"The Office" -- Screenplay Episode

[MC]

Anyone catch "The Office" last night?

Funny -- as always -- particularly so when they discovered Michael's
screenplay in a drawer and had a table reading.

I like the way the show has grown. Hope it has enough support to stay
the course.

I think the character of Dwight is truly inspired, and much better than
the same character in the English original (Gareth?, I think his name
was).

However, the "love" story between the receptionist and the salesman
just doesn't work. There seems to be no chemistry between the two
actors, unlike the British version, where the actress that played Lucy
really sold the part.

On the American version, "Pam" is sorely in need of acting lessons, or
maybe her character could be killed off in some sort of horrible
accident (the more horrible, the better, IMHO).

As you may recall at the end of the English version, Lucy came to live
in America.

So, kill off Pam, and hire Lucy. After all, she's got experience in
the paper field.

-ADS.

I quite like Pam -- different strokes, I guess.

I agree about Dwight -- much more realistic and amusing.

My issue with the Jim/Pam story in the US version is that it's going to play
out forever without any resolution. The original had 12 episodes plus the
Christmas special which wrapped up all the loose ends.

P.S. I also think Jenna Fischer (Pam) is very cute.

Well you could say that nothing about The Office -- on either side of
the pond -- leads to any kind of real resolution. Which, as far as I'm
concerned, is part of the charm.

"The Office" Uk version. Inspired, to say the least!

One of my favs, ever.

I liked her very much, but only after I saw her in the extras on the first
season DVD. She has a most infectious laugh and couldn't talk about the
series or the characters without breaking down in guffaws.
