ExPAMdable and HELMSessary

So I've been thinking for awhile that Pam Beasley on NBC's The Office no longer has a good use or purpose on the show. Prior to the Halpbert marriage Pam was both funny at times as well as cutesie with Jim. I miss the days where cute Pam would make a humble remark that would be fitting for the particular scene as well as cuttingly funny. Pre-season four was a golden era for her that has now been lost.

I would say that Beasley need to loosen the collar a little bit and play into the humble Pammy that we all came to know and love. It would definitely endear her more to fans again and allow for her quirks to be better appreciated.

Luckily for the show Ed Helms (Oberlin 96') has elevated his game. His sense of humor and delivery is a perfect fit for the continuously changing landscape of The Office. The scene in which he and Pam make a trip for an in person sales call and he's singing the names of the offices and the floor numbers of a particular building is priceless. Helms clearly has a good sense of the type of humor that works for Office fans. The Carell, Wilson, Helms show will definitely keep people watching for years to come and I would love for Pam to be apart of that too.
