What was the worst part about prison, Prison Mike?

>>86525176

It was always Reddit: The Show.

>>86525176
once Jim was a punching bag in every single episode, so... season 2/3ish? sometime around then

slowly making dwight the main protagonist. so stupid.

bj manlet really must hate krasinski

>>86525288
waaaaaay before that. are you kidding me? around the end of season 3

Whatever season it was when he hired a bouncy castle and was going to kill himself. It took a turn for the surreal. David Brent was ridiculous but he was believable. Michael Scott was at first but eventually turned into a cartoon.

>>86525288
agreed, could not stand the replacement.

>>86525176
It was hard to watch when michael was an autist asshole, but then around season 5 when they completely changed his character to make him sympathetic. That's when it jumped the shark.

Brainlets claim it is when michael left, but that actually improved the show.

>>86525420
Workplace Safety was pure kino you little pleb

>>86525413
the best part of the show was krasinski, the way he reacted to dwight's autism was gold.

>>86525420
ignorant slut

Only the final season is bad, but the last few episodes are still great. However, I would actually argue it takes a very noticeable turn with season 4. Not that it became bad because it didn't, but that is when it started to become less realistic and grounded and chafed against it's humble setting with absurdity and a more regular use of taking the characters outside the office on a lot of trips and their post-work hours personal lives. Seasons 2 and 3 are when it is at its absolute comfiest, though it is prime comfy all the way through. I've watched through it at least a dozen times because it helps me sleep. Same with all the Star Trek series.

any show with 9 seasons has at least 2 season that aren't good. rule of thumb or rule of kino since dubs.
>mfw cuckcha has chan in it

>>86525609
wasn't he in like 1 or 2 episodes

>>86525420
>t. pleb

Season 1 was the kickstart. Solid episodes that rank among the high end of the show. Season 2 is probably the best with the most memorable episodes and great chemistry between Pam and Jim. This carries over to season 3 to a slightly lesser degree. 4 also has some very strong episodes. 5 is when things start declining. 6 is forgettable, with few episodes that can stand up to much scrutiny these days. 7 is mostly devoid of fun, with the only standout moment being the emotional sections in "Goodbye Michael." 8 is unwatchable, with Robert California/Sabre murdering the show and bringing on too many unlikable characters. 9 is the worst of a bad lot (in terms of later seasons), which becomes worthwhile only during the finale.

TLDR:
1-3: Excellent (best in the show without much debate)
4: Very good
5: Good
6: Mediocre, forgettable
7: In decline, poor
8: Bad
9: Abominable

I don't care what anyone says, I fucking love season 8. Robert California is utterly incredible and it has a lot of really comfy episodes (the pool party, the Florida arc, the garden party, etc).

>not loving Robert California

The last few seasons have kino moments, but every character was eventually ruined. I still laugh when Will Ferrel dunks on the goal in the warehouse and comes back in the hospital gown.

>>86528143

It's not that I love Robert California, I just love James Spader and his brand of slightly creepy erotisism that he's had throughout his entire career.

>>86528654
What other actors are like Spader that exude that personality?

>>86529048

Spader

>Sex Lies and Video Tape
>Crash
>Secretary
>Probably half a dozen others that I don't know

I don't think there is one anon.

>>86529356
Therefore James Spader really is a national treasure and everything he touches is gold

>>86525176

I think it's around when Toby leaves for Costa Rica or when Jim and Pam get together.

>>86528250
I will NEVER not be mad at how they destroyed Andy in the final season and broke him and Erin up. Pure character assassination and total bullshit after how much they invested into making those characters work and redeeming Andy.

Whenever Stamford merged with Scranton, things fell off a bit because Andy is a little too much at first, but it's still good tv. When Michael left, what else was there to have a show about? No one wanted to see what happened to Jim and Pam after they were married, and all the other characters weren't strong enough to carry the show.

>>86525176
Two.

Season 5 was when everyone began to be Flanderized, so, then. Michael being ignorant and aloof is one thing. Michael being straight up retarded is not even funny.

When Pam and Jim got together. The driving plotline was resolved and all momentum was halted and they scrambled to come up with someone to replace it.
It's the problem of the "will they or won't they?" scenarios in shows. That's not to say there wasn't a funny joke or episode here and there, but it's just not the same

>>86525176
for some reason I noticed a lot of the later episodes focused on dancing. I literally said aloud to myself "what the hell am I watching?"

>>86532575

They honestly did. Every time I think of that episode it makes me wince. It's so perfect for Michael as a character but the circumstance end expectation is so real it's almost tragic.

>>86525541
This is accurate. I have some respect for season 6 though

>>86532575
No, because I understand it's a tv show and made up and not real.

Garbage episode. Epitomizes NBC's overbearing agenda pushing of the early Obama years just for the sake of sending a message that white people somehow owe random black people things like free college education.

>reddit

>>86531222
This pissed me off too. Not the Erin part because Erin was always shit but what they did with Andy. They paralleled him to Micheal to be that boss who see the merit in all his workers. Then they shit him up with that boat bullcrap and he magically becomes a stupendous asshole. Even pre anger management Andy wasn't that much of an ass.

The finale was kind of shit too and worse was they brought Micheal back only only gave him a line.

>>86525288

They were always kind of friends and slowly grew to truly like and respect each other over the years. By the end of the Florida arc in season 8, they were full blown friends. Not farfetched or weird by any means in my opinion.

>>86525176
Don't know which season but I distinctly remember it being 2009. I stopped giving at shit by 2011.

>>86531222
Andy was always a bad character. He just got worst as the seasons went on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MnKf2Kp3dk

Steve Carrel is such an incredible actor, his facial expressions at the end of this are fucking priceless. The writing got pretty weak as the show went on, but Michael Scott could carry pretty much any material.

I can tell you the last episode I saw was when Michael couldn't understand the GPS in his car and drove it straight into a lake.

Why did Toby get such a bad rap here? No friends, no family, he was cucked by Jim, his advances on that British woman were rejected, and then at the end, he was fired.

>>86536802
>Copyrighted shit

mega faggot.

>>86536876
Did they ever explain why Michael hated Toby so much?

>>86536802
Absolute travesty he never won an Emmy.

>>86536900
I don't think so. What's even worse is that he became hated by both Jim (during his temporary stint as 'manager' in Survivor Man) and Andy (when he became manager during season 8). I don't see anything to hate about Toby.

>>86525176
When they decided to make an American spin-off of a British comedy. Name a good American spin-off of a British comedy that wasn't reddit humor or based solely on cringe.

>>86537031
>>86536876
Toby was HR. He technically worked for corporate and basically was a party pooper for Micheal. He was the same way with Holly when she first showed up until she made a joke at Toby's expense.

>>86537108
The American version was superior in every way. Much like the countries themselves.

this show holds up on repeat viewings (til michael left), but it's painful to go through the jim/pam will-they-or-won't-they again and again. it makes roy just insufferable because you already know he's going to be an unlikeable dickhead the whole show and lose pam to jim. you just want to shove them offscreen to fuck already once you know the whole time they will get married and have babies

I will never understand the love for the finale. It was such contrived bullshit and didn't have any of the "realism" of the original dynamics found in the earlier seasons.

When they stopped showing Jen's feet so much. That's when it dropped off. Fucking duh!!

>>86526041
I agree. Robert California was fucking goat

when i do rewatches i tend to slow the pace or outright quit sometime between seasons 5 and 7

>>86525516
Completely correct.

Season 1 episode 1. This show is painfully unfunny trite

>>86525176
Season 4 was super weird, that's when Michael became a crazy person. He started jumping on trains to leave his life behind, driving into a lake to prove a point... The writing really felt off

Then season 5 picks up a bit, but starting with season 6 the show just became shit.

So first 3 seasons are good, season 4 was weird but still fine, season 5 was ok, and then shit.

Yeah why. Like, why the fuck. They should have written in that he had a brain tumor to explain the progressive retardation.

This show would've been perfect if they didn't ruin it with romance arcs that dragged on and on and on. I'm convinced that the only reason they included that shit is to appeal to braindead women.

I don't pay attention to seasons but Micheal leaving and Will fucking Farrell filling in for him was it for me. Micheal was the center of the office universe and just about all the best
episodes centered around him.

I did see a few episodes with Robert California and his whole "lol im super rich and interesting but i'm running this boring office lol this is so below me" bit got old pretty quick
