http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/the-office-ending-season-9-364352 I can't believe its finally coming to an end. My initial response Spoiler <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/umDr0mPuyQc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The Office is past it's prime, so I agree it's a good idea to end it this season but it's going to be pretty sad when it all wraps up. Hopefully Michael Scott comes back for an episode, I know Carrel kind of shot it down but no way could they wrap up and end a series like this without bringing him back. Maybe he comes back and they all together watch the what the documentary team has filmed over all the years? Idk, but I like the idea of things actually wrapping up with the characters, not just running through the motions episode after episode.
There's also talks of the Scranton Strangler being revealed which I'm pretty excited for. It will be sad when the final episode finishes but it was a fun ride. Hopefully the Dwight spinoff is good enough to last a few seasons.
I'm probably the biggest office fan still out there so it is gonna be sad to see it end However, I also think its probably time for it to end. It did lose some of its comedy when Carell left but I still enjoyed it. Hopefully it will be a awesome season.
Not trying to hate, I love the Office and it is my favorite show on TV. I will be very sad when it ends, and would want it to stretch on longer but I think wrapping it up now rather then later is a better idea. I'm just hoping for a great season.
I guess end of an era? Between the Office and Arrested, it felt like TV comedies took a huge step forward. Sad to see what Pam and Jim's characters devolved into after 7 years.
That sucks. Oh well, it was bound to happen. Now if only someone at Showtime could pull the plugs on Weeds. God I can't believe that show keeps going on.
I just don't understand why they steered clear of what made it famous. Watch andy now and watch him when he was first introduced. He used to be HILARIOUS with his kind of stuck up ultra preppy wanting to be accepted cornell deal. Now he dresses normal, almost acts normal....where is the interest in that? Even dwight lost his charm with his whole bears beat farm and jim tricking him and now he is even more normal and just conscious and aware. It looks like that they left the characters that everyone just enjoyed to laugh at so much and played off of eachother. Even with out Michael they could've preserved that moving forward rather than changing their personalities entirely The one i will never get is Kelly the new receptionist. I get that she is supposed ot bef unny in acting stupid, but almost every line and everything she does just leaves the cricket sound for me as in i get what she is trying to do but both the lines and the execution just forced. Its like she must be friends with the writers so they try to add her in and she is just unnecessary and even more unbelievable(yes even for an outlandish comedy with the likes of dwight, andy etc) I just don't buy into her and what she does. It is awkward when she is on and not the awkward she tries to intend it to be. I would've loved to continue watching but they just left everythign I enjoyed and its a damn shame.
Really really curious to see what Arrested does when they get back. How could a show like that get cancelled, it was brilliant! I didn't catch onto it till last year and now i can't wait.
As much as it pains me, I agree it's best to nip it in the bud after this one. Man I was a late bloomer with The Office and started watching it when Netflix first started streaming all of the first five seasons. Before I knew it, I found myself watching 2-3 episodes before going to bed and 2-3 episodes after waking up every morning. I eventually felt like I was a part of the Office lol I'd wake up excited to "go to work" just to see what shenanigans Dwight would be getting into. I've still be able to find entertainment in the later to recent seasons, so I have no doubt (for me at least) they won't do no wrong with the final run.
haha, i am not much of a tv show watcher but i am the same way, i got hooked on the office late and even now feel almost a sense of familiarity with the characters that is why i hate how they changed it. Its one thing to evolve, its another thing to change the entire dynamic.
Halloween episodes were always golden. The Christmas ones were probably better though... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cPXSGKHUSy0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I'm glad they're finally bringing it to an end. Too many seasons really dilutes the quality of the show.
Thought the last season was one of the best in years actually. It would have stayed on if the actors didn't wanna bolt.
