Next Season Is A Long Long Time When You've Lost Your Way.

Boy, The Office has really been bad. And I don't just mean this season, I mean for like 3 seasons. For a show, that used to be something I looked forward to every week, to become something I watch to kill time, well, that's a real feat. Obviously it got bad when Jim and Pam went from main characters to supporting cast. I just don't know what they were thinking with the whole marriage and a baby thing. The original version of the office was driven by two main forces. The sexual tension of Tim and Dawn, and the antics of David Brent, that got increasingly more ignorant. The American version could have played with those two things for countless seasons, a la Friends. Ross loves Rachel. Rachel finds out while Ross is in Japan. Rachel waits at the airport for Ross. Ross gets off plane with Julie. Rachel loves Ross. Ross and Rachel love each other. Ross and Rachel take a break. Ross and Rachel breakup. Ross and Rachel love each other at the beach house. Ross and Rachel break up. Ross gets engaged to Emily. Ross says "Rachel" instead of "Emily". Ross and Rachel get drunk married in Vegas. Rachel is pregnant. Ross is the dad. Ross and Rachel and baby live together, but not "together". Last episode, 10 years later, Ross and Rachel love each other.

If The Office folk were running the show, Ross and Rachel would get together in season 3 and Joey and Phoebe would be the main love interests. Although Joey and Phoebe are more likeable characters than Dwight, Andy, Erin and Angela. Besides that, the show has abandoned all sense of reason. It's no longer a show about the daily office grind just amplified for TV. Its a show of 10 characters, none of which could possibly maintain a real job for any amount of time. That's fine if the show started that way, but it didn't, and to reinvent itself into an over-the-top show of absurd happenings has just killed it. Also Pam is the worst now.

Meanwhile, Michael Scott will be leaving and I could care less because the show is terrible. I'll watch Community and Modern Family, thanks.
