They ruined Mad About You by having Jamie cheat on Paul. Not that she was a beloved character to begin with, but after that there was no reason for Paul to stay with her.


I never stuck around watching that show to catch all that. Did they end the series with them going their separate ways? I remember Jamie reminiscing about being young, single and hooking up with artists in hats. Paul's reaction ? " What kind of hats ? "

I wonder if I am the only one that on that episode where Cathy keeps hitting on Jim, that no one cares when Stanley cleans out Jim’s mini-bar. Is that getting charged to Jim? He charges it to the company credit card? I’ve heard of people losing jobs over this kind of thing. Then Cathy orders room service. Jim’s a chump.

Nah they had a baby. That also killed the series.

I never saw what happened, just an episode where Paul’s not sure if he can stay with her and they’re going to have to talk about it later or something. How did she cheat?

She made out with a guy at work that was chasing her.

I believe that Jim and Pam were supposed to end up divorced in the show. They scratched that idea obviously

Showrunner Greg Daniels wanted to take things a bit further by having Jim and Cathy make out.


Weird direction by Greg Daniels. Good thing Krakowski prevailed.

Was setting up potential affair storyline more about ratings desperation (since Michael left)? OR something more Hollywood-sinister? Like getting a perverted kick out of vandalizing and corrupting Jim -- the show's one stable, loyal character -- and making audience watch?

She definitely wasn’t hot, but she was “office pretty.“

Like, you could definitely believe that she would probably be the prettiest woman in an office of 15 people, but you probably wouldn’t look twice at her at a bar or on a college campus

I didn't really watch a lot of the later seasons since they fell off a cliff. What episode is this in particular?

Pretty sure that’s just Greg Daniels. We tend to remember the funny highlights, but if you watch reruns on Comedy Central enough, he’s pretty brutal to his characters. There’s a lot of “cringe humor” that’s more cringe than humor, and sometimes borders on sadism.

You talking about Rashida Jones? Thats not possible because Rashida Jones is fricking hot. Now Pam was the one you pick up in an airport lounge when you're away from home for a business trip and you are hammered on 2 for 1 frozen margaritas with cheap tequila.

They were talking about Cathy. She isn't hot, cute, but not hot.
