What I'm Watching: The Office

The Office: Season 4, Episode 3 "Launch Party" (B+)

The battle between Michael and his acceptance of technology is wonderfully entertaining. His annoyance at not being invited to the real party which does not exist is priceless. Many people I know say that Steve Carrell's Michael Scott is just too obnoxious and unlikeable, but that is precisely what makes the performance brilliant. He is so oblivious about everything without dwelling on anything too long. Great prank pulled by Jim and Pam with the whole computer thing, and glad to see that Pam does in fact have compassion for Dwight after finding out Angela dumped him. What a great scene on the roof with Jim and Pam. Give John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer Emmys already!
