Jan's character got old really fast. The writers did an "Eric Matthews" to her character. Jan was sane and not a psych in the first two seasons then once she and Michael started to heat up, she went bat crazy. Her character changed completely.
Yeah but they only had to do it in 12 episodes and a miniseries... If they had tried to go six seasons on the British Office, they'd have had to get Tim and Dawn together by season 3, then probably have them break up at some point, and get back together again, etc. Keeps people interested... It's the Ross and Rachel pattern.
I hope they don't do something cheap like have Jim and Pam split up but it wouldn't surprise me.
And as much as I like Amy Ryan's other work in things like The Wire and Gone Baby Gone, I kind of thought she was awkward in The Office... Just doesn't seem like she was right for the part. Could just be me though. I agree Jan needs to come back into the picture.

I don't think they completely turned her character around. Jan wasn't around nearly as much in the first two seasons. And when she was, she was his boss and not his lover, although she did show signs of unstableness, like when they made out outside the Chili's.
She seemed to get crazier but it was only because she was involved in Michael's personal life in seasons 3, 4 and 5, and was in more episodes because of that.
Jan and Michael were definitely funny and awkward, but I don't really want them to bring her back as much as I want them to bring Holly back and let conflict arise from Michael and Pam's mom.
SOrry, I couldn't stand Jan and her character was tough to watch. For me the episodes with her in it were painfull.
What about when she was spending too much of Micheal's money so he wanted to run away on the train? That was great.
Jan's relationship with Michael was hilarious. Y'all are crazy.
I didn't like it at all. It made the show way too angry, IMO. I guess it served the purpose of fleshing out Michael's character a bit, but I didn't find it funny.
Pretty sure I've found my Halloween costume for this year:
Blind Guy McSqueezy
"The women in my improv class absolutely HATE him."
Is it just me or was Pam a in the last episode?
Yeah, kind of. But with the combination of hormones and Michael banging her mom, it's understandable.
Would you let Michael Scott bang your mom?
Why is Dwight spying on Jim?
LMAO @ "I'm just going to date her harder"
Anyone watch last week? The Halloween haunted house part was lame.
Andy kissing Pam's tummy during the sales meeting.
I'm pretty sure there were AT LEAST 20 "facebooks" out on Fry St. Halloween night. My GOD. One guy that came w/ us was dressed up as both 3-hole punch Jim AND facebook jim.Anyone watch last week? The Halloween haunted house part was lame.

Lame and weak.I'm pretty sure there were AT LEAST 20 "facebooks" out on Fry St. Halloween night. My GOD. One guy that came w/ us was dressed up as both 3-hole punch Jim AND facebook jim.
I thought the costumes were funny, Michael greeting kids as the in a Box sketch was priceless, because in true Michael style he is oblivious to the fact that it was a completely innapropriate costume for kids. And Andy as Michael Jackson was funny, too bad he didn't dance. Maybe his scrotum isn't completely healed yet.
Michael lecturing the kids about suicide at the end was pretty funny.
Bump from the dead. Garbage 1 hour episode Thursday.
I thought the contract between Dwight and Angela was funny. The rest of the show was pretty ing bad though.
Yeah, the contract was funny. The rest of the show was unwatchable.
The show needs chaos to be funny; not the touchy feely happy crap that has defined this season so far. Hence, why I was arguing for Jan being reintroduced instead of having Michael and Holly hook back up. Now they're really ing things up by having Andy and Erin get together. They really need to make him hook back up with Angela or something.
This show does need something drastic. It's been pretty unwatchable for almost the whole season.
That's because US comedies don't know when or how to stop. BBC Office was 2 seasons, a Christmas Special, and done. No time for it to get old or stale.
I always think back to what Troy McClure said... who knows what crazy things they'll get into between now and the time the show becomes unprofitable?
This season hasn't been that good but I think it's because the show has focused way too much on Jim and Pam and their unrealistic perfect relationship. I think the show has also suffered from Dundler Mifflin being bought by Sabre. The only good thing of this episode was Dwight. He had some classic quotes especially the ones about him and Angela banging it out in their old spot.
