On this week's episode of The Office, a very pregnant Pam must train her replacement for her maternity leave, and she's feeling more insecure than usual when that replacement happens to be an attractive woman that all the men at Dunder Mifflin are buzzing about. All the men except Jim, that is. Pam's determined to get Jim to admit he finds temp Cathy (Lindsey Broad) hot, and goes as far as to Read more

In an equally outlandish and sincere attempt to improve productivity at The Office, Dwight creates a device that will most definitely get everyone fired. The "Accountability Booster" registers every time a mistake gets made in the office. When five mistakes are made, you get a home run. Unlike their traditional connotation, home runs are not positive on The Office. "You get a home run and you're Read more

On this week's episode of The Office, the Dunder Mifflin warehouse crew wins the lottery and promptly quits their jobs. This leaves the office seriously understaffed, unsure of how to proceed, and daydreaming about what they'd each do with a small fortune. For me, the episode was a beautiful blend of The Office I've loved in the past and have missed so far this season: equal parts silly hijinks Read more

The season premiere of The Office gives us new cast member James Spader, who's taken over as the Sabre CEO from Kathy Bates's Jo, but the more exciting promotion is that of Andy, who's now the regional manager! It's a development I'm excited about, because Ed Helms has always been a delight, and after seeing in this first episode, I have faith that his good attitude will help soothe the void left Read more

Well, that's a wrap: Michael Scott has left the building. This week is Steve Carell's final episode of The Office, and it's touching and appropriately sentimental. It didn't make me as weepy as I thought I'd be, but I did feel a certain amount of closure, which actually may be better.

Dunder Mifflin is closed for the Summer, so to speak — The Office has its season finale this week, with Jim, Toby, and Gabe on the hunt for a new manager. They're tasked with interviewing candidates for the open position (including the woman who may be coming in permanently, Catherine Tate), while Creed sits in as acting manager, instituting his specific brand of crazy.
