Thursday night will be a special night. It will be for anyone who is into “The Office,” anyway. NBC’s hysterically funny prime-time comedy will be returning for its fifth season this week. Set eight weeks after the tear-jerking final five minutes of last season’s finale, Michael Scott and his Dunder Mifflin crew will be bringing back the funny. In celebration of this event, I’ve compiled a list of the top 10 reasons why you should be excited for this Thursday’s premiere. 10. Goodbye Toby, hello Holly Holly Flax, Dunder Mifflin’s new HR rep., is cute and quite possibly the perfect match for Michael Scott. Not only is she replacing Toby, whom Michael hated with a fierce passion, she’s quirky like Michael, and during her introduction in the season four finale, she and Michael really seemed to hit it off. Oh no, but what about Michael’s ex, Jan? This should be interesting. 9. Jan’s having a what? Jan should not be allowed to have a baby. While it’s a relief the child isn’t a spawn of Michael, it’s still damaging to humanity that she will reproduce. Jan is a self-centered woman who is completely insane and possibly unfit to have children. Hopefully starting a family will chill her out. What I want to know is whether Michael will stay true to his word and stand by his ex-woman. 8. Can somebody please kill Andy Bernard? Andy is annoying, and I still don’t understand why Angela agreed to marry him. From his usual stupid antics to ruining Jim’s attempts at proposing to Pam, I hope Dwight gives him what’s coming to him. Plus, I could live without ever hearing Jim referred to as “Big Tuna” ever again. 7. Dwight versus Jim, round 1,768,392,134 The battle between Jim and Dwight is both epic and classic. From staplers in Jell-O to mysterious notes from the future, those two sure know how to keep things from getting boring. Well, Jim knows how to keep things from getting boring. Dwight is just entertaining because he gets so incredibly mad. 6. Ryan got in trouble, Ryan got in trouble What will happen to Ryan, the temp-turned-big-man? Last time he was seen it was on a video of him being taken away from the head Dunder Mifflin office by police in handcuffs on YouTube. Is he ever going to hear the nasty message Jim left him on his phone? Is he done for? He ended up becoming such an arrogant piece of crap that I kind of hope he is. Or maybe not, just because it would be fun to watch him get beat up by Darryl for being a jerk to Kelly or something. 5. Dunder Mifflin, this is – Pam went where? Pam Beesley, the lovely little Dunder Mifflin receptionist and love of Jim’s life, is going to New York to go to art school. Who’s answering the phone now? Is Jim OK? Are they still together? I want to know what happened to Pam. 4. My life is incomplete without Jim’s awkward faces One of the best things about “The Office” is Jim Halpert’s weird faces he makes at the camera. His happy faces — his “swoon” face, his worried face, his awkward face, his scheming face — they’re all classic. 3. Don’t cry Dwight, don’t cry Dwight Schrute’s love, Angela, is now engaged to Andy. Or is she? The closing scene from last season’s finale was Phyllis walking into the office to find a shocked Dwight and Angela doing a naked dance. Dwight was pretty emotionally destroyed after he lost Angela to Andy, but is he the winning man in the end? 2. What will Michael Scott do next? Michael is an idiot, but he’s a funny idiot. He does ridiculous things, most of the things that come out of his mouth end up being classic one-liners. He’s Michael freaking Scott. He said he’s going to be a daddy, so hopefully that doesn’t make him grow up. I’ve grown fond of his silliness. 1.“J-A-M” Whether they’re together or pining away for each other when they’re single, Jim and Pam are almost as irresistible as Mulder and Scully. I desperately hope they get their happy ending. If not, I’ll stop watching the show. Actually, I probably won’t because their unresolved sexual tension was pretty addicting.
