Man, we were pausing this episdoe ever couple scenes to laugh. Creed's blog? OMG. I thought Lance was going to stop breathing, he was laughing so hard.
Michael and Jan... sigh.... just another moment that prooves Michael may be a doof sometimes, but he cares about people, he had to tell her. I'm really hoping they start giving Michael some balls and he becomes a fully decent person by the end of this show. I heart him way too much!!
And Jim & Pam.... PERFECT. I really hope all next season is a fun "trying to hide it from the rest of the office" running gag.
I remember when "The Office" used to mean humor by cringe. The US version never really pursued that the way the UK version did, but there was some of that flavor.
Last nights episode was funny and sweet. In other words, just another sitcom. Sure, I liked the ending too, but the show has lost what little edge it had.
People hate it when Michael is just an outright asshole. American folks like their comedies to have more of a sweet tone, so it works better when Michael is more bumbling than a jerk.
Is it wrong that they've changed the show some to match their audience? I don't know. Maybe. But they're still on the air and it is still funnier than most other sitcoms.
