AlisLandale 01/03/21 8:42:10 PM #40:	pegusus123456 posted... You think The Office is bad, try watching Frasier. Niles leaves his wife of four days and Daphne abandons her fiancee at the altar to get together. And this is after Niles spends literal years openly lusting after her while he's married to someone else. The writers really dropped the ball on both of those arcs, but I feel there's an argument against Mel, since she was clearly a manipulative psychopath and basically Maris 2.0. The only redeeming moment, that the writers shouldn't have given her if they wanted her to be the villain, was that talk with Daphne. They should have just made her a straight weirdo who was looking for a controllable trophy husband. I tend to forgive Niles' lusting over Daphne because when it mattered most he put in the effort to make his marriage with Maris work. And at worst, they broke even since she cheated on him with her therapist. >_> But the real victim, and the black spot on the series, was how they treated Donnie. Man was an absolute saint the whole way through, and it's especially egregious considering being left at the altar is one of the defining character moments for Frasier back in his Cheers days. Then you think the man finally recoups some of his dignity and finds happiness, only for that bizarre second-wife thing when we see him next. I honestly don't know what the hell the writers were thinking when they set all that up. --- https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj <cite>AlisLandale posted [p:949071556] in The Office...

Yep, the writers were told not to write jokes (at least early on).

Balrog0 01/03/21 8:47:27 PM #43:	But idk what you mean that his faces were unrelated to the scene, Michael Scott as boss is the show. He's not in any scenes unrelated to himself and his "awkward faces" are a parody of incompetent middle managers. After the first season they do tone down how off-putting he is and give him more substance so they can play him off as sympathetic. None of this is saying you have to like it but yeah. --- Trying to dunk since July 2020 <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:949071743] in The Office...
