I think Scott has a good point here, and I've been trying to figure out why the "Andy angry scenes" *seem* to be more prominent in the color years. I have a theory about that. I think it may be partly because Andy was actually more subdued and less engaged than in the black-and-white years. Therefore, when he does get angry, it stands out. In the black-and-white seasons, Andy expressed more of a "joie de vivre"--he laughed, joked, and smiled more and was more exuberant overall. So when he did express anger, it was offset by the smiles and laughter. Andy's character projected more warmth in the black-and-white years, whereas his temperament seemed to cool off in the color years. This shift makes his anger in the later years more pronounced to us. It's just a theory. What's your theory?
