There are no Stanley Trees

here to stay

I haven't watched Survivor yet, so in the meantime we should talk about The Office. So, the Scranton branch isn't closing after all! No one, aside from Jim's Stamford boss, seems to be leaving! Jim and Pam will be reunited! With, of course, the introduction of Jim's new chicky...who I like, there's nothing wrong with her, but she's not Pam. And I realize there must be tension in the plot to make a good story or whatever. But writers, please take note that this is a comedy, not a dramedy, so even if you must drag it out for a year or more, Jim and Pam must be together in the end. Thank you, and that is all.

I so, so look forward to Jim's return to Scranton, and his new position as Michael's second. I have so missed his live and in person torturing of Dwight K. Schrute. And even though faxes from Future Dwight to Present Dwight will likely cease, other amusements will take its place.

Any other thoughts?

Dear Jeff Probst,
I have to confess that The Office might now be my favorite show. Maybe it has been for awhile, and I just didn't admit it. Survivor remains, however, a close second, and my number one favorite reality show. I'm still sorry, though, if your heart is a little broken.
Still your fan 4-evah,
penelope

Season 3 has been almost unwatchable.

How cool was it that Jim's new co-worker was scary when his calulator was sealed in jello, compared to Dwight's reaction. Poor Jim, no one in the office to play with. So good to have him back with the old gang. Loved the bit with Dwight saving Stanley from the poisoned coffee

Maybe I am out of touch, but with this year's shows, everything feels forced and contrived (like Season 4 of Curb Your Enthusiasm).
