STARRING: Steve Carell (Daily Show, Get Smart), John Krasinski (Leatherheads), Jenna Fischer (Blades of Glory) Rainn Wilson (Six Feet Under)CREATORS: Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant (Extras, BBC’s The Office), Greg Daniels (King of the Hill, Simpsons, SNL)
PLOT: Awkwardness abounds in the cubicle offices of a paper supply company. The show is shot documentary-style.
FIVE OBSERVATIONS
4What’s most amazing about this show is the fact that they still are able to get loads of laughs from relatable office experiences. The phone call practice between Jim and Dwight that happened a couple of weeks ago (directed by creator Stephen Merchant no less) was some of the best comedy I’ve seen and heard in a long time. Keep these masterful scenes coming!
4 Absolutely loved the Michael Scott-in-love storyline this season. Holly was the perfect girl for him. It just made the breakup in the truck (with Darryl driving) all the more awkward and sad.
4 Separating Jim and Pam made their relationship more realistic but it’s nice to have them back together again.
4 I’ve been half and half on the Dwight-Anglea-Andy love triangle. Dwight is getting some great stuff but Angela is coming off almost too mean. I’m starting to feel sorry for Andy and his utter cluelessness.
4 I’ve been missing some of the supporting characters this season. Kevin had way more one-liners last year. Him and Kelly have the best talking head segments. More please.
