“The Office” Season 4 (2007-08, NBC) – Jim and Pam are still cute, but “The Office” went wrong by giving too much screen time to Worst Boss Ever Michael and henchman Dwight. The dinner party, where we get an inside look at the horror of Michael’s home life with Jan, was particularly harrowing, but not in a good way. “The Office” showed signs of recovery in the season finale with a mellowed Michael and a subplot where the new HR director assumes Kevin is mentally challenged.
