The Office Season 6

[BrewCrewForever]

Starts up this coming Thursday 9/17. Looking forward to another season filled with laughs, still my favorite show on TV. Not sure how I feel about a lot of this season probably focusing on Jim and Pam having a baby and getting married.

[jerichoholicninja]

I hope to high heaven that Pam is not pregnant. I feel that that will just ruin the show. I have a feeling that she isn't because they didn't just come out and say it in the finale. Hopefullt it's just a false alarm.

[patrickgpe]

well i think the season will start with a bang as andy struggles with hetrosexuality and michael gossips around the office.

[Glennron]

The more prevalent the Jim-Pam story arch gets, the less funny the show becomes. It's probably wishful thinking but I hope they don't focus on them too much this season. Either way it's probably my 2nd favorite show on network TV.

[Invader3K]

The Jim/Pam stuff doesn't bother me as much. I guess it's a nice counter point to Michael's constant angst and current non-relationship with Holly (who I hope will be back in some form next year, because she was pretty funny too).

 

I know many hope Pam isn't really pregnant, but I can't see what else she would have found out from the doctor in that last episode. Maybe it will be a way to not have Pam around as much as maybe Jenna Fischer is doing more movies or something? (I have no idea if that is accurate, just speculation on my part).

 

Oh yeah, and the actress who plays the new receptionist is hilarious..Google her name and College Humor for a good laugh (NSFW, though).

I actually hope that Jim and Pam are having a baby. I think it'd add a bit more to the show besides their romance. I'm not a huge fan of their romance, but I do think that's because Dwight's character has hurt due to his breakup with Angela. I think if Jim and Pam have a baby and Dwight is involved in some romance that would be fine...something also tells me that Dwight having a child at the same time with Angela right now would be hilarious.

Dwight and Jim need to be in conflict or playing off of each other for the show to work well in my opinion.

[Patrick425]

To me, Dwight is to The Office what Frank Burns was to MASH, with Jim and Pam being "Hawkeye and Trapper" and constantly antagonizing him. I'll agree with logan. That is where some of the best humor on the show is for me. Take it a step further and Michael is kind of the "Colonel Blake" of the office.

 

I never really cared for MASH once Frank left and Charles Winchester replaced him and Colonel Blake was much better than Colonel Potter.

We'll see how it pans out. I love the Office, but have started to get into 30 Rock. It seems like that show is on the increase as the Office is on the decline. But, those are the best two shows on regular television right now.

 

I think that new show with Chevy Chase has potential to be great, we'll see how it goes.

[FVBrewerFan]

I think the Jim/Pam story wil be comedy gold this year. Think about it. Baby shower and/or wedding shower, bachelor party, wedding reception... They can do a lot with this. I mean...Creed and Kevin at a bachelor party...need I say more? They could also go in a funny direction with Pam's personality completely changing now that she's pregnant and married. Sweet Pam suddenly ordering Jim around...

 

I just think the writing and casting is too good for this show to jump the shark quite yet. I'm giving Community a shot too. Yet another show (like Park & Rec) that try to copy The Office, but it's worth a try.

I have high hopes for the new season, and think they could do well with the baby thing, but my expectations are down a little from past years.

[burnzy24]

I missed the first few minutes or so but the new one definately had its moments, especially with Andy. Favortie line went to Creed with "Who's your OBGYN?"

[homer]

I thought it was terrific. Didn't like how the Stanley plotline ended - felt like they couldn't come up with anything better and gave up. But other than that there were some really memorable lines.

 

"I think you have to have sex with a woman......and a man and then compare."

[BrewCrewForever]

"Who said there is a person inside of me, working me with controls." Classic Kevin.

[thablingster]

I am most excited they now have a line of The Office bobbleheads. I totally want the Andy Bernard bobblehead to compliment my Dwight & Michael bobbles I have at work.

 

The episode tonight was alright. It had its moments.

[Team Canada]

What up Cynthia?

[pitchleague]

I laughed at the intro, then didn't laugh again until the last 5 minutes of the show when they were finding out about all the rumors, as others previously posted. It was an okay episode but not non-stop laughs.

 

Same with Parks and Recreation.

 

Community was dumb. I'll give it a few more episodes and it's gone.

[Gobias Industries]

Liked the episode. Still bugs me how over-the-top and unrealistic Michael is, but that's been going on regularly since season 3 now.

 

I think Community has a lot of potential. Pilots usually suck and I found some parts funny.

 

Sunny was very good imo. Vic Vinegar and Hugh Honey. Those three that write (and act) the show are comedic geniuses.

I have high hopes for the new season, and think they could do well with the baby thing, but my expectations are down a little from past years.

I'm assuming you didn't list "Curb Your Enthusiasm" because it's in another realm of comedies so far above anything else currently on TV that it's beyond ranking.

"Do you like tea more than mens' butts???" - Kevin

 

The "Andy questioning his sexuality" story line was funny, otherwise this episode seemed very contrived. Stanley having an affair is a big reach, even for this show. This episode was run-of-the-mill. Hoping for a bounce back next week.

 

I want to like Community, just not sure if it's going to stick with me. I'll give it another week or two.

[Invader3K]

I liked last night's episode more than most, I guess. Jim's suggestion of how Andy could figure out which was he goes had me in stitches.

 

"Community" was kind of a let down after all the hype. Chevy Chase seems to be playing a character that doesn't really fit him all that much, and all the other characters seemed really generic (other than the guy who kept cribbing from '80s movies, I guess). Maybe the next episodes will be better, because this show as it stands won't have me bothering to DVR it.

[BrewCrewForever]

I like how Andy had to ask Michael if he really wasn't gay. And Andy's conversation with Oscar about Brad Pitt was funny.

[Point Beer Is Best]

To me, the funniest line came when Michael was in Stanley's car and finds out that Stanley was going to see his mistress instead of a sales call. "Wait - do people often say that they are going on sales calls when really they aren't? That's not cool, man."

[Godspeed]

I found myself incredibly rapt by Jim & David's meeting in episode 2. Andy description of his cousin's email and his introduction of the cheese platter were both hilarious. Darryl's equal-size sister was awesome.

 

"I'll just have whatever's fanciest, unless there's ribs."

[Invader3K]

Seeing Dwight and Toby work together was kind of odd, but amusing. Especially Toby cursing at "Darryl".

 

While I think the idea of Jim and Michael being "co-managers" is pretty unrealistic, the comedic potential seems extremely high.
