"Of course this season isn't going to be as good as the ones we've all
seen a dozen times.  You haven't seen this one a dozen times yet."

I wasn't that bothered by that, but then again, I've never seen a Seth Rogen movie. At first I thought it was the original actors.

I love this idea. So much.

I read this whole article looking for any mention of Classic Office.

Basically, Season 4 is "The Wire" of television comedies. It starts out slowly, but after about five episodes, the characterization and ambition grab hold of you and never let go.
