Did anyone watch The Office last night? I have noticed a decline in the quality of the show for awhile now, but after last nights episode it appears it has officially jumped the shark. A show that was once a clever satire on office life has now devolved into some kind of bizzaro relationship-centric show who’s (or whose, i never know) characters are no longer believable. It was fun to see how much these characters exhibited the same traits (albeit in concentrated forms) as the people we work with every day. Michael, Jan, Dwight, Angela, etc. have now become caricatures of caricatures. What was once a cleverly funny show that played on the idiosyncrasies of desk jockeys, is no more different than a live action Family Guy episode.
Farewell, my friend. I hardly knew ye…

100% agreed. it was cool when all of the characters in your pic were in the show. now its just the main 5 or so. i havent seen toby or roy in like a year now. retarded. i would have thought the writers would have thought of good ideas in their months off.

so i’ll be honest that i haven’t seen this season. but it’s sad it has come to that. too many good shows go out this way. it better not happen to Lost. and that shark thing was pretty interesting. who knew?
