@A Pimp Named DaveR: I personally liked seeing Pam go ballistic for a change. Mostly, she was weepy, mopey, meloncholy but never flat out irate. That was refreshing.
I'm not sure that the concept was ever "taboo," unless the idea that a woman who might be in her 30s (I refer to milfs in general) could be considered hot was ever taboo. #theoffice
@magnets: Thanks for your helpful feedback. The new guy shows up, you call him a chum-bucket? You can't offer some sort of helpful advice? You can't smile thinking about an attractive oversexed elder, as recycled as the concept might be? I don't like you "magnets." You're on my list. #theoffice
I am so confused by this post. Who's "MILF hunting" on The Office? Michael dating Pam's mom not because she's a mom but because she's a woman of approximately his age. In fact, every woman Michael has dated on the show, with the exception of Holly, has at least one child. Seriously, where did this come from? #theoffice
@DahlELama: (I'd answer, but honestly I had to read it twice just to figure out what it said. I'm not yet ready to move on to ascribing meaning.) #theoffice
@raincoaster: Apart from game shows like the Price Is Right, with the prizes scaled down enormously.
The grand prize on a US game show might be like a Cadillac or a speedboat; on the ITV version it'll be a toaster oven. #theoffice
@Flashman: Ha, they should bring back that one that Monty Hall used to run, what-was-it-called. Let's Make a Deal, I think. All the fancy-dress outfits could get a regular airing then. And yeah, naked, desperate veniality displayed over barbecue tongs or a tea cosy is that much more amusing to watch. #theoffice
@Flashman: Actually my paraphrase from memory wasn't even close. Here is what IMDB says he said:
"Jack: All of my summer replacement shows were big hits. America's Next Top Pirate, Are You Stronger Than a Dog, MILF Island.
Liz Lemon: Milf Island?
Jack: Twentyfive super hot moms. Fifty eighth grade boys. No rules.
Liz Lemon: Oh yeah. Didn't one of those women turn out to be a prostitute?
Jack: That doesn't mean she's not a wonderful, caring MILF."
The simple truth is people are taking better care of themselves, and aging better. There are hotter looking people over 50 than most 20 year olds I know! IF people wanna hunt MILF's, more power to 'em. For every Caprica Six and Boomer lover, there's a Laura Roslin lover waiting for his moment. WORD!
I just had a conversation the other day about no longer watching The Office. I simply noted that I stopped watching it once they got together. It wasn't a conscious decision; It just happened.
Thanks for putting into words why I just stopped caring.
Aww, I think they're cute, (Not cry at their cuteness, cute. But cute in the comedic straight-man/woman power duo living amongst the insane fools in that office, cute. We identify more with their blandness, because everyone else is a stark-raving loon. More so than we want to be them. I'd dare say many of us already are them. ) So I agree that this punch into reality is overkill. And not half as original as this: [www.tripadvisor.com]

Also, actual quote from my girlfriend while watching last night: "Remember when Pam was even remotely likeable?" #theoffice
