Agreed. I would be SHOCKED in Jim cheats on Pam.

NO way. They've built the whole Jim/Pam thing up too much, and created Jim's character too deeply to do that IMO. Not to mention it would likely alienate some of the female viewers of the show, and I'm sure it doesn't need to lose any more viewership than it already has from Carrell leaving.

+ It would be against the whole theme of the show. I can't think of 1 dark/serious story line in the entire series.

Kevin almost had skin cancer. But of course Michael made that hilarious.

Michael's character was pretty damn depressing during his last season or so

Anybody have any idea how long this Tallahassee thing will span?


They are actually going to make it 6 episodes long. I'm looking forward to the rest of them.

More like a terrible overall character. Unfunny. Pathetic. And annoying. The evolved Andy brings zero value to the show.



The less Andy the better and what I mean is that he is funny is small doses.

Doesn't change the fact that he was depressing to watch before that

Depressing is different from Dark/Serious though in my opinion. Having Jim cheat on Pam (his wife) would be pretty intense.

The Andy/Dwight/Angela love triangle was somewhat serious but you knew the show would never allow the wedding to go thru.

May have found a way to get rid of Andy as manager



I feel like that entire part of the episode was there to make Andy realize how much he has in common with Erin (because Erin seems to enjoy being receptionist although she is a moron), and come to realize how much he misses her.

It was not there to move him to a new job, rather just there to spark a flame.

Well apparently in the medicine community, negative means good. Which makes absolutely no sense. In the real world community, that would be chaos.

Found this about Ellie Kemper (Erin) --

quote:

Her father David Woods Kemper was chairman & CEO of Commerce Bancshares, a bank holding company founded by the Kemper family. (Her paternal great-great-grandfather was banker William Thornton Kemper, Sr.).

Attended Princeton University, graduating in 2002 with a degree in English. She subsequently studied English for a year at Oxford University.

I think Stanley and Jim get drunk the last night in Florida and Cathy makes her move, and Dwight stops it. Then Dwight uses it to blackmail Jim into doing all kinds of stupid stuff when they get back to Scranton or he tells Pam
