Jim and Pam--The Ultimate Television Romance

Before anyone decides to shoot me, there are SPOILERS galore in this.

I'd recently decided to revive my love in The Office, thanks to a little video clip brought up by a certain someone...

So as a result, I spend every waking moment of my life not spent at work (which isn't much, but I do well anyway) watching The Office. Oh, and I'm one of those TV-watchers that gets very...involved in the shows that she watches. Meaning I tend to scream when things don't go my way and I scream when things happen like Jim and Pam's special moment at the end of season 2. Like I said, spoilers.

And as much as I praise the hell out of movies like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid because I am just a five year-old trapped in the ever-childish body of a 19 year-old, romances like that are just so...unrealistic. And yes, while I am going against everything that movies are supposed to be all about, how can we expect to watch all of those unrealistic movies and go back into reality where love doesn't go the way we planned?

It is fresh and different for a TV show to mimic life so honestly and still make you believe in love even after watching all of the hell it puts people through. Especially with Jim and Pam. They play this eternal game of ping pong between their relationships. Pam is with Roy, then Jim is with Katie. Jim kisses Pam, but Jim leaves and Pam leaves Roy and Jim dates Karen and Pam gets back with Roy and WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO US?

Even though they mess with our minds, we still watch. Every week. Like our lives depend on those 20 minutes between the theme and the credits. And I think that I enjoy their relationship the most because they are a couple of the most loveable characters around. They spend their days not working but playing pranks on Dwight. They live to see the shenanigans that Michael has set up for them. You want to see them make it so their years of friendship will have been for something.

Now, I'm only three seasons in, but I think I have seen enough to say that The Office is one of my favorite shows, alongside Friday Night Lights, Chuck, Greek, and Merlin. That's the honest truth.

And now, I leave you with a meme to forever torture you.
