Considering how Seasons 8 and 9 turned out, Season 7 could have been a fitting ending for the show. It is known mostly as being Michael’s goodbye season, and because of that, some people stopped watching the show after this season. I don’t mean to keep dissing later seasons of the show by putting them lower on the list, but this, in my opinion, is the season where things started really heading downhill.
The best moments of the season came when you realized just how much these characters have grown over the course of nine years, and you almost feel like you were a part of it all.
#THE OFFICE SEASON 8 SERIES#
I wasn’t completely satisfied with how the series ended, but after the mess that was Season 8, the showrunners did a pretty decent job trying to get it back on track for an appropriate ending. The whole Andy going crazy and becoming a viral video star plot line was annoying, but there were episodes like “Work Bus” and “Promos” that reminded me why these characters were so great to begin with. Yeah, things get all weird and meta with the introduction of the documentary crew (Can you believe it? It turns out the characters in The Office knew they were being filmed the entire time!!!) but what makes this season not all that bad was that it seemed to (or at least tried to) capture the spirit of earlier seasons once again. You know what, season 9 isn’t all that bad. I try to forget this season exists from time to time.īest Episode: Really reaching here (there’s not a lot to pick from), but “Gettysburg.” Sure, the main character may have been gone, but it felt like it was a completely different show than the first seven seasons. There was hope that James Spader could help invigorate things…but he didn’t. I mean, remember “Pool Party”? Remember how weird things got? There was hope that the trip to Florida some of the workers took could help invigorate things…but it didn’t. The first season after Steve Carrell’s exit was very rocky, and as sad as it was, you could just tell the writers were trying so hard. Many say The Office should have just ended after Michael Scott left, and they point to this season as justification. It’s now time to rank all nine seasons of the show from worst to best. With just over a year since the series finale of The Office aired, time has allowed the entire series (201 episodes in all…can you believe it?) to sink in. Still, not everything was extraordinary about the ordinary, and some seasons and story lines were much better than others. Its mockumentary style gave the audience the sense that they were following these ordinary people’s ordinary lives, yet the setting of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company’s Scranton branch created an atmosphere that everything these characters did really did matter in the grand scheme of things.
series of the same name, The Office ran on NBC for nine seasons from 2005 to 2013. version of The Office ended, but I have to agree with Pam’s above quote from the series finale. There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. “I think an ordinary paper company like Dunder-Mifflin was a great subject for a documentary.
