I liked this show a lot for the first 2 seasons.
But they seem to have self-destructed by separating Jim from the rest of the Scranton gang. Why did they feel like they had to have him confess his love to Pam? Could they not see that the tension between them was such a rich source of viewer attraction to the show? They could have stretched that out for at least another 2 seasons before finally confronting the issue.
Now to resolve the sloppy aftermath of the Jim-Pam kiss and rejection, they put Jim in some other office with a hotter but less interesting romantic interest, and a much less entertaining office rival. Most importantly this has revealed how important Jim was as a straight-man foil to Dwight's antics. Dwight has been totally castrated by this move.
Season 3 just isn't nearly as funny so far. I hope they find some way to bring Jim back home ASAP, perhaps in some kind of office merger like they did in the British version.

The Office is probably my all time most favorite show. I can see what you are saying that this season so far hasnt been as good as the past episodes, but I still enoy it.
i thought this was the second season.
i IMDBed that shit. and there's some sneaky 6 episode season 1 (march-april), then the awesome season 2 (sept-may) and now the sucky season 3.
i'm FINNnnished.
season 1 contains some of the best episodes (the alliance comes to mind immediately...)
I like it that there are some old The Office episodes that I've never seen. Hopefully that shit will hit my tivo some time.
