Sorry, man. I thought you might be.

To be fair, I haven't made it through all of Season One yet. And there are funny bits and pieces, but I don't get the overall appeal. I don't know what I'm missing. It just seems so whiney and arrogent and worn... I don't know... perhaps this is best served in another thread...

This last season of The Office was by far the most tedious and uneven in the show's history. It was stop and go with more discomfort than laughs in between. Uncomfortable humor can be very funny and successful but it has to have perfect aim. The Office (as much as I hate to say it) was off the mark most of last season.

... HOWEVER. From the Christmas episode until the last two of the season, The Office was on fire. It was almost as good as it's ever been in that stretch. The show still has gas in the tank.

Do I think it should end with Carell? Yes. I do. But since it looks like that won't happen, I hope they make a smart move and do exactly as the article says. It's not about replacing Michael Scott with an impersonator or look/act-alike.

I'm not sure who the answer is... but I'll be damned if Michael Emerson wouldn't shake things up and rock the **** outta that show. Of course, I'd rather he and O'Quinn get their hitman show together.

This is do-able, if unwise. It will be difficult. But NBC has a chance to reinvent the show and hit a grand slam here.

Do you think that - if the internet had been around - there would have been discussions like this when Diane left Cheers?

Lol, and people talking about how the last season of ALF was better than the season before, but that Diff'rent Strokes has really lost its burst since they brought in the little red-head kid.

I've always wondered what the discussions would've been like for a show like WKRP in Cincinnati and how people would have canonized the show for the songs they played that night, or an argument between which chick was the hottest: Bailey Quarters or Jennifer Marlowe?

Too bad the *****ing record companies can't get their rights together and get that series on DVD with the original music. That was a great show.

It was a bit before my time. But used to watch re-runs on Nic-at-Nite, and really enjoyed it. I'd love to see the series front to back one of these days.

Never watched Parks & Rec,I don't care for Amy Poehler (sp?). Watched Community once and didn't really care for it even though I like Joel McHale (sp?). Love the Office, but I find myself constantly watching seasons 2 and 3 re-runs, and only watching the episodes from the later seasons once.

It would definitely create a different dynamic, but still revolve around a boss that's pretty easy to hate.

That way the boss is far enough removed from Michael so as to not seem like an 'imposter' but still serves the purpose of the character (i.e. common enemy).
