i'll concede this much... Ed Helms does crack me up. But everything he does makes me laugh, even off this show.

You either stay subtle and witty, or you go full blown craziness. It takes a lot of skill to pull off what they're trying to do, and that's why they're failing.

Like Dwight sleeping with that chick.. it just makes no sense to his character that they've built up now for 4+ years.. i don't get what they're doing. Nor why someone like you, who can admit the show is extremely flawed now, still thinks this gag is funny.

I'm really interested in hearing more on what you think about this all..

Well I don't think Dwight sleeping with that girl is totally off base. He's attracted women before, Kelly kissed him at the firstChristmas party, obviously he dated Angela, that women's basketball player at the club in NYC liked him too. So it isn't that far-fetched that Dwightcan get a girl, it's just that he's so awkward it usually won't happen.

I agree with what you're saying for the most part. The show seemingly can't work in the two realms they're trying to, to try to keep the realistichumor that they first had, but also try to develop the characters and advance the storyline. The UK Office obviously avoided this problem by ending the showearly, while it was still on top.

The show isn't what it once was, the storylines got too unbelievable, characters became too extreme, and the humor became too zany and off-the wall. However, for me, it doesn't completely make the show unfunny. It just doesn't make it what the Office was. I still find it funny, just not always inthe way I used to. I also have a loyalty to shows even after they go downhill. Case in point, The Simpsons

Actually, it is. It's funny to see Dwight get some action and pull it off so suavely, but it's only entertaining because that's so NOThim. If you remember "Hot Girl" from Season One, he couldn't even talk with Katie. The reason why Dwight and Angela seemed so real was that theywere both social outcasts. That was the one backplot I actually liked, because things like that happen in real life.

There were so many stupid occurrences in this episode and the script was terrible, but it was still entertaining.

Right.. i mean, at least you understand my conflict right now. I want to stop watching, because I just hate it for the most part.. but i used tolove the show so much, I just keep tuning in like it's going to improve only to get angry that it hasn't.

I almost wish they had just made this into a spin off somehow, like have Jim or Dwight become the boss of the office after season 3, and eliminateMichael's character from the show except for maybe a few cameo's... something, anything than what they've done which is beat dead horse.
