The Office

It was an interesting finale. I fully expected Jim to propose to Pam, but instead Andy proposed to Angela. Toby left for Costa Rica. Actually Toby is played by Paul Lieberstein who is one of the fine writers and producers of "The Office" is leaving to write full time for the program. He said he was uncomfortable writing for his own character. I wonder if BJ Novak is also going to be writing full time for the series since his character was last seen being arrested for embezzlement. There were plenty of cliffhangers: Angela said yes to Andy's proposal by saying "Okay," but was caught with Dwight in a compromising position by Phyllis; Jan is pregnant - she claims she went to a sperm bank, but I think it's Michael's; there's a new HR person in the office who has a similar sense of humor as Michael and who Michael was very drawn to until Jan told him she was pregnant.

I'm looking forward to the resolution of all these matters.

The Office

Next week is the season finale of "The Office." While I hate to see it go away for the summer, I am looking forward to the finale. Big surprises, they say. And it's a full hour. Will Jim ask Pam to marry him? Will Pam say "Yes.") Will Angela and Dwight (Shrute) begin their way back to each other? (Seriously, Andy is such a dweeb.) Will Toby really move to Costa Rica or will he try to break Jim and Pam up? What will happen to Ryan because of his drug habit? Will Michael get back with psychotic Jan? Will Ryan fire Jim?

All these questions. I doubt that all those questions will be answered or that any of them are relevant. I'm looking forward to next Thursday. (FYI: NBC will broadcast 2 hours - 4 back-to-back episodes - on Sunday.)
