He's never been better. Although his coup starts out as a self-described jerk, his character grows wiser and more self-aware as the episodes unfold.

They're less exclusively white, and the wives have fulfilling careers. But in other ways, they feel worse. Tropper offers little of the tender lyricism that makes Cheever's suburbs so seductive.

but that its denizens are far more cut off from one another and from any sense of nobler values. In The Housebreaker of Shady Hill, Johnny Hake steals $900 from a friend and spends the story feeling guilty and ashamed that he's become a thief.

Celebrating 20 Years Of 'The Office'
