The Office on NBC - Page 12

Xantham Gum · 01-22-2006, 03:55 PM

I am a big fan of the UK Office series and it was satisfying to finally have Jim and Pam's British counterparts end up together in the final Christmas special show. I also like this show on its own and not as a comparison to the UK version. The fact that it is now going in its own direction is good.

Great to hear that this show will have a well-deserved 3rd season. Here's to many more to come!

*clink* cheers!

I catch this show when I can. It's great

Just wanted to let everyone know.

"The Office" will go off the air at the end of March so star Steve Carell can film a movie, Reilly said. He said he also hasn't figured out what to do with the ill-fated "Friends" spinoff "Joey," which has 12 new episodes done but no place on the schedule.

Thanks for the news, Canadian_angel

I thought tonight was funny. Imagine finding that "big delivery" in your office. Ewww What dorks...sales messing up accountings books.

. Juvenile. So very juvenile. And the part where Jim ends up in the "desk with the allergy"

. The back and forth of , I like him, does he like me...well I like her, but not in a committment way,...well, yeah, like I want committment but don't tell him that ....

Do adults still talk like that? Poor Jim becoming the intermediary in that budding relationship. Then there's Michael, who ends up believing that his "delivery" was made from LOVE.

Loved the ending with Pam's stream of messages to Jim.

So bittersweet.

I watched this show for the first time last night (usually don't like 1/2 hour comedy shows, except for Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert - love your av too, Xantham Gum) and I loved it. Steve Carrell was amazing in 40-Year-Old Virgin, so I thought I would give it a try. It's great to see Rainn Wilson as well, he was hysterical during his run on Six Feet Under. I'm definitely putting this on my TV schedule.

Thanks, that was hilarious!

I absolutely LOVE this show! I stumbled upon it 3 weeks ago - the Foreman Grill burned foot incident - wondered "what in the world? Is this for real?" - and found myself glued. It was funny! No. That's an understatement. It was like every retarded, imbecilic person you had ever worked with ... it was hilarious. It is the only show that I have LOL at for a LONG time. (Laughing at The Bachelor falls into a different category - that's pity laughing... or something... and SNL... what happened to that show? It used to be funny.) But I digress... I have not re-arranged my schedule for a TV show in a long time.

Wow! Can't wait for Thursday or when the whole series comes out in DVD...

That's when I "discovered" it too, niceshoes. The first season is out on dvd. Anyone think it is worth buying?
