Let's Talk The Office! Will Angela give in to Andy's advances?

Is another serenade in store for Angela? Ed Helms and Angela Kinsey by Byron J. Cohen/NBC

Tonight The Office returns to its regular, half-hour length with an episode about the Scranton crew being chosen to star in a Dunder-Mifflin commercial. Meanwhile, Dwight manages to become even weirder by getting addicted to Second Life (my apologies if anyone reading this actually plays Second Life). Post your comments and return back after the show for my recap.

Contrived Romances

This seems to be The Season of Contrived Romances. First, there was only the Jim and Pam thing. Then it was Michael and Jan, then Ryan and Kelly. Gee, what an incestuous little branch office ! Then Dwight and Angela.

Now, with this season they're taking a page from Friends. Let's all switch ! Now, it's Darryl and Kelly, Andy and Angela. So, the real question isn't about the plot idiocy of the latter, but why Kevin and Phyllis haven't been included in this office love-in!

This all seems to be a blatant play to the femme demographic, which I guess they had to at some point due to their multi-season renewal. But it just means more FF time on my remote.

If this keeps up they'll lose me next season. Who am I kidding ? Of course, it'll continue down this path, just like Friends, just like Scrubs. I'm really not in it for the square-dance trading of relationships. That's NOT what made this series the success it WAS.
