The end to another "True Comedy"

2 Questions about this video:
1. Where is Michael?
2. Where is the humor?

Yes this promo makes me cry.
Yes I will still watch and love the show. Thats because I am one of the rare guys that will admitt to enjoying a good television romance. But it looks like "The Office" is taking a serious turn for the worse when it comes to Comedy. Every show does it. (except one)

The Office is hillarious and had potential to become almost as good as Seinfeld.
Seinfeld is the greatest comedy in television history.
It is the greatest for 1 reason. It was a show about nothing. There was no storyline, no plot, no continuation from episode to episode. It was just funny. No drama.
Friends started that way. Thats why the first few seasons are the funniest. But the writers started to focus on the storylines. It was still a good show but not as funny.

With this said, I am looking forward to this season of the office, but I just hope every single episode will not be "the story of Jim and Pam.

I could not agree more. Especially about the non-plotline seasons of FRIENDS.

If you lived here, I would watch The Office with you and we could cry about Jim and Pam together!

I will agree with you about Seinfeld...I only though it was mildly funny when I was younger, but now when I watch it I can't help but think that I must of just had a mildly desent sense of humor when I was younger (it's matured with age)
