I have to know if anyone watches this show and has been rooting for those two since day one! Someone! Anyone! Gush with me!

"It isn't Afghanistanian. It's Afghani.:
"Isn't that a dog?"
"That's afghan."
"Isn't that a rug?"

I love this show.

Ahhhhhh!!! I just about died! I don't think I want them together in the end, but tonight's episode...AAAHHHHHH!!!!

Definite gushing! God, I love Jim. That scene was so well played by both of them. I really felt like Pam had no idea all along and that she did just see him as a great friend. They're killing me! I cannnot wait until the fall!

I cannot believe that they're going to make us wait all summer long! That's entirely too much for me to handle! Oh my good Lord that was the best episode ever!

He cried! Jim cried! And when she was calling her mom I knew it - KNEW IT - that he would walk through the door. He had to. He just had to. That was casino night's best gamble and EEEEE I cannot wait until September.

Gah! My heart!

I literally SQUEALED when I heard Jim say "I'm in love with you"

Wow wow wow wow wow wow WOW!

Best.Season.Finale.EVER

(and not to mention how HILARIOUS the rest of the episode was!)

Oh. My. Goddddd.

I literally started jumping up and down when it ended. I might've stepped on my dog in the process, but...WOW!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait until September!!

That was indeed a great episode. The whole Jim/Pam thing could have gone either way, I think (both in the parking lot and back in the office). I thought when he told Pam he was in love with her, he was really going to say that he was going to transfer (then it would have been on her end to be all angsty/could she let him go). After the Jan convo, I was IN SHOCK when he came out and told Pam he loved her.

Then, after her reaction (the whole "we're just friends" bit) and his reaction to that (brushing away the tear...gah!) I was almost certain he was going to go in and appologize to her or something. I screamed when he kissed her! AAAHHHH!!

Can't wait until September. They'd best drag out the should we/shouldn't we, because as much as I want them to get together, part of me really doesn't want them together. I love the playful flirting and near misses.

I changed my avatar.

Obsessed.

Can't iTunes go any faster and get this online NOW!?!? Oh my God that was so amazing. I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'M SO EXCITED!


I have a life, I swear. No, really. I do.

No, I'm totally on the same page as you, LMC!!! I wish I'd taped it! What a good episode.

Only the UK version, I don't touch the American.

I'm giving iTunes until midnight before I go door to door praying that someone TiVo'd it. Haha.

I love the UK version too, but you don't understand the fanbase here. I live in Scranton. They talk about bars that are a block away from me. They mention the Penguins and Rock 107 and Poor Richard's and Jitterz. They even corrected their pronunciation of the city name after our letters. SCRANTON is what outsiders call us. It's SCRAN'N around here in the Electric City (a rag mag they have hanging around the office here and there). This is a huge deal in this town. I love it.

Sure, we were all skeptical at first because we thought our city would be a punchline but this show has helped us immensely. BJ Novak spent the summer here two seasons ago to get "material." He's done us proud.

So my attachment to this season is crazy. Especially to these two. I love it.

Have I mentioned that I love it?

I regret that I didn't tape it...I honestly had NO idea that any of this was going to happen. Argh!

iTunes had best comply with us crazy fans, or else!!!

Burles, I have watched all of the episodes of the British version and it is hilarious.

It was a great episode tonight. Great actors with great writing!

I loved it!! I was squeeing the whole time.
I can't wait all summer!

I'm a HUGE fan of the UK Office, and had a lot of reservations about the US version.

But this show really, really stands on its own. The mockumentary office setting is similar, but other than that, it's a completely different show. Brilliantly written, nuanced, hilarious. The UK Office is STILL the greatest tv program in history. But the US version is really, really REALLY good.

Give it a chance before dismissing it as the "american" version of "The Office".

I think with the season finale they officially topped the UK version. It was just the right mixture of fall-down funny comedy (I love poker -- Michael going all-in and then trying to convince Toby to take back his money was one of the funniest things I've seen all season) and plot/character development.

Plus, who can blame Jim for being in love with Pam? If I was in that office, I would totally be crushing on her too.

I wish the people who say "The UK version is the only one worth watching" would actually give the American one a chance. It's a different show from the British one, and just as good if not better.

There's nothing up on iTunes, but they're $1.99 to purchase. Totally well worth it. Believe me. I watch them while I type papers. Fantaaaastic.

Admittedly, I've only seen 4 or so episodes of the UK Office, and while I really liked it, I think overall, I like the US version a bit more. There does seem to be a lot of bitching about how the US version isn't worth watching, but how many people watched more than the first episode (which is basically just a carbon copy of the UK version...not really a fair representation)??

Gah! Jim cried! He CRIED! It was amazing. Great finale.

OMG...I was a screaming little girl at the end of the episode. The tear KILLED me. And Pam's reaction. I love this damn show.

Are you all the same people who post on Televisionwithoutpity.com?

No, I don't post there. But trust me, the Office/Jim and Pam fans are very happy today. Heh.

I loved how Michael was reciting the Cabaret monologue. I've seen the first 2 minutes of the movie and when he started saying it, I nearly died. And I loved the 2 random glow sticks he pulled out of his pocket while he was speaking. Too funny.

And Pam and Jim..... that was amazing. Hope the DVD's come out SOON!
