flyingdonkey 0 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Season starts tomorrow night for those who don't know.Really excited for this season! Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I am extremely unexcited for this season. The writers failed to provide a fantastic season 5 and I'm very concerned at this point that my once favorite show on TV has jumped the shark.Of course, if the first 3 episodes are fantastic then I will be right back on board.If you throw out (the 6 episode) season 1, I thought season 5 was by far the weakest.

I have to admit that I did laugh less than previous seasons ... but that's not saying much because there were still a ton of laughs to be had last season. I am looking forward to awkward pregnant jokes by Michael! Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 this show is starting to lose me. I'll keep watching, but it certainly isn't must see tv at this point. Link to post Share on other sites

dna4ever 2 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Watched The Office for the first time ever last night during this premier show. Thought it was OK, but not sure what all the rage has been about. I guess since I don't really know the characters that well yet it has some good potential, but I kept seeing The 40 Year Old Virgin and The Hangover guy instead of the characters they were playing on the show.

runthemover 39 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 yea you shouldn't judge this show on this episode. it wasn't funny. getting the dvds and watching from the start will get you hooked. and then disappointed probably by this season Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The absolute pinnacle of this show was season 4 and the episode where Dwight is being timed by Jim on how much time he wastes during the day.... and then Jim starts talking to Andy about how stupid Battlestar Galactica is, in the background.

Naked_Cowboy 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This thread is very strange to me, I thought last night was one of the best episodes of the show ever. Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I thoroughly enjoyed last night's episode, although I wouldn't rank it up there with the best. The interns making fun of Michael, and Michael trying to recant his disclosure of Stanley's affair were golden. As for last season I have been re-watching it over the past week on DVD, and find it very enjoyable. Dwight's Christmas wrapped desk is still the best prank by Jim that I have seen.

CaneBrain 95 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This thread is very strange to me, I thought last night was one of the best episodes of the show ever.it's boring to keep talking about how good a show is so we have to default to trying to tear it down by comparing it to season's past. it's the American way.I think the Office has always been good and is still good. My favorite season was season 3 but I liked season 5 and last night's episode was hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,219 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 re-watched the first ep again. It was ok. Not awful. The Andy/gay stuff was over the top and isn't close to real, but it still made me chuckle. That's the thing I've always had with the show. Most stuff is real solid, but when they cross the line of reality of what a real person would say or do, that's when it gets iffy for me. Like when Michael stole the mic and gave the toast at Phyllis' wedding and was saying all kinds of stuff and doing things...nobody in their right mind would do that. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 shouldn't you be doing something to prepare?Your people were walking all over town todayWhat do you mean "your people"? Am I Moses now?I went to a nice dinner Saturday night. That was the extent of my participation in Rosh Hashanah. I will probably go to services on Yom Kippur just so I dont break my mother's heart.The opening from last episode was so hilarious. I could watch Andy jump into that cardboard box 100 times and still laugh. Link to post Share on other sites

dolfan 0 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Finally had a chance to watch the season premier. I liked it enough, it wasn't exceedingly good or bad to me. I agree that the Andy being gay bit was funny but a little overdone, but there was a real quick moment at the end of his first talking head about it where Andy gives this awkward half laugh that killed me. I think he did it at some point last season, too. Also, the Kelly eating disorder joke was my favorite. I didn't laugh harder the entire episode than when Erin said how glad she was Kelly was eating again and Kelly enthusiastically responded, with a mouth full of cake, "Me too!"
