Week 2, Season 6

Michael Scott is conflicted! He wants to keep his current position as manager because of his feeling of superiority over the rest of the office. Yet Michael does not want to lose his supposed J.Crew model Jim Halpert to another job opportunity outside of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Jim, realizing the delicate situation he is in, because of the baby on the way, decides to keep Michael in the dark concerning the possible promotion of both himself and Michael. Naive Jim, very Naive. He soon realizes that Michael is just as idiotically lethal as he is when he is in the know.

It seems like Michael is conflicted just about every episode. He is definitely a natural when it comes to having problems or being the problem. There are people in life that seem to fit this role quite well. It seems like the producers of The Office have a pretty easy time coming up with problems to issue into each hilarious episode. Could it be that they are the "Michael's" of their own lives? Who is the "Michael" of your life?

The Office: Season 6, Week 1

There aren't very many people who have not watched an episode of NBC's The Office. From its witty humor to its off the wall characters; it has captured the attention of the majority of American TV watchers. This weeks episode featured a brilliant display of Michael Scott's (Steve Carell) need to fit in with his employees. For the majority of the episode, Michael spent his time trying to be a part of the office gossip (whether it was passing it on, or being the subject of the gossip). Michael Scott portrayed an amplification of most peoples' desire to fit in. The episode was packed with comedy and yet it had an underlying feeling of shame because of Stanley's involvement in an affair. Once again The Office combined real life problems with quirky paper company employees and made a hilarious half hour show.
