Proving that there is occasionally room for advancement in The Office, even in an increasingly paperless world, the NBC comedy has promoted Zach Woods to series regular.

In our opinion, Zach, who was introduced last season as Gabe, a.k.a. the insecure bean pole second-in-command at Sabre, is a terrific addition to one of TV's funniest casts.

Somehow, the show has a way of meshing newer characters seamlessly with the core Dunder Mifflin staff. By seamlessly, we mean awkwardly. See The Office quotes section.

Get ready for more passiveness from Gabe in Season Seven!

While some shows have too many cast members, this one excels with one after another. Here's hoping Kathy Bates' Jo makes more appearances going forward, too.
