Default This show is horrible now

but I guess it doesn't matter since it coming down to the end. But the last 2 episodes have been horrible

The one with Meredith shaving her head bald

Last week's episode was Erin acting like a wacko over a box of pens.



damm, never knew it could get this bad

I absolutely LOVED seasons 1-7. It was my favorite show and it would make me laugh so hysterical that I would sometimes hyperventilate! But I have not liked the last two seasons at all. I haven't liked any episode since Michael Scott left for Colorado. To be honest, the show STINKS! The entire series should have ended on a high note....when Michael left.

Once Steve Carrell left the show, they should've called it a day. The show is now like The Mary Tyler Moore Show without Mary, Cheers without Ted Danson, Barney Miller without Hal Linden, Bewitched without Elizabeth Montgomery...the list goes on and on.

The Office has pretty much ran its course. The writing is not good, because they have basically ran out of ideas, and the people who did forward good ideas are no longer there.

Paul Rubenstien is no longer the show runner. Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak were writers on the series that moved on. Even Ed Helms has moved on, since he hasn't been on the show for about five episodes starting from last fall. I'm in the minority that I do not miss Michael Scott especially, I was looking forward to the post Steve Carell era where the show can be more of an ensamble series, which it sort of became, hit or miss. Catherine Tate seems to be a sore point, but I do not mind her.

I still watch it because it is one of my favorite shows, Dwight Schrute still kicks ass, and mostly.....Ellie Kemper. What a goddess of a woman. I really hope I see her do other productions.

^^^ It's a BAD joke now!

Catlover is right. The show should have called it a day when Steve Carrell left. Again, they should have left it on a high note....like when Seinfeld ended. Seinfeld didn't even wait for the show to become stale. He just knew when it was time to quit. Too bad the office didn't realize their time to quit was after season 7. Now seasons 8 and 9 will only be remembered as major failures.

Dwight did the job for a short while, but proved dictatorial and incompetant.

Creed was totally incompetant.

Stanley and Phyllis are not interested in the position.

Jim did it for awhile and did not like it.

Yes, this show has been the pits since Steve Carell left. Incredible how it's gone from the penthouse to the outhouse in such a rapid fashion.

Default Jim & Pam: The Rise and Fall of ‘The Office’

http://znculturecast.wordpress.com/2...of-the-office/

Quote:
Jim and Pam (John Krasinski and Jenna Fisher) from The Office have always been the through-line of the show. While the other characters, such as Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott, have really defined the nature of the long-running comedy, it was always the Jim/Pam relationship (also known as JAM by various online Office fans) that provided the heartfelt emotion which caused many viewers to continually be invested in the show.

I have been watching The Office since day one, and the early writers of the show did an excellent job developing Jim’s somewhat unrequited love for his co-worker. Helping matters tremendously was Jenna Fisher’s nuanced performance where Pam was torn between her then-boyfriend and her possibly romantic feelings for Jim. Though The Office was squarely a comedy, that situation was played very realistically which was likely one of the reasons the show took off the way it did in the second season.

Then, they finally got together, and it killed all sorts of reasons for caring about these two.

I hate to sound like a hipster or something, but I really feel The Office should have closed its doors after the third season. That finale, “The Job”, brought several character arcs to a natural close. Michael comes to the realization that he needs Scranton, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) takes control of the office (albeit briefly), and, most importantly, Jim and Pam get together. Granted, the show was not going to end as ratings were still high, and there was plenty more to do with these characters. But the Jim and Pam relationship came to a dead stop.

What should have been a “happily ever after” became an awkward attempt to build drama within their relationship. It did not work. First they do the whole “secret relationship”. Then they stretched out when Jim was going to pop the question. These were okay, because it kept the cutesy element.

Honestly, I haven't seen any of this season. I've been afraid to watch it for fear of ruining the show I once so loved. I may or may not watch the last episode. For me, the last episode was when Michael and Holly left.
