On strike

I will no longer be blogging every new episode.  Maybe someday I’ll come back and do the 7th season and beyond, but at this point, if the writers are going to stop trying, so am I.

I would like to keep my happy memories of The Office, basically Seasons 1 through 3, when the stories were original, heartfelt, hilarious, and real.  What is happening now, I can’t even begin to understand.  So that’s it for me for now.

I’m going to go watch Season 2.
