The Office

Geeze, this show is funny.

I could (and probably should) write a long, impassioned review of "The Office", explaining how unwaveringly perfect is Steve Carrell's interpretation of the king of cluelessness; how spookily creepy is Rainn Wilson's Dwight (when he dressed as the emperor from Star Wars for a Hallowe'en party (and managed to both parody Star Wars and infuse the emperor with Dwight's special brand of cowardly self-importance), I thought I'd spit my coffee laughing); how subversively charismatic is John Krasinski's Jim (who very much plays the everyman observer, the greek chorus, the rational reality dose that the other characters all lack).

I could, and probably should.

But I'm leaving it at this: Geeze, this show is funny!
