I'm going to get t-shirts make up that say "third half".

No one will know what the hell I'm talking about, except the truly cool.

I think it would be just fine if the writers did not get Jam togther. I watch Gilmore Girls and wanted so badly for Rory and her first love to end up together but after too much happened it was time to say good-bye. I think good writers just have to know when that time is. Anyway, enters Logan. A very cute, blonde with a great smile and lots of money...perfect for little Ms Perfect and the seasons have been gettting better and better.

I say Jim and Karen ROCK!

Two different show, yes, two different formats, yes, but the love interest equation can be done a number of ways. And though I write about these relationships (Jim and Pam, etc.) They are not why I watch the show. I watch the show because of Steve Carrell (sp.), Rainn Wilson, Mindy Kaling and that cutie John Krasinski. Pure talent and GREAT humor!!

I'm too dejected about Jim and Pam at this point to focus on them. I can understand the mindset of both -- but especially empathize with Pam's insecurity and anxiety. It's all too frustrating, so I've decided to concentrate on the other characters to cope.

How hilarious was Angela's pill box hat! She looked like a psychotic Jackie Kennedy. Kelly insisting on wearing white ... what a freak she is. And Michael -- a Toastmaster legand in his own mind.

I hope Andy is back from anger management tonight ... I miss him!

First of all Cornelius, get your fractions right. Third half? Secondly, I said the EPISODE was uncomfortable, not the entire show. I don't know how much research you did before posting your opinion, but I would suggest to you that of the posts from this episode, the consensus is that everyone loves the show but not everyone loved this episode for a variety of reasons.

It seems half the fans criticize The Office for not taking itself seriously enough, for going for the easy laughs; they are afraid that it's turning into just another sitcom.

The other half find it too dark and depressing and uncomfortable, and wish the characters would stop embarrassing themselves and making bad life choices, and just concentrate on being funny while projecting likeability (like, you know, The Brady Bunch). They wish the show would stop trying to be more than a sitcom.

The third half are quite happy with the show the way it is, and root for it to continue pushing in both directions as hard as possible, juxtaposing belly laughs and heartache, mindless farce and social criticism, neither sitcom nor soap opera. I happen to be part of that third half, and though I sometimes feel like I'm a half of one, I also feel that a show that's pissing so many people off must be doing something right.

Ya'll are CRAZY. They've hit a few bumps in the writing schemes, but that's nothing to get edgy about.
The show still rocks. And in any case there, is no reason not to watch it for laughs without the drama thing going on. Give it some time.

I have to agree with many of the comments that this episode was a little sad and uncomfortable. Michael's self-esteem must be at an all-time low, and that is saying something. Michael has always been a person who is a little (okay, a lot) clueless, but I think the writers portrayed him as embecilic in this episode. From the pre-wedding talk with Phyllis, to the toasts, to his constant need to insert himself into every wedding photo, Michael came off as someone who purposefully intended to steal the spotlight away from Phyllis. I did enjoy Dwight and I thought Angela looked so sophisticated in her dress and pillbox hat. The Jim and Pam dynamic is really getting tired. Creed, Ryan, Kevin, Toby, yeah, Toby!! You guys are the true stars of this show!!

I was thought like the series finale or something was gonna be the documentary airing.

I enjoyed the episode. I absolutely love it anytime that Dwight smirks at the camera. However, I think the show is becoming less like a mockumentary and more like a sitcom. One of the things that sets this show apart from other shows is the realism. Granted, Jim and Pam still make their guarded comments about their relationships during the talking heads instead of out and out proclamations of love, but the situations are becoming more and more outlandish.

During the Christmas special of the British version, the characters talked about how their lives had changed from being on TV. David Brent was struggling with his ignorant boss persona. I would love it if our version included the characters watching the documentary that they are supposed to be a part of, and the wacky shenanigans that would undoubtedly ensue when their private thoughts are made public.

Just saying.
