As much as I liked seeing Jim and Pam head down that road, I also know what ongoing TV shows do with couples audiences root to be together. Let's hope this one gets handled better than another from this week. And, yeah, Fischer was particularly cute this episode. I guess it's good when Pam is...
Actually, since the S1 pilot it's been covering different ground. There may have been some overlap, but only superficially. They've really been different shows since S1.
Great episode - sweet and hilarious. Stanley getting up in Ryan's grill was awesome! Another great moment to have a DVR. And Angela's pleasure in Dwight's immature retort was highly disturbing.
I'm actually laughing more at the memory of it than when it happened. :confused:
Not meaning to turn this into a Lollilove discussion, the characterizations were just too broad to be effective. Usually mockumentaries have people who are pretty much normal but have some quality that makes them off and that's the focal point of the humor. Or the characters just play it...
I wasn't able to finish it - I'm not sending it back right away because I'd like to give it another chance as a Jenna Fischer fan, but I don't have much hope my mind will be changed by watching 50 more minutes of it. I really wanted to like it though!
I can't help rooting for the Michael and Jan hook up.
I think it's more like of all the AUTHENTIC pizza joints in New York he picks a chain you can find in every suburban mall. Same with the Bubba Gumps and Red Lobster. Well, maybe not Gumps.
Because it's a TV show? :) I don't necessarily want them to hook up; I just would like something other than pining. In real life if you had a friend who couldn't either make the move or move on to someone else, and you were the constant audience to his holding pattern, it wouldn't take long...
I was hoping that too, just so Jim would get out of his rut. The Kelly character is a crack up, though I would probably develop a desk allergy too if I had to share a space with her.
Oh, that was painful to watch. Although now Michael knows his secret and you know that's not a good thing. I was also excited to see Amy Adams, but I suppose that was the last we'll see of her now.
On the first viewing I was really rather annoyed with Michael, but after watching the Christmas ep again I was laughing quite a bit. For some reason I expected him to be a normal person during the holidays. :)
Like with the British series the stuff between the "we're just friends" couple makes my heart ache. I was impressed that the guy who got fired could rattle off his "not shit list" so quickly :)
