Never really got into the show, always liked it, never recorded it. But the more channels they syndicate it on the more I saw and the more I enjoyed it.
Still, last nights ep was great. Even though I havent followed the whole Jim/Pam thing from the start, like everyone else and their mom, I was still drawn in by the whole love story.
And of course it had me laughing more than a few times like most office episodes.
I guess you can already assume how I feel about that kind of stuff, but I really was touched by Jim and Pam's wedding last night. It was very cute, heartwarming and I loved the parody of the youtube wedding dance video.
I loved the wedding and the vomit fest. Very touching.

Yeah, that defiant vomiting in the trashcan was hilarious.
hahaha yeah dwights face at the end of the madness.
and the dancing to the alter was the best. I wanna go to a wedding like that... as long as its not mine.
I couldn't dance to the altar like that; that kind of free-spirited joy just isn't in my nature. Maybe if I was drunk, but even then the prohibition on unadulterated mirth in my life would probably make me reserved and self-conscious the entire time. Life is suffering after all, as they say.
I enjoyed the episode, even though at first I didn't see how a wedding had anything to do with the office and office life. I think they mixed in funny and heart-warming moments with the serious character-building scenes very well, meanwhile creating some new storylines for the future.
One goof: Pam calls Jim to take Andy to the hospital and he can't because he's drunk, then they flash to his night out with Michael and Dwight and he seems completely sober.

This show is amazing. It is funny and has characters I actually care about. The Office wedding (between Jim and Pam if you didnt already know) was one of my favorite episodes of any show I have seen....ever. It is one of the few shows thats on that dares to be different and is spectacular as a result.
Saw the episode on channel 27 about Ryan burning the building down and Dwight singing that hilarious song at the end. But the best one of the new season was PARKOUR!!!
No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you when he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."

Just saw this week's episode "The Lover". Excellent episode. All of the humour and awkwardness of the early Office seasons, with Pam getting to show a little emotion and Michael endearing himself to the audience in spite of his foolishness. Dwight and Jim have a great side story, with Dwight showcasing both his cleverness and ridiculousness at the end of the show.
A++.

The father-daughter like tension between Michael and Pam was absolutely hilarious. Kind of frightening at first to see Pam so upset, but I guess I could dig it. I'm still not over Holly leaving Michael, though! I still think she was the best. D:
Lol it suprised me..... "Why would I leave a listening device in a wooden duck" or something like that, way too genius. Oh yah also downloaded season 1 and 2. Didn't know Michael was a great salesman I thought he got that job by luck or some stupid chance, now I see why Dwight looks up to him.Originally Posted by Animeniax

I waited until the show was in season 3 to start watching from season 1 and I feel ridiculous for waiting so long. It's a great series. At the end of season 5 I was thinking the series could be wrapping up soon, but season 6 has been pretty great. Let's hope the show continues for a while and continues to be entertaining.

I think the show needs to wind down and go out in style. The 6th season has been pretty bad, with only a few good episodes that do the series justice. They need new writers or just to stop before this show fades with a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
The Erin/Andy romance is pointless and soulless. Who really cares if these two get together or not? The Andy character sucks period. He was funnier as a schemer/sycophant than as the bumbling dunce they've turned him into.
And the entire "Dunder Mifflin going out of business" has been one long boring setup to what is hopefully a worthwhile conclusion, but it's doubtful.

Yeah, so this last episode was pretty boring. I hardly laughed at any of the jokes, which is a shame because this show is so funny; at least it used to be. They either need to get their act together or just start winding down and, as Animeniax suggested, go out in style.
The last episode where either Jim or Michael has to return to sales was actually pretty funny. I laughed out loud several times.
But it looks like the writers are still going week by week instead of thinking long term, which might suggest the show is on its last legs. They could have easily extended the material in this episode for 2 or 3 shows, but instead they resolve the issues too quickly and easily in this one episode. Michael and Jim could have been fighting for the sales job for a few episodes and Jim could have had a lot of fun as manager. Kelly and Andy could have had a fun non-relationship for a few episodes. Would have been great material.
Kathy Bates' character has no soul and she doesn't work well with Michael's character like Jan or David Wallace did, but that could also be because the Michael character has evolved into an unlikable dunce instead of a likable one.

I was the complete opposite. I barely even chuckled watching this episode, except for maybe when the dogs were sniffing and licking everyone's crotches. Otherwise, there were just crickets in here, which was disappointing because usually I'm dying of laughter.
M'gonna double post here since the last episode just aired.
I was very happy with the return. I laughed way more than I did when they left off before the Olympics aired. It was so refreshing to be able to laugh again like I used to watching this show. I just wonder how long it's going to last.
I wonder is it a problem with the writers or the characters? We know them so well at this point, they can't expand on them much without changing them into different people and that would suck anyway.
I don't like how the writers are resolving issues/relationships so quickly and efficiently. There's gold in some of the material that only got an episode and was done.

I haven't watched this season yet, but the show has been renewed for next season.
I just watched the latest episode, it was about the same as recent episodes. Dwight is back in form, the Jim/Pam pregnancy thing is the central story of the episode, and Michael is as obnoxious as ever.
I think I've figured out why the show isn't as funny as before, and it's all about the Michael character. He's no longer endearingly funny, more obnoxiously unfunny, like he's trying too hard but failing miserably. Without the lead character leading, this show stumbles.
