Oct. 18th, 2005 10:29 pmOh dear. Tonight's very funny episode of The Office very nearly made me cry just now; the only other show that's ever come close to this effect is The Simpsons. (My response to the "Maggie's birth" episode is pavlovian by now; I start to tear up around the 15-minute mark every time I see it.) Honestly, I'm not a complete mush; it's just that the ending to tonight's Office had a character moment that came completely out of the blue while being entirely believable.
The cast is just amazing, particularly Steve Carell and John Krasinski, and I believe that the writers are second only to the Arrested Development gang in sheer, mind-blowing talent. Why isn't everyone watching this show? Cripes, people, it's Tuesday night -- it's not like you have anything better to do!
Edited to add: In case this entry hasn't made it clear enough, I am a total TV-lovin' dork. I beat my chest and holler it from the rooftops! I will feel no shame! (I also have a lot of books. I can like TV and still be smart, dammit! Why can't I forget the theme to F-Troop?)
