Re: *** The Office: Season 7 ***

I don't think McBride's standard character/attitude would fit in well with the show... I also think it would be a mistake to "replace" Carrell with another star-ish type. If they're smart, they soldier on with the great ensemble cast they have and add another low-key actor that can work into a character rather than a well-known actor who has a "thing" already. Just would make the transition more stark...

Agreed 100%.

I love McBride, but I don't think he is a good fit for this show, at all.

Jim should become the regional manager after Michael leaves, and possibly they had a salesmen as a new cast member.

And now Rhys Darby has joined the rumor mill.

Please GOD let that happen.

No reason for this clip (aside from the fact that it's completely awesome). I just like The Office:

Re: *** The Office: Season 7 ***

Honestly, once Carrell is gone, I'd rather them just cancel the show because, from then on, the show will just go downhill (which it's already doing).

On the other hand, it doesn't seem like it's been seven years since The Office started. Time flies.

Re: *** The Office: Season 7 ***

But can't you just quit watching superjames? Why does it have to be canceled once he leaves? I've never understood fans of shows who desire it to be canceled once it doesn't meet their standards. I know I'm a huge X-files fan and once David Duchovny left it became awful but I never called for it to be canceled.

Re: *** The Office: Season 7 ***

I saw Rhys Darby's name out there too. He pulled off the clueless manager role pretty well in Flight of the Conchords.

Now that would be awesome! Flight of the Conchords is playing on my iTunes as I type this....

Agreed.

Maybe for a drama, because if they run a drama too long it makes the ending bad and effects the series as a whole, but for the Office, I don't see how a few not so good seasons of the office is worse than no office.

I was pretty much with you until Rhys Darby's name was tossed around the rumor mill. If he's on I'll be watching.

100% agree. I'll never understand why a fan of a show would want it to be canceled.

I'm really looking forward to this starting back up. I really enjoyed last season.

He doesn't say it, but it sounds to me like McBride would be in if they'd offer:

Man, if he's in, he'd be the perfect replacement. I hope it happens. I like McBride, but I'm just not seeing it.

Definitely-I'm sure McBride is capable, although I was not drawn in to his Eastbound & Down series. I threw the towel in after 3 episodes.

Re: *** The Office: Season 7 ***

Season 6 out on DVD/Blu today. First time since I got into the show (which was the summer between seasons 3 and 4) that I won't be picking up a season on release day. I'm not anxious to relive season 6.

Reviews:
http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/3539/office_s6.html (absolutely blasts season 6)
http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/officeseason6.php (liked season 6)
http://bluray.ign.com/articles/111/1118105p1.html (indifferent leaning towards negative)

Thats because this version of the show HASN'T been around for 7 years. It started in 2005.

Re: *** The Office: Season 7 ***

Just finished watching through all the seasons on DVD/bluray. Having just finished watching season 6 as well this year, I have no problem saying this series is as good today as it was when it first started. Absolutely love it, and I'll definitely be sad to see Michael go after this year.

I'm looking forward to this a TON though!
