"But if I'm really being honest, I never thought it would have a happy ending."
There used to be a time when The Office was an amazing series. It was smart, painfully funny, and its refreshing delivery in a mockumentary format put it above all other sitcoms at the time of its launch.
The Office: Goodbye, Michael
Posted by: Lawrence Lee • April 30, 2011 @ 9:58pm
This episode had an excellent script, which really set it apart from the rest of the episodes of the last two years. This is expected, as it was Steve Carell's final regular appearance, and the episode was written by Greg Daniels. The acting was some of the best of the series, and it really came out as Michael held back emotionally, as he went to each employee to say farewell.
The Office: Michael's Last Dundies
Posted by: Lawrence Lee • April 21, 2011 @ 9:01pm
Season two opened with The Dundies, in which this episode established that the employee award ceremony of the same name was something that just about everybody hated, making Michael that less likeable of a boss. In the five and a half years since, some things have changed.

When famous celebrities appear on The Office, they usually play a role that is completely unrelated to Dunder-Mifflin. This was true of Christian Slater, Conan O'Brien, Jack Black, Jessica Alba, and Cloris Leachman.

The material that has been carried over from the BBC version of The Office has become increasingly less over the years. Yet, there remains some storyline that has still not been covered in the American version.
The Office: Threat Level Midnight
Posted by: Lawrence Lee • February 21, 2011 @ 12:17am
The Client was one of the best episodes of The Office in accurately and fully representing Michael for who he is. In the main plot, he singlehandedly saved the branch with his phenomenal sales skills, and ended up spending the night with Jan. When Michael wanted to tell jokes, Jan limited him to just one, and he ended up phoning Pam to get a joke from his joke book.
The Office: PDA
Posted by: Lawrence Lee • February 11, 2011 @ 3:17pm
What stands out about PDA, is that it is almost an entire episode of great one-liners. None of the one-liners are out of context or character, and they are all driven by two points, the first of which is Valentine's Day.
The Office: The Search

The Search is the result of the car ride disaster running joke, and Jim's irrational overreaction in parenting.
