That would have been a great finale.

There were good episodes after, but you can really notice that the stories were getting too wacky and cartoonish after that. Characters became one- note, Pam became very mean suddenly, Kevin became a raging idiot. Only Michael and Angela really developed at all.

Not to mention, Andys character assassination, the idiotic character of Robert California, all of Season 8, and really unbeleivable episodes like the dumb Pie bus episode, and the boom- mike guy. The forced tension with Jim and Cathy, and the dumb Pam and Jim drama about work.

Michael Scott can't co-Moana, we already have Moana.

Considering the Jim & Pam wedding was a half a season later, you might as well just end it there.

Lol this line always makes me laugh. Andy was always an ass. It's interesting how the show flipflopped between making him the ass we hate or the idiot we root for, like a mixture of Dwight and Michael.

Anyway I love Robert California, James Spader > Steve Carrel any day of the week.

Funny thing about the bus episode, they were apparently close to death in that episode, narrowly avoiding a tragic accident that could have caused an explosion. They talk about it on the podcast.

Fell off hard after the writer's strike. Completely ruined the series momentum.

Robert California was hilarious. He perfectly fit in with the shows humor. I think people just hated him because he wasnt Michael

Hot take, season 8 is great cause Robert California is fantastic. The end run of the season really falls apart with Andy becoming extremely unlikeable again (and 9 cements it) but overall I thought it was just fine without Michael Scott.

Robert California was the second-worst boss. The worst was Will Ferrell.

I agree that this is where The Office started to decline. But I join others in actually liking Robert California. Spader was funny!

California was great because he was so much different than anything else they have ever done.

However, it was easily James Spader's worst role ever and wasn't that great.

Personally I wasn't a fan of Robert California, guess I'm in the minority itt. Nelly was completely awful though. It annoyed me when she was watching the documentary at the bar like she was a part of it, stay in your lane, you were barely there.

Last season was the best since 5

I will agree though, Cafe Disco was complete ass

Last edit: Andy was working on Hangover 2? 3?

I think that's why the writers said they had to work with what they had
