IT'S JUST . . . I DON'T THINK MANY GIRLS DREAM TO BE A RECEPTIONIST: Now that it's back tonight (and y'all's show on Fox is gone), can we all agree that The Office -- from the leads to the exceptionally deep supporting cast -- is the funniest show on television? And getting even better every week -- the "Valentine's Day" episode, with Michael's tour of Times Square, our encounter with an even worse Dunder-Mifflin regional manager and the further adventures of Ryan-Kelly and Jim-Pam, has a Do Not Delete Unless I Really, Really Mean It tag on our TiVo.

Funniest, and, sometimes, saddest. I don't know that I've ever seen a comedy on network tv with such a core of melancholy to it before. Everyone is stuck, whether with work or romance, and no one's doing a thing about it. Just brilliant stuff.
