I'm talking about The Office, of course.

Since we don't get BBC America down here in the sticks, we had to wait for the two specials that conclude the series to be released on DVD. They finally came out this week, and went right to the top of my Netflix queue.

George and I were so addicted to this series, that when we watched the first two seasons on DVD this summer, we felt the need to dole it out as slowly as we could. But tonight, we just blew it out and watched the specials back to back. We had to find out what happened with Dawn and Tim, especially after season 2 ended on such a difficult note for them.

The question is, how can something so painful to watch be so hysterically funny? Half the time I'm cringing, holding my hands over my eyes, and yet at the same time, I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

Funniest line of the special: "Can we not talk about my dead mother's breasts?"

Biggest disappointment: David didn't do his dance. Although if you go into the Bonus Material, there is a clip of it there. Thank God.

And as for Dawn and Tim . . . well, you'll just have to find that out for yourself. I strongly recommend that you start with season one, and work your way forward. Knowing how it ends would just take all the fun out of it.
