The Office

Rarely do I think a show I enjoy should quit while they are ahead. A few weeks ago I started to think this about one of my favorite shows, The Office. I felt they were kinda “jumping the shark” when they did the Michael Scott Paper Company plot ark, again when the promoted Jim to co-manager, and especially when Dunder Mifflin got bought out by a printer company. Tonight’s episode has restored some of my faith in The Office, though. It seems like they are trying to get back to some of the basics that made the show great. Jim and Dwight having a normal rivalry, unlike how they tried to make Dwight almost evil in his despite for Jim. Michael being the sole quirky boss. Ryan being a temp an his relationship with Kelly. I really like that they are bringing back the Dwight and Angela hidden romance. Since the Jim and Pam deal is pretty much sealed, I really hope they start to emphasize the Andy and Erin romance. That could sort of replace the initial Jim and Pam thing, but they need to move forward with it. I know they will never bring Holly back, but I really miss that story line. I really like this show, and I hope they can get it back on track.

That’s all. Sorry for discussing television that was not LOST.
