My best TWSS--in my TV production class one day, we were eating lunch and one of the guys decided to impress us by stuffing his mouth with grapes. "Dude,
I can fit nine in my mouth at once!" It was even better because of his voice was muffled and there was drool at the corners of his mouth. 
I've always wanted to do it in the middle of reading a poem or play aloud but never had the right opportunity/guts.
I thought the fourth season was definitely the weakest so far, but I don't think Jam had anything to do with it. The strike killed a lot of momentum and the hour-longs that started the season were really hit and miss.

Jan is ok in small doses; that was another point of contention of season 4 for me, she got more airtime than ever before and she bothers me more than she makes the show amusing IMHO. The pregnancy thing has the potential to be interesting but I hope she doesn't have as much focus in the future as she did this last season.
I'll go ahead and be controversial and say that as brilliant as the British version is (episode 4 is one of the funniest half-hours in television history and I prefer it to even my favorite US episode, "Diversity Day"), I actually prefer the American version just because I think the greater number of episodes allows you to get into the characters more (especially the background ones). They're both individually great shows; the comparison is pretty moot by this point IMHO. The British version deserves a lot of credit for going out on top, and I'm kind of afraid that that moment has long passed for the US version, but we'll see. Now if you want absolute perfection, seek out the Japanese version. ;)

1.) Do you think that the fourth season, in general, dragged due to Jim and Pam being together?

2.) Who is your favorite 'second tier' character? I really wish that Meredith would get more talking heads!!!

3.) Does anyone find Jan as annoying as I do? I just don't like her character at all...

4.) Is Ryan going to be gone...for good?
5.) Is the American version living up to its British predecessor?
