One of the things I liked about "The Office" was that, by far, the plots/subplots were believable. The entire "Michael Scott Paper Company" thread from last year struck me as incredibly unbelievable. The idea behind "Mafia" wasn't bad, but again...a tad unbelievable. Kevin's joke to Oscar about prison was predictable, but he did have some funny stuff elsewhere in the episode.
Seasons 1, 2, and 3 were all pretty good. Season 4 had some strong episodes ("Dinner Party.") Season 5 had promise, especially with the arrival of Holly. But now, Holly is nearly off the show, Jan hasn't been seen for a while, Jim and Pam are married, Dwight isn't like he used to be, and it seems like the writers are out of ideas.
By the way, where the hell is Todd Packer? They need to get him back ASAP. He hasn't had a dull scene yet. ("Either this chick is a dude, or Halpert went and got scared straight!")
