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.

Geez what a Killjoy!!
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!
There was madness in any direction, at any hour…You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning…. And that, I think, was the handle-that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting-on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave….So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark-that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

this show is starting to lose me. I'll keep watching, but it certainly isn't must see tv at this point.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Me too! Anyone know where I can get the DVD boxset for it?
We are all so complicated, and then we die. We are a subject one day, with our vanities, our loves, our worries, and then one day, abruptly, we become nothing but an object, an absolutely disgusting pile of shit. We pass very quickly from one stage to the next. It's very bizarre. It will happen to all of us, and fairly soon too. We become an object you can handle like a stone, but a stone that was someone.

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.

What 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.
