Jenna Fischer was also sexy as hell in Dewey Cox, but “Pam” is at best average, specially as they are showing her now.

I still think Pam’s sexy.

> I love Pam. I’m a lot like Pam. But women like me and Pam? We don’t really have men fight over us. Not multiple times either. I’m sure it’s not unheard of in the entire history of the world, but it stretches my suspension of disbelief. And yeah, the camera guy wasn’t fighting for her, necessarily. He might have done that no matter who was going to be on the receiving end of the crazed warehouse guy, but the pining over her for years and years? I just have a hard time thinking so many guys did (Jim, camera guy, Roy after the break up, the Mad Men guy when she was at art school, Toby).

Keep in mind this is Scranton, PA at a company where people have basically stayed in the same job in the same office for at least 8 years. They don’t exactly have a huge pool of attractive women to pick from.

My whole issue is with the occassional violent “freak-outs” like the warehouse A-hole and Roy when he tried to attack Jim seasons ago. They are completely out of context with the absurd character of the rest of the show.

I’ve seen them happen. One of those 'nicest guys in the world" type people that used to work for me dated another employee for a few years then went to work somewhere else. They broke up, she started dating another guy that works here. First guy came back and attacked the new boyfriend. He got a couple of punches in before we pulled him off of the other guy.  
To the best of my knowledge, they’re all civil with each other now.
