I tried watching it the other night as well. I just couldn't do it. Too painful.

The British version is definitely painful, but unlike most painful sitcoms, it's worth it. Well, for me anyway.

That was the finale? With everybody complaining about each other?

Huh.

Or did I miss an episode?

(If I did, no spoilers, please.)

You missed an episode.


My reaction was about the same, supercomplicated.

So is anyone watching the third (American) season?

Jim sending Dwight faxes from his future self has surpassed Dwight admitting he absorbed his twin brother's fetus in the womb as the clip that's made me shoot iced tea out my nose the most.

That scene was hilarious. This show is still making me laugh a whole lot.

I haven't watched much of the British version but my brother says it is even funnier.

Eddie - I'm love-love-loving the third season. Every episode so far has been extremely solid. The look Jim gave Pam when she found out he directed Andy to hit on her is possibly the cutest look in all of TV history.

Dwight slapping the coffee out of Stanley's hand due to a message from the future was top quality television. I also loved Stanley's look when the "new black guy" gave him a 'represent' nod. I rewound that look about ten times. However, it still remains that the moment I laughed the hardest has to be in the first season when Dwight was summing up the Purse Girl's attributes, including her nice breasts which were important because "the Shrutes produce thirsty babies."

(I'm assuming you did, too. Congrats! I forgot to say so months ago. [Smile] )

I have two favorite moments so far this season.

The first is when Dwight and Michael go to confront the Dunder-Mifflin executive about closing the Scranton branch, and they practice the scenario, with Dwight as the executive. "Listen, Scott -- this isn't a charity. It's a business. And it's a dying business." / "He wouldn't say that! Be more scared of me." (paraphrasing)

The second is when Karen is recording her Italian-sounding answering machine message. "This is Karen-a Fili-PEL-i !"

My favorite show so far, ever, was the one where Michael "outed" the gay guy.

"Come here, come on, give me a hug..."

And the gadar backfiring on Dwight.

Priceless.

I was laughing so loud I woke mya daughter up(and annoyed her)

By the way, why is it not on tonight?????

They're on break until January or February. That's what most big shows do at about this time because most people are too busy with the holidays to actually watch the show during December and January.

If I'm not mistaken, next week's episode is a full hour. So, patience will reward us with 60 minutes of Office goodness.

(I'm not good with patience. [Mad] )

OK, I will NOT ask how you are doing, nor will I say I have missed you.
Nope, not asking or saying those things.
