the office recently

[life=outdoors92]

in my opinion....stinks. i wish it was funny like before. last night's episode makes no sense to me. also, it seems like they keep building up some kind of story that is going nowhere. any of you like it?

[pinkfloyd4ever]

we've had one going about the office, the office is back, think we have the same feelings. Carrell made the show, goes nowhere without him

[mrklean]

boring that about sums it up

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Ouch, a month off and last nights was there chance to pull me back in and didn't. Everyone going to a gay bar had some potential, I mean Creed Bratton in a gay bar and didn't have a single line? The potential of him walking in and everybody knowing him or something could've pulled some laughs.

I keep getting my hopes up and being let down

[CAMAN]

The potential of him walking in and everybody knowing him or something

LOL!! That would have been AWESOME!! Could have pulled the old Cheers "Norm!" on him.

[toughguy]

I agree. This show has lost its thunder. Might be off my DVR list soon

[McGurk]

Haven't seen a new one in months... It jumped the shark about 3 years ago with the Micheal Scott Paper Company storyline IMHO.

[mrklean]

ill keep watching hoping it gets better

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Last night was it for me, it was the first time since the show started that I chose not to even watch it. The Wild game was not much better but I am done with the show, my buddy watched it and summed it up with "it had so much potential but in the end sucked."

[mrklean]

ill keep watching...but i dont know why

[SFC]

Stick a fork in it. Done

[mrklean]

the past couple weeks have been a bit stronger, i think they are realizing people dont like Andy as boss and are moving more toward Dwight and Jim again

[Double D]

Last night was a bit better. You have to like Stanley in Florida.

The British lady was a little over the top, though.

The part when Dwight went into Jim's hotel room and found a crime scene had me in tears!

[EBass]

Dwight, "Yes Jim."

Jim, "You're bleeding through your shirt"

I still like the show. Pool Party episode was hilarious a week or so ago.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

"I'm a good baiter, Mose he is a master baiter"

Best line of the year. I have to admit, the last two episodes have been funny. The murder set up Jim had in the hotel room was great

[McGurk]

I will admit, the last one had me interested in the plot's future, so I will probably tune in.

Dwight having a son; that's pretty friggin' awesome...

[mrklean]

another episode that wasnt to bad, i like the focus away from Andy i like it

[McGurk]

I may be back in for the long haul. It is almost like they have split the characters into 2 camps, and one of them may be decimated... Take THAT Dunder Mifflin Sabre!

I think I would watch a show taking the "cool kids" group in Florida starting their own franchise/store. I too could do with less of that redhead, but imagine this: Packer as the VP, Jim and Dwight still in-fighting with eachother, less of annoyed and bored Mom-Pam, Ryan making power plays, Erin being Erin, and Gabe getting kicked around. Pull in a few new people, and ditch the rest.

I think there is a core show to be had, but it hasn't been interesting inside the wall of DMS for some time. As much as I wanted to see James Spader/Robert California to be involved, his character has not pulled me in. Pool Party and the last 2 episodes have been the only amusing ones in the recent past.

[Double D]

The bed bug bit was good with Dwight jumping in bed and then saying he was farting continuously under Jims sheet to draw them out.

I don't get this Cathy character, though.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I am the same about Andy, the character does nothing as the regional manager, but his bit as the acting receptionist the week before was pretty funny, and not having any Robert California has been a plus, what an annoying character.

The group in FL has brought me back in, loved Ryan trying to hook up with Erin then "6 MONTHS?! I love Kelly"

[McGurk]

Goodbye, Robert California. We hardly knew you...

James Spader has left the Office on his own terms, apparently. I guess he wasn't happy with the way the show's or his character's direction was going, either.

[mrklean]

Nice, he character was good for one episode but not the entire show, bring back Michael Scott as the new CEO that would be sweet

[mainbutter]

I mean Creed Bratton in a gay bar and didn't have a single line? The potential of him walking in and everybody knowing him or something could've pulled some laughs.

Most underused character in the series, and the greatest potential for laughs. Of course if he's over-used, then they run the risk of ruining the "we don't really know ANYTHING about this guy at all" mystique that makes his jokes actually funny.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I didn't see that Spader left, but I hardly follow entertainment news, other than what I find here on FM, but I gotta admit it, for the first time in a long time, I am looking forward to watching the show tonight.
