The Office 5K

I don’t normally push TV shows, but The Office is one of my favorites. It’s one of several shows right now, like Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO), The Sarah Silverman Show (back next week on Comedy Central), and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (F/X) that makes you laugh and squirm at the same time. The Office is a bit tamer than the rest, but it has the same idea: people behaving badly, sometimes very badly. In this case, it’s hopeless office manager and friend-to-everyone-and-no-one Michael Scott.

Anyway, tonight’s episode apparently concerns Michael’s very own 5K race for a ‘cure’, which you can bet will cure nothing. From the website:


HE RUNS FOR THE CURE-SPECIAL ONE-HOUR PREMIERE - A freak accident causes Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) to feel the office is cursed. He explores the religious beliefs of his employees before deciding to hold a charity 5K fun run.

It took a while to get there, but I loved the last ten minutes when Steve Carrell was sitting on the ground before getting to the finish line, looking and feeling like hell. And puking at the end. Spectacular.
