Absolutely. The Michael-Jan relationship was a masterpiece of dysfunction. And frankly, I love Jim and Pam. No reason a couple can't be funny acting as a happy entity. Kind of a novel concept for a comedy, isn't it?

At the start of the season they made Michael stupid (like retarded stupid) instead of deluded, and nasty (like Cheney nasty) instead of stubborn or bullheaded.

Every wonderful thing you've heard is true.

A friend of mine loaned me the first season of The Wire, but we still haven't watched it.

I have the first season of Extras, but I've never watched it. Maybe that'll be my next stop for cardio television after I finish with The Wire.

Ricky Gervais once said (and I'm paraphrasing): "When people say to me 'I don't think David Brent or Michael Scott are funny' I tell them you don't think they're funny because YOU are a David Brent." I really love both versions of the show and don't mind all the "uncomfortable" episodes because, well, it reminds me of the brilliance of the original version. Are you a fan of Extras? That's also pretty wonderful. A very similar character to Brent, but he's a bit more sympathetic. One of my favorite episodes is when David Bowie basically rips Gervais a new one by singing a song about him in a piano bar. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I dunno. I felt like they took Michael Scott in a "Homer" direction this season, like when he drove the car into the pond. I still enjoyed the season overall, and have no problem with Jim and Pam being together -- I just hope they don't continue to make Michael's actions so stupid that I can't see any motivation behind them.

Thanks for the tip. It's taken me a while to get Ricky Gervais and the British version, which was a brilliant work of art, out of my head when watching the Office, but now I consider the American version to be equally brilliant. I'm hopeless at following tv schedules, though, so the box set it is. I'm doing it now.
