The bus episode was really stretching the premise of the show. Plus, how did they get to the pie place in 5 minutes? Doesn't even make any sense.

the Office used to be my favorite. Started losing interest when Jim and Pam had the baby. Their appeal was just lost. Nothing there to tickle you anymore.

Other than Rainn Wilson, I don't see any of them having careers outside this show. So they probably wanted to drag it out as long as possible.

I was/is a huge fan of "the Office" but I really lost interest with the eighth season.

Now however I am giving it a second chance, I mean it is their last hurrah (last season).

It just seemed that they were really flailing figuring out where to go next when Steve Carell left, like they were just all over the map with the show, and thought they had no direction.

But then I thought, maybe in the real world with such a major change as Michael Scott leaving, maybe it would just make sense that things would chaotic for a while.

It seems like they are getting back to their roots in this last season.

The woman who played Jan already has a new show on TBS.

I never seen that show. To me it was one of those 'bandwagon' shows where people watched it at the time b/c it was 'cool' to watch a nerdy show like that. Not saying everyone but that was the vibe I got....Now that nobody's watching it, seems so.

When I think of Bandwagon shows I think of

Modern Family

Every actor on the show has had and continues to have a thriving career outside, "The Office" on TV, on stage and on the big screen!

I always though that Carell was all over the map, right from the beginning.

Am I alone in thinking him the least talented actor to become a star since this century began?
