The Office Season 7

[Team Canada]

The China episode was ok, but the Christmas episode was just weird and dark in tone. In general the last couple have been very different feeling.

[Hofbraunhaus]

Looks like Will Ferrell is going to be on the Office. Should be pretty funny as long as he doesn't try too hard to be the star of the show.

[jerichoholicninja]

Apparently Will is going to be playing another branch manager with similar quirks as Micheal. I can see this being very terrible. I would prefer to see Will play the straight man. Although if Will can play it toned down it could be good.

[Invader3K]

Ferrell on the Office has hilarious possibilities as long as they don't go too over the top, like you guys mentioned.

[GAME05]

for a few seasons they've gone back and forth between a funny episode and one where the characters develop, but the last episode was neither.

[BrewCrewForever]

Ricky Gervais making that cameo as David Brent tonight was one of my all-time favorite scenes in the shows history. Just awesome.

[pitchleague]

I was pleasantly surprised with Gervais' cameo, as well. I'm not one for spoilers so I had no idea that this was coming.

[Invader3K]

I'm starting to wonder if Andy ends up being the next boss. Seemed like the whole theme of last night's episode was him developing some self-confidence and leadership ability.

[patrickgpe]

i thought the last 2 episodes may have been the funniest of the season.

[patrickgpe]

really enjoyed the last two episodes before last night. Really no funny moments, didn't really find any of the captions funny. I know they are setting up Micheal's farewell though. Also the jedi-mind tricks between Mickeal and Holly were a reach.

[pitchleague]

they just used the Jedi Mind tricks (good term, by the way) to help establish that Holly was slowly realizing herself that Michael is her soul mate, just like he said.

 

To be honest, I didn't really laugh at any of the shows from last night--Community, Office, Parks and Rec. They just weren't all that funny, to me. Kind of bummed me out.

[Invader3K]

Yeah, a little bit of a "slow" night. I think I've mentioned this in the past, but last night's Office was one of those necessary "character advancement" ones where the jokes tend to be harder to come by. Other than the part in the Chinese restaurant, I didn't really laugh too much.

Community won the night for me by far. That episode was right up there with Paintball.

[Point Beer Is Best]

You guys are crazy. "Outsourced" killed it as usual.

[logan82]

I liked Archer last night.

[patrickgpe]

archer is always awesome.

[logan82]

Just try to think about something else like there's no sink in there.

[Team Canada]

Perhaps now we have the angle on Michael leaving? Holly said she can't just keep dating guys she works with, so maybe he quits for that reason. Would be a believable move...

[GAME05]

Holly was only in town temporarily. so this whole time i've been assuming she'll eventually have to go back to Nashua when Toby returns, and then Michael will have a "won't made that mistake again" moment and stay up there with her.

[patrickgpe]

GAME05, that was my prediction for the last 2 weeks as well.

[Gobias Industries]

archer is always awesome.

Yup. There hasn't been a bad episode yet. It's easily the funniest animated show I've ever followed.

 

The Office: Michael and Holly plot was okay. One thing...isn't The Office supposed to be funny? I don't think I laughed once last night.

[Gobias Industries]

Love how Community featured Fat Neil. They have a lot of great side characters.

 

Good episode, but it's probably not even in my top 5 for the season. Off of the top of my head, I can say Conspiracy Theories, KFC rocket launcher episode, Secret Garden parody with the racist gardener, and Halloween zombie episode were all better. Show is just sooo good.

[GAME05]

The Office: Michael and Holly plot was okay. One thing...isn't The Office supposed to be funny? I don't I laughed once last night.

at least for me, in the history of the show, The Office hasn't had the ability to both be funny and to move the storyline forward. it's one or the other. it's why last season was so bad, because they couldn't figure out which to choose. with the show essentially coming to an end, i can certainly understand that more fans would be interested in seeing a finality to the characters than just being funny. and with the limited number of shows remaining, i'm guessing there won't be a ton of funny episodes remaining.

[Godspeed]

You know, I've thought pretty much the entire 7th season has been terrible, but PDA was a classic. Even Erin won me over in this one.

 

I still think there's life in this show after Steve Carrell, but have no faith in the ability of the writing staff and the network to let them move on unimpeded.

 

This show has long suffered from its glut of characters leading to a lack of focus, but this episode was the first one for me in a long time that was able to reign them in to even a quasi-relateable storyline. Not sure how much that can be attributed to Greg Daniels being back to direct, but wouldn't discount it in the least.

[BrewCrewForever]

One thing I will say about this season, I have loved everything Kevin has done. He has been classic.
