TV Watch

OK, so let’s recap tonight’s super-sized The Office. Karen: 1, Pam: 0.

Let me back track a minute here. Oh my crap, did Jim just say he was “involved” with someone??? When did that frakin’ happen? Way to go, Jim! Karen will be good for him.

Yes, I know, everyone loves Pam. We all want to see the two of them together. Yadda, yadda, yadda. But she shot the poor guy down twice in one night! Not cool. And with Karen being, like, bizarro Pam, it all seems to be coming up roses for our man Jim.

Speaking of bizarro, how awesome was tonight’s mixing of the two offices? The Andy/Dwight confrontation was by far the best. What happens when you put two idiot ass kissers in the same room together? You get Andy singing the Roxbury guys’ song because Michael’s tape deck won’t work. And how brilliant was the Andy/Dwight smackdown in the elevator? Tonight’s The Office went beyond my wildest expectations for how good this show could be.

Which brings me to my next topic: Is Thursday now the all-time greatest night of television, or what? I’ll always love Survivor, and finally that show is getting more and more interesting with all the new twists throwing wrenches in the gears. Grey’s Anatomy was fan-frakin’-tastic tonight, as usual. How about Izzy and Alex talking in the third person? Priceless. And George has so many great storylines floating around him that it boggles the mind. Even Meredith doesn’t seem annoying anymore. And can we say: Return of the Nazi!

My Name is Earl is back on track, after a few misguided episodes starting off the season. And finally we have the biggest surprise: The O.C. is better than it has ever been. I’m serious. Best season ever, right here. The writing is dead on, funny, but not afraid to have some appropriate real life drama thrown in.

And finally, the biggest TV romance of the year, much more dramatic than even Karen/Jim, is the new blossoming Taylor/Ryan story arc. While Taylor was really annoying when she was first introduced last season, can I now say that she is by far my favorite character on the show? The look on her face after Ryan kissed her? Priceless. Is she adorable, or what? I’m thinking new TV crush, right here.
