Keep up with your favorite shows and discuss their intricacies with loads and loads of people with nothing better to do than to count how many times Jim looked at the camera last week.

The Office - "Dunder Mifflin Infinity" at 9pm - Has The Office jumped the shark? The debate rages on in this thread about the episode from last Thursday where Michael drives his car into a lake. Better put on your flame suit for this one, boys.
