numbers wouldn’t go out the roof."
