The Office is BACK… And Now GONE Agan!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I thought this season of “The Office” on NBC started out as great as all the others. Then, enter the writer’s strike… Many precious weeks of laughs lost.

After the writer’s strike I could see some rusty red-brown.

Not that is wasn’t funny. Hey, I would take the worst episode of “The Office” over the best episode of “Home Improvement” or “According to Jim” any day. It was just not AS funny.

But last night’s season finale was PERFECT. Vintage “The Office”… Jim & Pam, Dwight & Angela, Andrew Bernard… AND MICHAEL!

The magic and chemistry (of the cast) that makes this show was back big time in the finale!

Watching Jim work so hard to keep Michael from moving too fast with the new Toby replacement — you know, the one Michael claims he loves!

Seeing the new Toby replacement (boy, I need to lookup her name — it’s HOLLY) interact with Kevin all the time thinking he is “special”.

Learning that Jan is pregnant, but not with Michael’s baby — she got some of the good stuff from the sperm bank because “maybe if I were younger, I’d let Michael be the father of one of my children, but not now, not when it counts.” (she’s getting older).

Then seeing poor Michael miss out on an opportunity too go out with a clearly interested Holly when she hints she would like to got out and get some desert. She ends up going with Kevin. You know, the “special” one.

Ahh, “The Office”. This season reminds me of many a football season as a Chicago Bears fan. They start strong then take a big loaf in the middle of the season… Then, they start picking up momentum again only to end the season with a big win! But, no playoffs. Hey, that was the Bears LAST season!

Anyway, I will miss you Dwight, Michael, Jim, Pam, Inmate Ryan, Kevin, and others. See you next season!
