      Re: *** The Office: Season 5 ***

      Season 1?? It was 5 episodes long, including the god-awful pilot, which was a rip of the British show almost line for line... That's the worst season of all despite "Diversity Day" and "Basketball"... just nothing to work with.

      My list would be:

      Season 2
      Season 3
      Season 5
      Season 1
      Season 4

      Liked the finale, though I would've really liked an hour-long episode... just felt truncated. I wish there was more resultion with the Michael/Holly thing, but I guess they'll leave that for later.

        I think everyone will agree that season 2 was pure genius. I don't think The Office will ever touch season 2 in the future. Every single episode was funny. I think my problem with season 3 is that it followed season 2 and pales in comparison, but all of the seasons fall far short of season 2.

          Haha, yah, season 1 was definitely not the show's finest... I'd say if you watched that all the way through and still stuck around, THEN you are a true fan, lol.

            Season 3 is my favorite season, followed closely by 2.

              I just can't believe it was the finale... my gf and I both were just like "wait, that's it??"

              I was really hoping for some cliff-hanger type thing with Holly. Oh well.
              Agreed completely. I thought some of the Michael-Holly stuff was a little awkward, but other than that the episode was really good. I don't know if it was the best for a finale. Between this episode and the one before, the season really didn't come to a powerful finish. The episodes were good, just not great as season finishers.

              And the cliff-hanger isn't really that big a deal to me personally.

              I didn't laugh once and the highlight of the episode was seeing Jennie from Office Tally have a 5 second cameo on the show.

              I thought the season started out great with Holly but once she left, the show went downhill. The show did pick up once Charles appeared but it was already late in the season. I couldn't care less about the "cliffhanger". Jim and Pam are boring and making them parents doesn't do anything for me.

              Not having Greg Daniels and Michael Schur fully on board hurt the show.

              If I was in charge, I would write off Andy, Kelly, Phyllis, and Meredith from the show. It's time for some new blood.
              I disagree completely. First of all, what exactly do you mean by Daniels and Schur not being on board? Are you referring to Parks and Recreation? I'm sure The Office is still their top priority.

              Also, I disagree with writing those characters off. The great ensemble cast makes this show what it is.

              Agreed, though I thought season three was still very good and stands above the rest. Season two is far above them all, season three is very good, and then the others are a cut below. I'd agree with Stumbleweed's ranking. This season wasn't the worst or the best. It was a good recovery after last year's strike-shortened season, but it can't tough seasons two and three.

                  Ditto. Especially on the Andy and Meredith front.

                    Daniels and Schur had to divide their time between Parks and Rec and The Office. Both are executive producers on both shows. They only had so many hours to devote to The Office and I felt like it hurt the show.

                          Has anyone been watching the webisodes this year? It's all about Creed blackmailing the staff. I won't say anymore but it's pretty funny stuff.

                                Season premiere is exactly when....?

                                I just saw the SNL skit of the ficticious Japanese version of The Office as presented by Ricky Gervais on Hulu. What a scream.

                                Comes to mind..... why not work Gervais into a run of episodes. He pulls off that snotty, uppity British administrator/professional very well.
