The thing about Jim v. Tim (no wonder I couldn't figure out tim's name...) is that Tim is a true underdog, with his believable shyness and respect for Dawn's relationship and physical inferiority of Dawn's fiancee. Where as Jim is the kind of guy that I have a hard time believing that he wouldn't be going out and picking up chicks left and right, no matter how bright a torch he holds for Pam. He's on an even playing field with Pam's boyfriend, in both attractiveness and the whole male physical dominance thing (e.g. when he nails pam's fiancee in the basketball episode).

I guess I can sum the whole thing up with the fact that you would never believe that Jim would get "Hat FM" from his mother on his birthday.

Like I said, I started out by watching the last few episodes on HULU and am now watching from the beginning on netflix, just now in the beginning of season 3. The whole thing with Jim and the chick at the Scranton branch totally screws with the chemistry that made the office xmas special so fucking poignant.

However, after actually having a dream about the office last night, I think I'm getting a little sick of it at this point. The UK version will always be superior, however, I wish there had been a UK Toby.
