Ohio against the world.
I have to agree it's weak sauce. Shows in the past could do clip shows because there wasn't 20 channels they were syndicated on, there was no Hulu or Youtube, no full seasons on DVD. Why am I going to spend 30 minutes watching 2 minutes of new material forced around old clips because the writers got lazy?
The Office is just one or two "meh" episodes away from getting bumped to "watch on DVR when I have nothing better to do" status.

It's already there for me. I usually watch basketball or some sort of sports on Thursday nights after 'Community' then watch 'The Office' on dvr over the weekend. The only shows I make it a point to watch live now (when I can) are 'House', 'Men of a Certain Age' (which has been surprisingly very good), 'Modern Family' and 'Community'.Abenaki;1657214; said:

I'm suprised to see all of the angst towards this season. I thought the episode where Pam and Jim come back from their honeymoon to find out Michael is dating Pam's mother was one of the series' best. Seems it has become chic to trash the show lately even though I think the material is just as good.
For those upset that some of the shows more comical character aren't getting enough tv time, I guess I wonder when Kevin/Creed/Stanley were ever a central portion of the show?

The first couple of seasons did a great job of working in the stellar supporting class almost every episode. That hasn't been the case the past couple of seasons. When was the last time we heard a word out of Phyllis? Last time Stanley had more than 20 seconds of screen time? Everybody used to get screen time every episode, now characters disappear for weeks. The little subtleties that made the show so good are gone. They're spending too much time concentrating on extended "storylines" and have dived headlong into sitcom territory. It's roots are as a sort of "mocumentary" and they've gone completely away from that. That was the show I loved.OH10;1657293; said:
When your first 2-3 seasons are so good, there's bound to be backlash. It's hard to keep up to that standard. My issue is that they've totally changed the format of the show. How far off is a laugh track?

Now all we get is 'who is your worm guy' which is classic but far too little creed.
Same with swedish chef - sesame street from Kevin. He still has an occasional line, but a lot fewer than he usd to have.

Angela was a great character which they absolutely ruined by turning her into a hormone-crazed bimbo. At least with Dwight, it was her soul mate. Drooling over the new office supervisor was a new low. So much for using Angela's judgmental religion for humor. They tried during Pam's wedding (& ensuing bastard child) and it just doesn't work any more.

Have we had more than one good prank on Dwight all season? That alone pokes a pretty huge hole in that claim.

Central? Rarely, but Stanley & Kevin were very frequent roles in the earlier season, creed a bit less often. How long has it been since any of those three had a meaningful role? I can't remember anything with stanley (besides staying for sandwiches) since the early fall affair which wasn't funny.
