    Parks has a significantly higher batting average. Season one sucks, but that's 6 episodes. The Office is roundly (and justly) criticized for having a minimum two truly horrendous full-length seasons if not three.

    I love all three shows and all have a place in my top 5 OAT, but for me 30 Rock > Parks > Office. Sending prayers to all the dummies who aren't quick enough to catch 30 Rock's lightning fast AD-style wit.

    I didn’t follow the office one bit when it was on the air.

    So when Michael Scott left for Colorado I always thought he would be back :( . Almost on the final season now

    I didn't either but the prime era of the Office came when I never really had time to watch any TV other than some sports. Didn't have much time for watching TV shows during undergrad/grad school when I was working part time jobs or being a grad assistant while going to school full time.

    Without Michael Scott I don’t have as much excitement about watching the rest

    the show definitely declines, but there are still some good episodes and it all needs to be watched for the finale to really hit home

    Because of this thread, I ended up watching all of Season 5 of Parks and Rec in the last 20 hours. Working from home isn't always the most productive.

    Just finished The Office. The last "that's what she said" was great. I do wish Michael Scott was involved more in the last episode.

    Anybody who watched that entire series and says they didn't get choked up when Michael showed up in the finale is a damned liar.

    You could tell that scene was real. Both actors were really struggling to get through it.

    Has this become the official thread?

    I started rewatching a couple weeks ago. Just got the the return (Dwight just left/Oscar returns/Andy annoys the shit out of jim and Michael)

    Think this is one of my favorite eps. So many great lines

    Where's dwight?
    You didn't hear? Decapitated. Whole big thing
    We had a funeral for a bird.
    Yeah, I don't think any of that's real.
    You're not real, man!
    ...
    Who was that sportscaster that bit that lady? Marv something? Andy is like Marv something. Great sportscaster. Big weirdo creep
    ...
    I forgot to tell you the plan for Saturday. You, me, beers, buzzed. Wings, shots, drunk. Waitresses hot. Football: Cornell-Hofstra. Slaughter. Then, quick nap at my place and we hit the tizzown.

    That last one in particular was used all the time in college.

    :laugh: love that one and this one:

    When I was in college I used to get wicked hammered. My nickname was puke. I would chug a fifth of socos, sneak into a frat party, polish off a few people's empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do some body shots off myself, pass out, wake up the next morning, puke, rally, more soco, head to class. Probably would have gotten expelled if I had let it affect my grades, but I aced all my courses. They called me Ace. It was totally awesome. Got straight B's. They called me Buzz.

    Andy was an amazing character as a salesman. Less good as office manager.

    I watched Michael's Last Dundies last night and I love him trying to coach Will Ferrell on award presentation.

    Deangelo: Jim Halperts's here tonight, everybody. So Jim, where were you on 9/11?

    Wife's birthday was during the hurricane and the house we were at was out of power. I made her a handwritten "IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY." banner. Got a good laugh out of her from it.
