WATCH THOSE SPOILERS!
With only a few episodes left, it's time for the end-of-series storylines to start wrapping up on The Office. Tonight, the elevator in the building goes out, forcing the heavier-set workers to get a bit of exercise. Dwight and Clark drug Stanley to get him to come on a sales call. The Senator comes out with Angela by his side, Andy tries his luck with a talent agency, and Jim and Pam prepare for couples counseling.
Really wasn't a fan of tonight's episode. The only funny scenes were with Dwight and Stanley, but even those felt kind of contrived, stooping to the level of having to literally shoot tranquilizer darts into co-workers in the break room for laughs. It's sad to see Pam and Jim's marriage on the rocks too. The one outlet on this show that has always seemed to bring audiences a little humanity amidst all the office's chaotic goings-on is now 100% in jeopardy. I'm interested to see how their counseling turns out in the coming weeks. And, heck, I mean, Roseanne Barr even makes an appearance as the talent agent that Andy goes to see in town. Too bad she isn't funny and fails to inject her smarmy (*ahem*) trademark charm into a series that could really use a true pick-me-up in the tail end of its final season.
