I love The Office--both the Brit and American versions are really quite funny--although folks never wanted to give the American one a chance, I think it has more than proved itself of being hilarious in it's own way. One of my favorite things about the American one is that there seems to be much more stuff on Jim playing pranks on Dwight than the old Brit series ever did.

One of my favorite gags was the "Gaydar" .

One of my favorite Jim gags was sending Dwights faxes from the future.

It's taken a huge departure from the source material but I love it just the same.  It's a very, very funny show that everyone in comedy wants to work on and because of that you get a lot of great talent in front of and behind the camera.  Joss Whedon's episode where Jim convinces Dwight that he's turning into a vampire is one of my favorites.  Paul Feig who was behind Freaks and Geeks has also directed a couple of episodes that stand out as my favorites.  Additions of guys from The Daily Show also helps out enormously.  I didn't think the Dunder Miflin staff could be any better until Andy Blacksmith was introduced.

The Office is at it's best when Jim is pulling something on Dwight or Andy.And Pam is a great sidekick.

lol........remember when Dwight tried to give Jim a tardy slip for being late?

One of the best opening scenes ever.............

best opening scene ever is when Jim put all of Dwight's stuff in the vending machine

I don't get to watch too much TV but last week I watched this show for the first time (The Christmas Paty episode) and I haven't laughed that hard in a long long time. 

Ed, Ego and Superego

I watched a few episondes on DVD... Diversity Day, Health Plan, and the birthday party. 
It was very funny, but some of the situations were wince inducing.   I work for that sort of company, NOT my department luckily.

I love watching that show.  I will also admit that I watch it because Pam and Karen are two fine looking ladies. :thumbup: :wink: :cheers:

My favorite episode to be honest is all of them.  There isn't an episode that I did not like.

Question, who else went, WTH, when Jim broke up with Karen?

I knew it was coming, but I think that she was a better person for Jim.

Later,

I agree.  I like Pam.  But, Karen and Jim just seemed 'right.' In my mind, there's NO WAY a guy like Jim would blow off a Karen like that.
