The Office
29 September 2009
I have been addicted to The Office for a few years now. And not just, “Oh, yay, it’s Thursday. The Office is on tonight!” kind of addicted, but watching episodes over and over, watching deleted scenes on the web site, reading bios on the actors and writers, and so on.
I don’t know what happened last season, but it just wasn’t… I don’t even know how to explain. It wasn’t doing it for me. I can’t pinpoint exactly what it was (too relationship-y? too many continuing storylines? the division thingy?) but I went from LOVING LOVING LOVING The Office to simply enjoying it.
So maybe it’s my low expectations, but these first two episodes have been really good. Like the-good-ol’-days kind of good. I don’t know what they changed this season, but good for them. It’s really rare that I feel like a show dips in quality and then comes back just as strong. Usually when it starts to suck, it’s a steady decline until it hits rock bottom and they have to add some lesbian storyline to boost ratings.
I’m back to anticipating Thursday nights. Just two more days…

NEVER? Oh, Debbie, we need to fix that. Although rereading Twilight is another fabulous option :)

I am probably one of the few people on the planet who has never seen an episode of The Office. So wondering if after our move, I should get the DVD sets and see what all the hype is about? Then again, think I’d rather just reread the Twilight series!
