Scott's Blog of Doom

Scott,
Forget all this Scrubs malarkey, you have yet to fill the blog in on your thoughts on The Office season finale. What did you think?
I personally loved the interraction between Michael and Holly, and it shows just how good the writing (and casting) of her is, when we all know Amy Ryan can't work a full schedule with them, but they make you think it could happen, one day. They've found a perfect compromise.
I'm pretty worried they're running out of ideas for Jim and Pam, hence the assumed pregnancy, but other than that, the whole episode (and the last 10-12 episodes) have been absolutely brilliant. The Michael Scott Paper Company arc and Café Disco in partiucular were complete triumphs, I thought. Can't wait for Season 6.
Et toi?

 

The Michael Scott Paper Company was certainly the most unexpectedly brilliant revival of a series in forever, but baby storylines make me wary.  That being said, although Office has long been one of my favorite shows, 30 Rock surpassed it this season with the Generalissimo gag alone (“We will go to McDonalds and order only a senior’s coffee” had me HOWLING at random moments for days afterwards), but I’m hopeful for an Office comeback next season after a rough go of it this year. 

Parks & Rec though…I dunno.  I’ve still got something like 4 episodes on the DVR so I’m hoping it breaks out quickly and gets really funny, but truth be told I thought Kath & Kim was really hitting a stride and deserved another chance instead of this.
