I beg to differ. He's funny and essential up and until Season 4. From thereon, he becomes just annoying. What US is lacking is the Neil Godwin counterpart to him: someone likeable and competetent to give a certain balance to things. I understand how Michael is supposed to be incompetent and immature and intolerable to some point. But after season 4 I just felt he should be rightfully reprimanded for his behaviour. Instead, a competent yet unsympathetic Charles Miner steps in, leaving me nobody to really root for as far as DM Scranton management goes. Same for Robert California. It's as if the writers try to force us into liking Michael the most just because he's the least worse.
