Whoops! You're right of course. As for Pam and Michael, now THAT would make for unconventional TV.

Another great example of the deft writing on The Office, was in last week's episode:

Dwight goes on a rampage concerning Jim's practical jokes, and the two sit down as the HR guy reads them all off. Each one is more hilarious than the last, so you laugh at uptight-Dwight. But as the list goes on and on, you begin to see how truly pathetic Jim's existence is in the office. Jim realizes it too, and at the end of the scene, he and Dwight have reached some sort of sombre endgame. Phenomenal!
