I'd say it's important. The Jim and Pam story develops very slowly and subtly. Try to stick to the order.

That's what I thought~ oh well, nbc.com doesnt make it easy for me. They dont seem to list the episodes in order which is rather annoying.

Thank goodness for IMDB! They do list in order. Does anyone even know if THE OFFICE is running repeats over the summer or was the marathon a one shot deal? Any site which will show the release date of season 2? Really want to get caught up before Season 3 starts this fall.

Anyone else read the article in I think it was, Entertainment weekly, where the actually said that The Office Doesnt deserve best comedy and Steve Carell didnt deserve an award either, they said first the show isnt as good as the british version and they said Steve Carell and other make this feel like a SNL skit. I was thinking wtf when reading this, The office has to be the best show on tv

it's not as good as the british version, but still the best comedy on tv.
