I agree with you, Derwood, in the sense that it IS an ensemble comedy and as such it should not overly focus on any one character. But I think that goes for all of the cast, not just Steve Carrell. I wouldn't want the show to centre too much on Michael Scott, but I'd also not want too much focus on Dwight, or Dwight and Angela, or even Jim and Pam. I like it when characters like Creed or Merideth get a little extra screen time. I like those characters, and it's nice when the writers spread the laughs around.
So here's a question. (We'll try another question, since my first one on the season finale didn't pan out...)
Who is your favourite Office character, and why?
I think mine is Jim. I love his facial expressions. He does get the lions share of good lines, and he delivers them amazingly well... He is a good actor. I think Steve Carrell is the best actor, but John Kras is an easy second.
