For me, Jim and Pam from The Office are the definition of “relationship goals.” Sure, they had their ups and downs in their relationship, but don’t we all? For that reason, I have compiled a complete list of the best Jim and Pam episodes to watch this Valentine’s Day. You may ask yourself, why trust me, a random writer? Well, I have watched the entirety of The Office about 5 times, and consulted experts on the perfect episodes. Wine and popcorn are required for the list too. No boys needed!
