Re: The Office -- "Murder" -- 11/12/09

DM going under? I wonder why?

Scranton Branch:

Sales Force:
4 (Stanley, Andy, Dwight, and Pam)
Accounting:
A whopping 3 accountants for a tiny office
A customer service rep (Kelly)

and what does ryan and creed do?

So, now they need 2 managers of course to support this huge staff!

Phyllis is also in sales. Creed is quality control ().

If I were in Jim's place I would have done the exact same thing. Whatever Michael's reasons were to behave the way he was behaving, at the end of the day someone needs to act like an adult. And if everyone lost their jobs, oh well...that's business. It sucks but no one is going to die from it.

Jim was behaving like a manager.

Yeah, I don't really see attitude from Jim. Outside of the pranks on Dwight, Jim has always very much been just a normal guy in the wacky Office universe. As a manager, he's been doing pretty much what a manager should do.

I think they're gonna wrap up the DM going under plot really quickly.

This show has an astonishing track record of cutting great scenes (even scenes that were better than a lot of what made it into the final cut).

I was cracking up hysterically at that Creed bit. I couldn't handle it.

I love how he's got one "bit" a show, if that, and that's all we see. No back story, no nothing. It's great.

Other than a promo that aired, it's not from an episode.

There's a gold idea for the last episode!

Of course, it would change the original Office storyline somewhat. But how damn funny would be be for Brent and Scott to try going up against one another? More than likely to win the title "World's Greatest Boss".
So Gervais' character gets his job back with the paper company. Things happen like that in real life, so why would that be such a stretch? He manages to get his job back under one condition: he has to take over the failing US corporation that they just acquired. Perfect series finale.

Not that I want to see this show end this season, but I think it needs to take a cue from Seinfeld and go out while it's still doing good.

No doubt about a 7th season. NBC needs it.

I heard that the season finale this year will be the paper company goes bankrupt and a new boss from out of town will come in and buy the company out and save everybody's jobs. But there will be a new boss. After all, it's no secret that Steve Carrell wants out. The new boss will be Jay Leno.

But if you're looking for an unfunny boss, he's the king!

I came in here to say the exact opposite. I really like Jim as a manager. He's in a different role to keep it all fresh. He's keeping up with the same antics that bring the comedy out of Dwight, Michael, Andy etc.

But he's also being a real manager and it's good to see him get upset and stand up to Michael's foolishness. It's kind of the same way Jan was but with Jim, Michael can respond back and show us that he's not just an idiot but everything he does has a reason.

I know this was said in jest, but it's worth noting that Carell (and the rest of the cast) signed for three more seasons back in 2008.

My suspicion is Dunder-Mifflin will be bought out. And who knows, maybe the ensuing changes will bring Holly back into the picture.

I agree. Also, I like how the different techniques actually show off some of Michael's savvy, even if it isn't always on purpose.

The murder mystery game helped more than Jim thought at first.
