Mr. Y reminded me of a couple more classic The Office episodes that should be included in the favorites list:
- Fun Run, Parts I and II - Michael hit Meredith with his car, Jim and Pam were outed as being a couple, Dwight performed a mercy killing on Angela's cat Sprinkles, and Michael organized a rabies charity run.
- The Delivery, Parts I and II - the episode where Pam gave birth to baby Cecelia. It's one of the more realistic depictions of labor and delivery I've seen on television. Labor for first-time moms usually takes awhile, so it makes sense that Pam wouldn't go to the hospital right away. Dwight decided to ask Angela to have a baby with him, and also decided to remodel Jim and Pam's kitchen after discovering mold, even though Jim and Pam told him to just get the iPod and not to touch anything else. Pam was having problems breastfeeding and Lee Kirk, Jenna Fischer's fiance at the time (and now husband), guest-starred as the lactation consultant that Jim didn't like. It was also hilarious when sleep-deprived Pam accidentally breastfed the wrong baby.
- Traveling Salesman - this is the episode that actually shows Michael Scott being a competent salesman. As much as an idiot he can be, it's nice to be reminded that Michael Scott can be good at something. Michael decided that the sales team would pair up to visit their clients. Andy with Michael, Karen with Phyllis, Stanley with Ryan, and Jim with Dwight (they used to sales calls together). It was clear that Jim and Dwight actually made a good team, and Stanley and Phyllis schooled their younger counterparts.
