Re: Jim/Pam: I'd like to see them end up like Turk and Carla from "Scrubs", in that, it's not forgone that their being together solves all their problems, instead of that whole TV "We got them together, now they're boring." thing. On a shallow note, doesn't Krasinki have the best smile on television, right now? Looking at it really makes me want to smile.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

His is pretty good but, right now, I'm going to have to go with Lee Pace's for the win (as the kids say).

He does, and it's a good one. I thought there would be more discussion about it but I've looked in various threads & didn't see anything. I'd probably notice Lee Pace's smile more if he weren't standing next to Anna Friel most of the time. She's very distracting. Not that I'm complaining.
Haven't seen any mention of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, either. I'm enjoying it, too, especially when "The Gang Solve[d] the North Korea Problem." I'm on the same wavelength as its scuzzy absurdist humor but I thought my wife would HATE it. Much to my surprise she thought it was pretty funny (the episode "The Aluminum Monster vs. Fatty McGoo".)

The Office:
Okay, I was a little underwhelmed by this episode, but Andy's speakerphone a cappella serenade was fantastic. I'm also intrigued so far by the little bits of Jim/Pam that we get to see. Pam has learned a certain way of relating to her boyfriend from being with Roy, and Jim is a very different person, who I think is less used to his girlfriend expecting things like automatically winning in the event of a tie. I don't think it spells their doom or anything -- like erika said, I'd be happy with their relationship having a Turk/Carla vibe, where they still have problems and things aren't always perfect but they really love each other and they make things work -- but it's interesting to see the transition from the fantasy to the reality of their relationship.
Ugly Betty:
Aw, I'm so happy Ignacio is back! My favorite bit, though, was Henry visiting socuteitmakesyousick.com. Adorable! I'm really glad he's a regular this season.

really? i thought it was the best yet this season. there were a ton of laugh out loud moments for me. Andy's a cappela just about made me die. if a guy did that to me i would have said yes no matter how much of a creep i previously thought he was.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Andy's speakerphone a cappella serenade
Now on a top favorite moments list. Seriously. Thing of beauty, that was.
