I watched last night's finale of The Office today. Um, OMGSQUEE! You know, I always enjoyed the show before, but I'm afraid I may be hooked now. 
austin360, I think we need to add another show to the crack to-do list.
For the two-and-a-half of you on my flist who actually watch this show, here's a sweet ficlet:

Ohh, yes. I can identify with that.
Thank you for the rec. :)
I have to admit - haveing seen a little of the US one, I prefer the UK.
I was all prepared to hate the American Office, given our track record with adapting terrific Brit shows (don't even talk to me about Coupling). But it's really grown on me the more I've watched. It's very similar to the original, yet forges enough new territory in a uniquely American voice that I find there's a lot to be gotten out of it. And I find Steve Carell to be just as painful in his own way as Ricky Gervais was.
Let's do it.
You know, I have a significant number of vacation days. I say we take a week and hang out. We've never done that before.
"I don't wanna babysit! The black one bites and the white one calls me Stupid Giant."
"Lucky for me, Dizzy Hulk has poor aim and a bad throwing arm."
Definitely in my top three with the Y2K episode and the Right Choice Ranch. Oh, wait, Joy's Wedding! Dang, there's just too much to love.
The Pam-Jim/Dawn-Tim relationship on both versions of The Office is so addictive because you're not just rooting for them to get together, you're heartbroken because she's making such a tragic mistake with her loathsome fiance.
That look on her face when she held up that umbrella was masterful.
The Office: not only is her potential mistake with Wrong!Fiance so painful, the triangle seems so realistic--they're not apart because his mom told him she's her sister or one of them has the bird flu or she has to marry someone else to get an inheritance--they're apart because it's hard to get relationships right. Again, that mix of the ridiculous with the sublime.
