Time for this show to get back to what it was intended to be, "A workplace comedy" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Since the second episode, all the storylines have been non-office related and I find myself getting bored. I will give the last episode a pass because most sitcoms do halloween theme episodes but after this week i would like to start seeing workplace stories or I'm done with the show. I'm not sure if the writers are purposely getting away from workplace stories because of the economy and they feel that since most people are out of work they won't feel a need to watch since they can't relate.

I don't want to see the SON of the CEO

I don't want to see the BABY of Jim and Pam

I don't want to see Andy's Family

I don't want to see Darryl's Girlfriend

I want to see anything that's related to the title of the show, OFFICE STORIES!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I will be done with this show by 2012 if it doesn't change

I thought that the Halloween episode was the worst. Bob California's son was a predictable little jerk. And I agree... get back to office stuff. Do they even sell anything anymore?

Exactly, after such a great opening episode and a nice 2nd episode, the show has had two bad episodes and I'm slowly losing interest

Brian that means they are turning it into a Pam and Jim spinoff and will set it up all through the OFFICE so that viewers can ease into the new situation. Not Me

Sol, the only reason they are doing that is because Jenna Fischer was pregnant in real life, so they included it into the storylines.

So because she got knocked up in real life they are going to turn the office into a family show?

I thought this week's episode was better. At least they acknowledged that they work!
