the office is back!

[McGurk]

Will Ferrell starts his run tonight, and we get to see the fallout of the DM management shift. Frankly, I'm happy to see some new storylines, material, and major character movement. It has been pretty stale even with the usual silliness. I always thought the Sabre buyout was pretty lame.

weak very weak was no impressed with ferrell coming over so far

I agree, the opening scene at the bar was funny, after that it was down hill

[LMITOUT]

With Michael leaving it is the end of the end for The Office. The only actor that I could see keeping the series going is Alec Baldwin.

It was a good run.

[mrklean]

yeah they would really have to pull something out of their hat to keep it funny and good after he leaves

[McGurk]

I heard that Rainn Wilson (Dwight) may not be returning next season, either. Something about not being able to do live theater and TV at the same time. I could see it continuing with one of those 2 gone, but never both of them. All of the other cast members could go with little impact. Actually, I see it being better without Michael than without Dwight. Jim- fading away, Pam- annoying with power, the rest of them, wouldn't be missed as they were simply added to plotlines as needed. I will say that I like the Andy and Darryl bro-mance!

As I've said before, though, I am not really attached to the show anymore anyway.

[mrklean]

If dwight leaves I'm done watching

[pinkfloyd4ever]

and you'd have to change your avatar! It won't be the same without Michael and hard to get that type of chemistry once a central character leaves.

[mrklean]

what is happening to the office its not even funny anymore i would think they would really try and go out with a bang but man it sucks

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Delivering the Dundy invites was funny, mainly egging Toby's house. You're right, there hasn't been a classic office episode in quite some time

[mrklean]

i like most Will Ferrell movies but he sucks on the office, ok last night not a great episode they better end the season with a bang or im done with the office

[Double D]

Not their best work but I did like

"Gabe, a word of advice: put some make up on your Adam's apple, you won't look so much like a transvestite"

[McGurk]

Agreed. I didn't know what to expect w/ WF, but I do not like what they are having him do. Didn't care for most of the goodbyes, although Toby's brother was kinda funny in an unnerving way. What a list of people coming up, though!

William Arnett plays 'Fred Henry', Raymond Romano plays 'Merv Bronte', and James Spader plays 'Robert California'. These are real, guys," she tweeted. Kaling then added, "Catherine 'The Great' Tate is Nellie Bertrum. (Again, real.)

All those, plus Jim Carrey and Ricky Gervais! I guess I'll keep watching for these spots alone. They'll have to warok hard to hook me again, though.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I liked Michael's final episode, had some good lines like Double D said about the adam's apple. WF is doing nothing for me either, hit his high point in old school. The stare down with Toby for the goodbye was funny, and the 30 backward shots until one went in.

The show has made ahout what, 8 good seasons? so it is nearing the end of its run IMO.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

this latest episode was pretty good, avoided a Carell let down. Ryan pretending to be Kelly's supervisor was a funny bit.

[McGurk]

Yawn. Jim's getting kicked out of the popular kids clique Inner Circle was kinda funny, I guess. This show shoulda left on a high note a couple of years ago.

[zamboni]

Kevin Malone would have been a better boss.

[mrklean]

ha it was better this past week hopefully the season ends with a bang

[Double D]

More Creed, Stanley, Kevin and Meredith, please.

DD

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Right on Double D- you can't have enough Creed

[mrklean]

who would have thought carell and ferrell leaving would make the show funnier

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Creed is interim manager!

[Double D]

You had to laugh when Kevin went in the bathroom after Dwight threw the pihrana in the toilet.

DD

[mrklean]

haha i enjoyed that
