Why? Because Jim and Pam got together? Let me guess, you're one of those fans of the British version and loved the first couple seasons because the plot was nearly identical and its just "so pivotal" to the dynamic that Jim and Pam keep up their "will they or won't they" crap? There's a reason The Office has changed so much the last couple years, and that's because it had to. The British version lasted a whopping two seasons. The show actually has to evolve and have character development or else it would get repetitive and boring. I'm sure its pisses you off that the show has gotten out of the nice little corner you'd hemmed it into, but believe it or not the plot had to evolve past fleeting glances between Jim and Pam and Jim putting Dwight's shit in jello. Get over it.

I actually never watched the British version until a couple months ago.  And obviously the Jim and Pam thing had to end.  Keeping that crap going is what ruins most TV shows.  I just think that since that point, the show has gone downhill.  Not because of that relationship, but because the entire tone of the show changed.  I'm all for character development, but I just don't like the way they've developed most of the characters.  Sue me.  I think it's stupid that Michael went from being a little naive and kind of a dick who was bad at his manager job, but still seemed to be a fairly competent guy at times (from what I've seen of the British version, that's pretty similar to Ricky Gervais' character), to a lovable idiot.  I think it's stupid that Ryan, Pam and Jan all changed personalities almost to the point where the only similarities between their characters in seasons 1-3 and season 4 was that they had the same names.

I'm not against the reasoning for why the show changed so much after season 3.  A show has to change to keep from being repetitive.  But I just think they took it in a bad direction.  I apologize that the rest of you think it's still awesome and I do not.  Please, continue with the Weebs-hate.

I sure hope you take a shot at explaining how Jim's personality has changed since the start of the series.  One might suggest that his motivation has changed, since he's actually maturing and thinking about his career, which would be realistic.  But his personality is exactly the same.  You know how I can tell?  Because John Krasinski can play exactly one character, and that character is Jim Halpert.

I see Eli just FACED me, but fuck it.  I'm posting, anyhow.

Incidentally, I don't think Ryan's personality has changed much, either.  He's always been an arrogant party person who thought he was too good for his temp job, and certainly thought he was better than everyone else in the office (most notably Jim, Michael, and Kelly).  Once he got exposed to "the scene," he got out of control.  I think he's been pretty consistent, honestly.

Apparently both of you can't read, so I'm not going to take a shot at explaining something I never said in the first place.

I agree that Ryan was always arrogant, but just like Pam, he also was pretty quiet.  In the span of that one summer between seasons 3 and 4, they both became incredibly talkative and outgoing.  That's what I think changed the most between those two seasons.  Some of the best moments in seasons 1-3 were when there was little to no dialog, focusing more on the awkward pauses in a conversation.  Starting with season 4, it's like the writers decided there always needs to be some kind of dialog or outrageous sight gag.  Those first three seasons had a lot more laughs with a lot less dialog.

How can everybody else in the world think that the show has gotten better, yet you hate it?  
Most people in the real world change over the course of 4 years.  Look at RV.  He used to be a beer bonging, chick drilling, UHaul driving, chadmachine.  Now, he's old and fat and married and domesticated.  Look at yourself.  4 years ago you were a little nerdling playing video games all day with your chums and thinking life couldn't get any better.  Ok, so maybe that's not the best example.  But people change.  They wrote the characters to change b/c they, you know, have a job and shit happens at a job that causes you to change how you behave.

Went to a "Rock Band Bar Night" out in Wheaton last night.  The People from Harmonix came and brought The Beatles Rock Band along with the Ringo kit, Pauls Hofner, and Georges Gretsch.  So fucking cool.  The game was really great looking.  Completely different playing it than just seeing some videos and screen shots.  The controllers are sooooo much better than the regular RB controllers.  They just feel so much more solid and look so damn cool.  I loved how the Hofner had the ring of light thing on the bottom exactly where the jack is.  The whole thing was just awesome.  I wasn't sure how the vocals with harmonies worked but it's nothing complicated really.  All vocals are just one player and that one players score. 

They'll be at Beatles Fest this weekend too with the demo.

Was that at Muldoon's?

Stay the fuck out of Wheaton.

People go to bars to show off their video game skills now?

I'm pretty sure that's what Dave & Buster's and GameWorks are counting on.

I thought they built those so "adults" had an excuse to go to an arcade and not be labeled a pedo?

How fucking hard would it have been for Laird to--oh, I don't know--changed the sequence?

You obviously have no idea how difficult it is to do that with catcher's equipment on.  That shit is heavy.  And he'd have to run all the way out to the mound and talk about stuff.  You have no FUCKING CLUE HOW HARD IT IS.

I don't either. 
Fork?  Little help here?

The new neighbor chick had some huge knockers. Other than that the show was forgettable.

Shut up Weebs, you're mentally retarded.

I don't even get why the past episode would be the one to make Weebs hate it.  I also don't get why I've wasted thirty seconds of my time thinking about Weebs' opinion of The Office.

It wasn't this past episode.  It was this season so far, and a majority of the last two or three seasons.  They're playing season 2 episodes on FOX now and the show was much, much better back then.  It all went downhill at the start of season 4.

Why?

When I did bench, the bar was always at my chest. This dood has weird form. No wonder he almost killed himself.

I believe part of it slipping out of control involves it moving into
a position other than perfectly aligned with the correct spot.  I
would also guess that it happened while he was putting the bar
back on the support, which involved moving it towards his head.

Yeah, but he had a spotter. What the fuck was he doing?

Probably picking it up off of his crushed throat.

The Fergie Jenkins bobblehead that they gave out last night looks like Lester Hayes.

They should have given out Fergie Jenkins rosin bags.

Luckily you got this in on time for "September's most retardedly unrelated and asinine comment of the month award"

Yellon called, you're late for your game of "Hide The Bologna".

Daryle's sister is hot.

This show fucking sucks now.  There.

*puts on flame suit*

I know you're the new Chuck, but this is a joke, right?

Almost no Jane Lynch in this episode sucks, but Kristin Chenoweth was great.  Also, I'm pretty sure that Chris Klein has to crouch in every shot because he's about 5 feet taller than everyone else.

Kristin Chenoweth was in tonight's?  You probably just sold Dubbs on this show.

Why?  B/c I like hot older blondes with nice cans?

It's a v. funny, silly show. 

You're a stinky fag.

And do people really think that it's Chris Klein in this show? 

bump

Can't we have one thread that doesn't end with us digging up a corpse bragging about our amateur sports careers?

Yes. Let's not relive Thrill's athletic accolades once again.

Have I ever told you about the time we couldn't get into our locker room after a game because the cops were in there chatting with a teammate who had two-handed his stick across the back of an opponent's neck after the whistle?

Why would the art club need a locker room? Was it for the shower bonding?

The art club doubled as the pep band.  They needed to wash their tubas together after the hockey match.

May 4, 1984, the Oakland A's Dave Kingman hit a ball that disappeared through a drainage hole in the Teflon roof. The ball never came down, and Kingman was given a ground-rule double. The next day, the Twins devised a plan in which, before Kingman's first at-bat, a ball would drop from the roof so that Twins first baseman Mickey Hatcher could make the catch. As Kingman stepped into the batter's box, the ball knuckled its way down, bounced and hit Hatcher in the groin, sending him to the turf. "Kingman looked at me and said, 'What's wrong with you?' " says Hatcher, now the LA Angels batting coach.

I have no idea what the point of this story is, but why the hell wasn't Hatcher wearing a cup?

Point of story: Nut shots are always funny.

Re: Hatcher and the cup: Ever been hit in the cup by a baseball travelling at a decent speed? It'll still make you puke, just won't turn your nuts to puree.

No, whenever I see a ball traveling at a decent speed toward my testicles, I use a different part of my body to stop it.

As a catcher/first baseman for a lot of my baseball life, I can say it's not always possible.

When you're a shitty fielder like Mickey Hatcher, even less so.

Did the coach mind that you wore pleated jeans?

Have Mickey Hatcher's balls also never dropped back down?

I caught replays of the first two episodes.  McHale and Chase's Spanish presentation was outstanding, as was everything Ken Jeong said.  Good recommendation, dudes.  I finally see your worth.

TV IS DA KOOLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
