The introduction of new characters in the last couple seasons dramatically shifted the focus of the show and changed the once-consistent behavior of the staple office employees. Although character growth makes sense for any show, I can imagine how the changes might be frustrating to watch. <br /><br />Don’t get me wrong, I’m pumped to check out the new season when I get home in January, but I think it may be hitting a wall. Maintaining the MOs of the characters is easy when the company remains stable, but the writers seem like they are trying to rock the boat a little too much. Hopefully they’ll get their act together before they capsize.Sandy Bluesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4310224605699723947.post-19504999573336700702009-11-14T18:13:32.947-05:002009-11-14T18:13:32.947-05:00Apparently this show has not been very good the la...Apparently this show has not been very good the last couple of weeks. I'm sorry to hear that, since I'll be getting to season 6 relatively soon.<br /><br />Season 4, brief though it was, was excellent. I particularly loved the hour-long episodes "Launch Party" and "Goodbye Toby". But "Dinner Party" was still the highlight of the season for me. <br /><br />So far, season 5 has been pretty good as well. "Weight Loss" was really good, with some wonderful moments (Jim proposing to Pam and Dwight driving Phyllis five miles out of town and leaving her there were my favorites). "Business Ethics" was good, and Michael has apparently found a soul mate in Holly (who is just as crazy as he is). It's a pity that their relationship is about to end after what happened in "Crime Aid", but I've still enjoyed the season so far. Hopefully it doesn't deteriorate as it goes along.Greg Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367592228032874654noreply@blogger.com
