Yep, Pam would never leave her job to work at some crazy start up without running it past Jim first. Even if she did, she would make sure it was with an amazing boss who didn't drive cars into a river.
Michael Scott Paper Company says hello. She literally stood up and followed Michael (a crazy boss who drives cars into a river) out the door on a whim, with nothing more than a look and shrug at Jim.
Pam could learn a lot from Andy on Parks & Rec. He is immediately onboard with April's dream and is aware it will be difficult but doesn't care because he loves her and supports her dreams.

Andy doesn't have the responsibilities that Pam does.
Andy sucks. One of the most unlikable characters I've ever seen on tv.
Andy does as much work at his job as Pam does.Except Andy is a total simpleton with no responsibilities or even a basic understanding of adult life.
Andy does as much work at his job as Pam does.
And if Pam is this well-adjusted adult that Andy is not, she can handle the responsibility she holds over him. Unless she can't order Post-It notes and raise two kids. If Athlead is becoming this big success, it seems Pam could take care of the kids full-time if she wanted to, its not like she would be giving up a burgeoning career to do so.
And I can't believe people don't like Andy. Yeah, he is a manchild but the guy has a ton of heart, is always there for his friends, and is in a healthy marriage. April is the unlikeable one in that relationship (though I do think they have more chemistry together than Jim and Pam do, I believe it when they say they had sex).
Andy and April clearly love each other and get along like gangbusters. I don't particularly care for April, though, so I was referring to those who said they didn't like Andy....?
hah whoa it was my bad, I even reread the thread to see if I missed where Andy from parks came in because I thought people were talking about Andy from the office...I have been on the computer for too long
That's ok, they both suck.![]()

Except Pam's job isn't actually a real job. She fabricated the Office Administrator job because she hated sales and wanted a raise, but what does she actually do? Nothing.Andy spends most of his day goofing off. Pam spends half her day at her desk, and the other half taking care of her two kids, usually alone.
andy bernard is awful. in my experience people who hate andy on parks JUST because he's irresponsible (which is the point) generally hate fun and genuineness and have to have everything tempered by empty cynicism, which is not enjoyable to be around. but w/e![]()

God damnit I'm going to be right aren't I.
Nice list!Based on previews, the finale has promised to answer any lingering questions. I'm confident they will address the following:
I will say one thing -- despite the fact that I think Angela's entire arc has sucked since she started going out with Andy and it's been dreadful since she met the (state) senator -- I really do think this is a good resolution for it. The annoying barriers her character puts up are finally torn down by necessity, the one person that's there for her is a guy she literally tried to get kicked out of the country, to say nothing of fighting with him constantly over work environment stuff and resenting him for his "lifestyle". Really one of the more realistic moments in terms of showing the way in which people actually get brought closer together by slaving away next to each other for a decade. It's a pity they didn't give Angela Kinsey better material earlier on in the show because I think she could be a pretty decent supporting player.
It was a nice moment. Mind you it does raise another question:
* How did Angela get away with hiring somebody to brutally harm Oscar when it was recorded on camera?
While they are at it, they could explain why Michael Scott wasn't fired any one of dozens of times that he should have.
Pam's Fake Job actually strikes me as one of the more realistic things about the show.
Michael Scott, unlike David Brent, was competent and his branch turned a profit. You occasionally saw Michael shine.
It was actually an episode of Big Bang Theory.
Oh, surprised nobody mentioned Michael Imperioli as the sensei.
My, how far he's fallen.

Side note, 35% of this double episode's runtime was a commercial or the obnoxious opening theme song. That's not exactly unexpected, but it's still ridiculous.
I noticed this too. It reminded me of the Walking Dead finale where they added 5 minutes to the time slot but used it all on commercials.
Otherwise, it wasn't a bad episode. I'm completely lost on why Angela is so broke now though. She lived fine before the senator but now she's destitute? There seems to be a step or three missing.
I'm happy Dwight is manager. My favorite episode post-Michael is the one where Dwight is interim manager. He's easily the most qualified since no one else in that branch can do much of anything else lately. Added liability insurance is a must of course.
I don't see too much of a problem with Pam's made up title. At least she seems to be working at something and she would be the one they all bring office issues to. What does Toby do all day? Or Darryl? Or anyone else really?
