Since when did Pam get so bitchy?

Could we blame it on medication? Or should we blame those unsatisfied writers at The Office, so bored of their creation that they’re willing to kink up America’s favorite couple? It’s not a good change, we can be sure of that. In the Pam v Karen competition, I always stuck up for the less sophisticated girl. But I may have finally changed my mind.

One can look back at all the short-lived television shows that have left before their time. Let us weep for Arrested Development. Rend our garments for Freaks & Geeks. Usually we are sad, like a drunk holding a weightless paper sack. But maybe there’s a reason for everything, as some say, and we should be thankful for the television-euthanasia that spares us from shows getting too old and pointless.

(How about that 30 Rock, though?)
