Article says no Scott. I was just speculating since it seems krasinski and helms actually have movie, excuse me, film careers and I don't remember seeing the rest of the cast in anything
Don't post spoilers about this long concluded show or you will take a ban and theel will NOT serve it for you
Why? The best that can happen is it’s awesomd, the worst that can happen is you don’t have to watch it
exactly. I am thrilled they will try but concerned that it will be office in name only with none of the original cast outside of some random cameos
Office without Michael Scott struggled mightily at times. A reboot without Michael Scott and most major characters, prolly not gonna be good at all. Maybe even awful. Will watch tho
I know I'm in the minority but outside the episodes where Nelly is manager I don't hate the show without Michael.
Honestly, with the amount of cast missing, they're probably best off doing a complete reboot with new characters. Do it in the Buffalo branch or something and hope for solid cameos from the Scranton people. Trying to recreate the "old" Office with Creed and Oscar is going to be way worse than taking the theme and starting from scratch.
Maybe it will go the direction of Parks & Rec. Start as an "Office version #2" but then become something completely different. Because I don't see any way that this won't suck.
Agreed. Michael Scott is an absolutely incredible character, but he was best in doses. In the later seasons, he got too over-the-top. Despite being a bit of an asshole and completely oblivious, he still had to be a savant of a salesman to get the character to be believable. Toward the end, he developed into such a moron that you really couldn't buy him being in that position.
The office was great season 2 and 3, had flashes of brilliance season 4. Then it was good the ep Michael left and the last two episodes of the series, where it had one of the best finales ever. No need to bring it back. Let a different project take it's spot and hopefully it turns into a classic. These fucking retread projects never work. Even the ones that do (curb) aren't the same as the original run. What is wrong with just letting show stay gone?
The same could be said for every character. The last season of Michael Scott and thereafter each character were almost cariatures of themselves, and stale plots.
Wife and I watched a few Christmas episodes the last few days and decided we’re going to spend NYE watching our favorite eps. I proposed we commit to at least 6 episodes with each of us offering up 3 eps and 1 alternate. We each have 1 veto to shoot down an ep, which would be replaced by the alternate. If we have a shared pick, we’ll flip a coin to see whose alternate gets aired. We’ll watch them in sequential order. It’s an impossible task to narrow this down, as I’m currently at 5 eps (but really 7 because of two-part eps): The Dundies, The Convict, Dinner Party, Niagara and Finale. I’m 100% positive she’ll pick Niagara and the Finale, but have no idea what direction she’ll go in otherwise.
Hot take: Pam become one of the worst, most annoying characters on the show when they expanded her role
I agree. For me, I always got annoyed how the show continuously portrayed Jim and Pam as this holier than thou, do-no-wrong type of characters. It got so repetitive.
The writers really did a terrible job by deciding to turn her into one of those shrill, joyless, nagging wife cliches. No idea why they went that route, but the whole hating Jim for having the audacity to follow his dreams and make a better life for their family than working at Dunder Mifflin made no sense given how her character had behaved previously.
One of my favorite Michael moments is when the Asian chicks he picks up whisper in his ear that they are going to suck his dick and he says "That's what she said!"
You mean when she became a total self centered bitch and tried to ruin her husband's dreams? Yea I'd have to agree.
The Deangelo Vickers episodes were incredible. I wish Ferrell could have stayed on a little longer post Carrell.
