The Office (Season Three)

It’s a pleasure to watch a season of “The Office” full of earnest attempts at jokes rather than failing at recapturing the genius of “I feel God in this Chili’s tonight”. The first two seasons of “The Office” would briefly present jokes and then hope the void it presented would fill itself, a shame considering it was quite good at actually landing a joke when it tried. The third season is a little too long, has too many extended episodes, and doesn’t hit every punchline well, but that it succeeds more than it doesn’t leaves it feeling like a godsend.
