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

My wife and I were just discussing last night, that we think that this show may be on the decline. I think a lot of you will definitely agree. I think it has been for a while. They probably need to end it after Michael Scott leaves, but I don't think they will. To be honest, I don't want the show to end, but I'm afraid it's going to get kinda bad.

Unfortunately the Dwight story took up a lot of screen time.

The Pam promotion stuff had it's moments.

Toby and Michael interaction looked promising but fell flat.

I don't know what they were trying to do with Ryan at the end.

All in all a pretty bad episode (IMO).

I agree precisely.

That Dwight storyline was incredibly stupid. Everything he did on the episode was stupid, really. He's funny because he's a weirdo, but he's not a moron. This episode treated him as if he were a legit moron, and it kind of felt out of left field.

I don't know if I want to go there, but if you look at this last episode you could make that assumption. On the other hand I thought the first episode was great. I will say it's not as consistent as it use to be.

Yeah, out of character from beginning to end. If they wanted a loose re-creation of that Julia Roberts Pretty Woman scene, they should have eliminated the beet juice stained hands and a lobotomized Dwight.

I enjoyed the bit when Dwight left the office, and Erin took a pic of him with her camera, said "there", and threw it in the trash.

Then, she explains to the audience how she likes disposable cameras and how they're fun, but she like real cameras better as you can see the pics.

I love her cluelessness sometimes...

That scene was cringe worthy. How clueless and stupid do you want to make these people?

The show stars Michael Scott, who is literally a stupid person.

He drove a car into a lake because a GPS told him to just to prove a point.

Yeah, which still begs the question, "How stupid do you want to make these people"? I think they've gone overboard with Michael sometimes.

I don't know where I'd be in life had I never seen Michael Scott drive his rental car directly into a lake on command. It was a life changing moment for me.

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

There's foolish, there's dim-witted and then there's unbelievably brain dead, and sometimes they cross that line and it's a detriment to the characters and show. The car thing is something that actually happens, people follow GPS instructions that take them into buildings, off roads into ditches, etc. The camera thing is something nobody would ever do, to not only think you don't develop pictures on a disposable camera, but to keep buying and using them?

Hmmmm....all I can say is I don't get it. It's scenes like these that make Michael look like an idiotic cartoon character, rather than the intended clueless loser. I hope you are exaggerating about the scene's impact on your life.

By the way, it wasn't funny.

You're right about the camera thing. I felt embarrasedfor the character of Erin to have to utter those lines, but mostly stunned that a professional writer could come up with something so lame.

JayBee, I've noticed that you seem to really dislike a lot of the shows you watch (and post about).

"Hilarius?"

I guess we have different tastes in comedy.
