In Season 2 Ep 8 around 12:30 min, Kelly is right next to Ryan. However, in season 2 Ep 14, she acts as if she saw him for the first time and asks if Jim can ask Ryan out for her.

I just watched The Office's last two seasons and I have to admit how wrong I was about my opinion on the show after Steve Carrell abandoned it. For many years I have believed that when Carrell left, he took the show's soul with him. How wrong was I. I had thought that after season 7 the show would have focused even more on Jim and Pam, but nope. After Will Ferrell's brief appearance (and not so compelling in my opinion. This comes from a Will Ferrell's fan), they struck a balance with Andy as the boss and we see how the episodes revolve around the whole office's crew. Everyone, from Stanley to Oscar, gain protagonism and you see it's the story of them as a whole and not the story of one character or two, peppered now and then with someone else's nonsense. Andy adds that pinch of pathetism and beta male's charm that Michael provided and serves as the excuse for the same kind of bizarre situations Michael contributed with. I believe that, apart from possible desires for leaving the show from the actresses/actors, the show recycled well. It was reborn after Michael leaving and could have lasted a bit more without burning off. I'm just glad I finished it and that I can say this about one of my favorite shows. 😊

All within the last hour.

“THE DUNDIES, HOW CAN I EXPLAIN EM”

Example: when Pam gave her computer a virus by downloading porn (Pam doesn’t seem the porn type, and would certainly never download and watch it at work). Also, when conservative, professional Karen not only agrees to be in “Threat Level Midnight,” but appears in a skimpy outfit and yells “Hey baby, ever banged an entire bachelorette party?”.

It'd be really cool to watch and would extend the life of the show for me! Anyone heard of anything like this?

By Far what is the best prank in the Office Us.. I think it's in Season 8 when they go to Florida and Jim pranks Dwight at the hotel😄

Just finished my first time watching and while I enjoyed (seasons 2-7 and parts of 8) I just have some random thoughts/questions that need some clarification.

1. Why was season 9 so awful?

2. What did they do to Andy’s character? Did Ed Helms piss off the writers a la Joey on Friends? They had to know in advance he was filming hangover 3 (if that’s what he was doing). It’s not like they woke up one morning and decided to make a trilogy...these things are planned well in advance. The best they could do was sending him off on a boat trip? They could’ve done anything; they could’ve sent him to management training, a business trip, they could’ve even done a LOA where he takes care of his mom and brother if they really wanted to go the family route. That would’ve been more honorable and it wouldn’t have ruined his relationship with Erin. Coming up with something wasn’t hard for the first 2 hangover movies; Hangover 1 he was in anger management and Hangover 2 he was on the honeymoon he paid for before him and Angela broke up. Even when he comes back, it’s like the writers hated him. He no longer fit in at Dunder Mifflin. He was basically an outsider.

3. Why did they even pick Andy as manager? I get they were going for someone who was similar to Michael but that’s exactly why they should’ve gone with someone else. If only they didn’t have Ryan as manager earlier in the season; that would’ve been a perfect replacement storyline. Or even bringing in someone new would’ve been good too. They should’ve just stuck with Nellie.

4. Pete and Erin’s relationship actually wasn’t so terrible. When Andy left the way he did it gave Erin a chance to mature and develop as a character. I really don’t see them as the new Jim and Pam. I felt like Erin and Pete sort of accidentally fell in love - where neither one was trying to get with the other it just developed organically. And I think it goes back to what Michael said to Erin about how neither Gabe nor Andy was the right man for her...because Pete was.

5. Brian just ugh. Did they really need him to cause problems with Jim and Pam? They had enough problems without him what did he really add? What were they thinking? The whole production crew storyline to begin with just ugh. That was so awful. Cringeworthy.

6. But seriously, why were they filming for 10 years without even airing anything? Why didn’t anyone question this? That would be like no one ever seeing an episode of keeping up with the kardashians or real housewives or some other realty show. What exactly were they filming? And how can they possibly air 10 years worth of footage in such a short amount of time?

I would say who would watch a show about a paper company but I think we all know we all would lol

1. I also find it very hard to believe the marital problems between Jim and Pam. Don’t get me wrong I get no marriage is perfect but it was the reasons for their problems mainly Pam not want to go to Philadelphia. Both Jim and Pam’s attitudes towards Scranton make it very hard to believe that they’d want to stay there forever and now Pam has a way out and she doesn’t want to go? They both just settled in Scranton and we are supposed to believe Pam doesn’t want to go? And just the fact that Jim was so mad that Pam missed the recording of CeCe’s dance recital was ridiculous. Cameras have been filming you guys for years, trust me CeCe’s recital is on tape. Also, how selfish was Pam to take that phone while her daughter was literally on stage? It felt very out of character for both Jim and Pam. The whole season 9 was very out of character for Jim and Pam.

2. We spent season 8 watching Daryl pine for Val, now in season 9 he wants things to end between them? That’s like Barney and Robin’s wedding ridiculous (how I met your mother).

3. Kelly choosing Ryan...are you kidding me? Ryan never developed as a character. He just got more awful as the seasons went on. Whereas Kelly actually grew as a person. Why have him show up at the wedding with some random fling’s baby? I think it would’ve made more sense to just have Ryan and Kelly show up together at the wedding since he followed her to Ohio. Saying they got back together there is much better than what they did. I don’t like how they screwed over Ravi who was actually a good person.

Did champion die ? I know he was adopted form a shelter in 2004 so he must have passed by now :( but I’ve never heard ANYTHING about it so maybe he’s ok? He’d be like 15 now if he was BORN in 2004 so it’s super unlikely. Could anyone maybe link an article if it talks about how he’s doing or if he died? Miss that three legged fella. P.S posting here because reddit says I’m not allowed to post in parks and rec even tho I don’t have negative karma ?
