Dilbert is about over, but talk about this week's episode, featuring Jerry Seinfeld, here!

Episode 211 "The Return"
Original Airdate - February 22, 2000
Story by Larry Charles - Teleplay by Ned Goldreyer & Larry Charles & Scott Adams - Directed by Mike Kunkel
Dilbert buys a new computer over the Internet. He has it sent to work so that he can show it off, but the package that the Pointy-Haired Boss signs for, is not what Dilbert ordered. Dilbert tries to complain, but finds out that his own company provides the support for Comp-U-Comp's complaint line. Dilbert finds out where Comp-U-Comp is located and goes to complain to whoever's in charge. Comp-U-Comp is a company that is runs by a computer that also runs the world. Comp-U-Comp challenges Dilbert to games of chess, badminton and Scrabble to get his replacement computer; but as usual, it's up to Dogbert to save the day when he finds the guy who guards Comp-U-Comp's plug.

Bah! They left out the part when someone defines what the word means. Sienfeld was priceless in this episode. I loved when he turned into a game of pong.

Jerry Seinfeld was great in this episode. I wonder what that new word means.

Dogbert was great at the end also. That was a pretty good strategy he put on at the end, although Wally actually did something useful like ask for beverages to begin with.

It seems like we'll never find out the Pointy-Haired Boss' real name, but at least if he ever came to life, I could refer to him as Bob Johnson or Eunice. "Oh no, not Eunice!"

And the pocket watches were great too! Did anyone notice some of the stuff that comes out of Dilbert's knife?

Bah! They left out the part when someone defines what the word means.

I don't remember that part, but I think it was fairly implied when the reporter used the phrase "in deep wipqozn". This was a good episode, with the best moments provided by the Comp-u-Comp.

****1/2

Once again I have finally watched my tape and I remember seeing this one back on UPN—it's a great one.

Jerry Seinfeld was great as Comp-U-Com and might be the funniest guest star yet. Just something about the tone of his voice just worked very well.

The three contest challenge between Dilbert and Comp-U-Com was great stuff. The badminton match was the best one. Poor Dilbert was hitting it as hard as he could and it was just bouncing off of Comp-U-Com.

Eugene Levy was great as the security guard. It took me a minute, but once I realized it washim and then checked the credits I thought it was cool.

Dogbert once again saves the day!
