the office recently

[mrklean]

looks like Dwight is getting a spinoff show next year, does that mean the end of the office? Last night was pretty good they are showing more and more of Florida and less and less of the Scranton branch

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Last nights wasn't terrible but not on the same level as the last two weeks IMO. If Dwight is getting a spin off the show has to be done I think. Its had a good run though

[Double D]

I came across an article where Rainn Wilson (Dwight) said don't believe everything you read about a spinoff and left it at that.

Last night was good looks like no florida spinoff for dwight

[pinkfloyd4ever]

the show is still on life support, time to pull the plug, or bring in Dr Michael Scott to give it a quick goodbye

[pinkfloyd4ever]

last night was another 30 minutes of my life I can't get back, i had hoped they recaptured magic in the bottle with the FL writing but its just not meant to be. Robert California does nothing for me, and this crazy british woman is too over the top. Kill off that character

[mrklean]

Yea it was weak took a few steps back

[EBass]

+1

[mrklean]

last night was pretty good after a couple of really weak episodes

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I think the overall story was weak but the episode was saved by giving creed a couple lines, FINALLY, and Ryan's love obsession for Kelly

[EBass]

It had it's moments, but it's just not the same with out Michael Scott and I don't think they will be back next season. It was a good run.

The problem I'm having with the show is that they keep introducing lame characters that are odd and don't fit. I think everyone can agree that the core characters of the show are solid and have helped the show remain on the air as long as possible. Then they screw it up with Robert California and Nellie and finally jumped the shark. Also, what ever happened to Cathy after she hit on Jim in Florida? Magically vanished? Last year, Deangelo hired an assistant named Jordan and she also is gone without explaining.

On another note, Dwight does have a spin off. He will remain on the office, but will also have his own show called The Farm. Chronicles the life of Dwight and Mose at Schrute Farms. Rainn Wilson confirmed this on late night TV (Conan or Leno, can't remember).

[pinkfloyd4ever]

yawn.... I do agree though the core characters are being lost with these new faces and none of them do anything for me

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Mercifully, it ended last week. I'll give it some credit, the finale had some moments though

[mrklean]

Final season weak so far

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I have to admit that I have completely forgot about the office, I guess that shows what last season did for me. Will have to watch them online and catch up, or see if its worth keeping up on

[mrklean]

Horrible just end it now

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Yes, I'll still check in on it, but like Michael Scott, I have moved on

[zamboni]

I still think the show jumped the shark the season Kathy Bates was on it. I have liked her in most of the stuff she has done, so it isn't her- it was the writing. I watched the season premier last week and just hated it. Dwights storylines have gone way down, and he was 90% reason to watch the show.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I don't know why I put myself through another 30 minutes of it last week, I guess I keep thinking it will rekindle but it isn't going to

[McGurk]

They tamed Jim down, took the semi hot secretary and made her the frumpy mother of two, got rid of the the manager that could toe the line between a good friend and an obnoxious boss, tried to force second tier characters to the front, and tried off site locations. None of it stuck (but I love me some Creed and Mose) and it just got lame with forced storylines and character development. They would have been better off ending it the exact moment Micheal left, and on a high note.

[mrklean]

Yea i still dont know why i watch anymore maybe hoping michael ismgonna come back or something

[huntnfish]

(but I love me some Creed and Mose)

I quit watching when Michael left, although I caught a recent episode when they picked Creed up on the side of the road. Anytime I need a laugh I just picture Mose running along Jim and Pam's car when they went to the bed and breakfast.

[mrklean]

Quick update it still stinks

[pinkfloyd4ever]

yes it does
