It was only a couple of weeks ago that I said right in this very forum that The US Office wasn't bad. As has already been said to death, the first two seasons are really good once they started to forge a path away from the British version. But then an odd thing happened. The more soap opera they added to the show, the more people loved it! Jim and Pam finally got together to the delight of every cunt on the internet but then the writers were faced with a problem: how do they maintain the dramatic tension? The answer for this season was to fabricate non-problems like moving Pam 3 hours away for a 3 month school program. Or an episode where Jim and Pam miss each other's calls all day. They keep leaving voicemail! I hope their love is strong enough to survive this! (SPOILER: it is, because Jim is a fucking saint!)
My understanding is that three of the writers for the Office operated the website Fire Joe Morgan, which was a site that spoke to the terrible baseball writing we see in North America. "Was" is the operative word, because they announced that they would no longer have time to update the site. There is a lot of terrible baseball writing, and for the most part it was an entertaining site. ... Although of the three of them, one (Junior) was a sniveling little weasel that somehow made himself come off worse than people that still believe that wins and batting average are important metrics with which to judge baseball players.
So maybe you'll see better The Office episodes now that they can really focus?
