The Office: Cage MatchGrade: A | Genre: Comedy/Mockumentary
Summary: This was grade-A choice comedy. The Dwight-Jim feud has never been funnier, and Michael's zany mediation suggestions almost toppled the entire office, showing just how incredibly daft he is.

When the Office first made the brave leap across the pond, making its big debut on ever struggling NBC, I was more than a bit skeptical. Other BBC imports have failed the transition miserably, trying to dampen English humor for American audiences (Coupling anyone?). How could the extremely politically incorrect Rick Gervais-inspired Office hope to retain its clever sting? NBC's season one struggled to find its footing, but season two has rocked tha' house, becoming the best comedy series on television. It has escaped the BBC's long shadow to the point where the series is on par, if not better, than the original. The characters are more full and wily, the interactions more electric and you can just see your droll cube farm existence unfold to comic delight. This week, we have an old fashion cage match, Michael Scott style. Michael (Steve Carell) puts every problem every person in the office has with one another on the table for review. Pass the popcorn.

David Blaine Left Breathless
Category: Television News

After a seven-day stay in the water bubble, world record chaser and publicity hound, David Blaine, came up short. He held his breath for 7 minutes and 8 seconds, a full minute and fifty seconds short of the record. The fruit loop didn't need to stay submerged for six days to conquer the record, but it looked more sensational for the ABC special David Blaine: Drowned Alive. Its not known if his failed attempt will push him on to take on the challenge again.
