please, jim is still totally interested, that's obvious, and there are too many people out there who are waiting for them to get together for it not to happen. it will.
I'm sure it's bound to happen. But that's now how it works in life. She had her chance. She said no! Jim obviously moved on. He did seem interested a few episodes ago and he even told Karen he still had feelings for Pam. But I'm just saying they aren't supposed to end up together. If anything, Pam and Roy will end up getting married at the end. That I can live with. That's how I want the series to end. That'll be a keeper
I am a JAM hater. It bogs down a great show. If they get together it will ruin this show, mark my words.
haha i think you're mixing up what you want with what happens in real life. The Pam/Jim thing WOULD happen in real life pretty often. People get back together after a while. Especially when the feelings linger. They realize it..both try other people, get back together. Now if you just wouldn't like the show if it happened, that's your deal
if you're comparing it to real life, the possiblity of jim and pam, getting together is far more likely than pam somehow marrying the dude that she broke an engagement with.
I'm not sure why you think it won't. It's hollywood. The only show I've seen that told their execs to shove it up their ass was newsradio, and it lasted only as long as Hartman did, God rest his soul... In reality, you're right. We've all dove in, and got our hearts shattered. THATS good TV. Yet, some execs think it's too over the edge. Believe me, I've been talking about some good new reality shows that far supercede the ratings the regular ones have, but the person I talk to says they're too harsh. Isn't that what we want???
Everyone wanted that in Moonlighting (Bruce Willis/Cybill Shepard) and it ruined the show. It was never the same after they got together.
bad example imo - that show was pretty funny on a slap-stick/physical comedy angle. all 6 of them were pretty capeable of that john ritter/lucile ball style. when ross and rachel got together it killed the show. thats when i stopped watching - and then the few times i saw it after that it seemed like by the end everyone had been w/ everyone else. way to incestuous. it wasnt that they were "together" as much as the fact that their being "together" became a central part of too many episodes. i think the office could pull off the jim/pam thing if they didnt make a bunch of "relationship" episodes and make them all gaa-gaa over each other at the office . kind of the way jim and karen are now (i think her hugging him was the most "intimate" on-screen moment they have had).
Good call. The execs wanted the writers to drag the love story out for a year and have Dave and Lisa hook up, and the writers said "screw it" and had them get together in the second episode. And, for someone who refused to watch a single Lovitz episode (and I do like Jon, some of the time) until recently, they're remarkably good. They're on TBS right now.
didn't know that about the execs vs. the writers. cool. i didn't watch Lovitz ep's till now either. By far the worst character on the show.. he usually just pisses me off and I wish he wasn't there. Oh well. Oh and we're in this thread. The Office still rocks even w/ a down ep
Phil Hartman was the man, and Newsradio was weaker without him, but the show was still funnier than 90% of the crap on tv at the time. As for the office, I think the show can handle Jim and Pam together. They've had episodes in the past where they team up for hijinks in a flirty manner (see anytime they pranked Dwight). They can do the same kind of stuff as a couple. Jim and Pam are only a part of the office, and as long as they don't start dominating the show, it'll be business as usual.
Yeah, the writers have done a tremendous job working piecemeal with the big gorilla in the room -- nobody who watches this show wants any conclusion or ending to it, because they're scared witless of a for-reals hookup. And, like kaleidosky hinted towards -- that was an off episode, but it was the funniest thing I've seen since the last one. There's just nothing like it.
