TV: The Office

I just watche whole season and loved it, this show really just makes me laugh. I agree with Michal being obnoxious, but he's still very funny to me.

I loved the episode where he goes to the company conference where they handle questions by the employees and also the episode where he has to face the students he promised college tuiton to.

I'm actually liked Andy a lot this season, he wasn't as annoying, but just an idiotic character that one actually roots for a bit.

Dwight was awesome last season I thought.

Anyways, new season starts tonight and it's Steve Carell's last one for the show. Surely going to miss him, but I'm also very interested in seeing how they go about replacing him. Do they promote from within or bring a new dude. I heard rumors of bringing the dude from the UK, that would be sweet. I don't know who here watches Loiue on FX, but he kills it there.

new season premiere was pretty awesome.

When I mentioned to someone the other day that this is gonna be Steve's last season, they said that the show was gonna fall apart then. But I think they've actually done a pretty good job of building up all the other characters. I think it could still run without Steve.

Awman, his nephew "I love cinema. My favorite movies are Citizen Kane, and The Boondock Saints" lol, too good. rofl, and the double negative thing "that's as clear as I can make it."

Also that ending to the episode was hysterical. A great way to close it out. Michael sitting there, seriously contemplating between his job or Toby xD

I really, really, really cannot wait until Holly comes back. As sad as I am to see Michael go, I hope they do it wonderfully. But I trust these guys. The writers are awesome and even though some of the plots have lost their momentum after Dunder-Mifflin went under, I still adore the series. Again, I am super hyper anxious for Holly's return. :3

I enjoyed this season opener more than most of the episodes from last season, but it was still far from the heyday of the series. The opening sequence was terrible and felt forced. I think I'm way past forgiving the hubris afforded Michael Scott in running the business and pissing off his employees. What could have been a great running topic about nepotism was handled poorly and then disposed of too quickly. Also, the prankster-Pam subplot was also introduced and then quickly remedied. It would have a been a good way to develop the Pam/Jim relationship (which is stagnant) and start a Pam/Dwight relationship that could have been gold.

It seems the writers are working on an episode by episode basis, fully expecting to be canceled at any time. That's no way for a good series to be written.

Well, Steve is done with the show. Last week was his last one. I thought it was a pretty good episode with some good comedy and emotional moments that were quite fitting I thought. I've been underwhelmed with Will's guest spot at the moment. I think we're going to see a couple of more until the season is over.

So, who's going to be the next boss do you guys think? Or am I the only one up to date?

Anyone miss Steve Carrel's character? I think the show is still pretty good without him. James Spader is awesome.
