And it turns out to be a winners/losers list, which causes you to start to dislike Robert California quite a bit. The entire office worries about the list that Robert California made of their names in two separate columns. While it provides us with a lot of new information, it just isn’t very entertaining and doesn’t feel like The Office. We also get the trends of planking and Stanley’s “shove it up your butt” quotes, which are the two most entertaining things in this episode. Season Eight’s first episode tells us that the search committee picked Robert California to be Regional Manager (only for him to turn around and talk Jo Bennett out of her job and replace her), California picking Andy as the new Regional Manager, Dwight agreeing to be Andy’s #2, and Pam and Angela are both pregnant. This one kicks off and instantly provides you with a lot of brand new information as if we’d been gone a while. Overall, you’re just glad to see the Tallahassee group come back to Scranton at the end because the Tallahassee episodes were just not “The Office.” Of course, Kevin shines in these cookie-oriented scenes, and watching Darryl and Toby compete for Kevin’s business is pretty funny. The best thing about this episode though, was the girl-scout cookie selling competition between Darryl and Toby, whose daughters are both girl scouts. Instead it is Todd Packer who steps into the VP role for a presentation once Dwight doesn’t show, and gets fired, which is great. Jim does the “good guy” thing and desperately tries to tell Dwight this so he won’t lose his job, and while a hard-headed Dwight won’t listen, you instinctively know that he will get through to him and Dwight will be back in Scranton just like old times. But we also find out pretty soon after that Robert California plans to nix the whole Sabre store operation and fire Dwight. Not very interesting, but considering their long, strange relationship throughout the show, it makes you wonder how long it will take before the two are back together.įrom the get-go, we find out that Dwight will be staying in Tallahassee to serve as Vice President instead of coming back to Scranton, which does a good job of creating intrigue. Lastly, Kellie is introduced to someone else and Ryan is desperate to get her back, but Kelly chooses the other guy. And when Andy finally stands up for himself at the end, he is fired, so it creates curiosity as to what will happen next. Not only are they unlikeable, but they get VERY CLOSE to tarnishing the show. At this point you just want the show to get rid of Robert and Nellie forever because it feels like they are ruining it. Andy comes back from Florida with Erin to discover his office and job taken, and when he confronts Nellie about it, all she can say is “no.” And even Robert California takes Nellie’s side, so it’s very frustrating to watch when Nellie and Robert are so unlikeable and Andy is so likeable from a character standpoint. I’ve already stated how I very much hate Nellie taking over Andy’s manager position and this episode continues that storyline. Luckily, we know that season 9 gets better.
#Episodes the office season 8 series
I wonder what it was like watching this episode on its original air date on television, because I can only imagine it had a lot of fans thinking the series should just hurry and end before it continues to get worse. Andy’s trip to Tallahassee to get Erin and try once again to start a relationship with her is very, very boring. I’ve never liked Nellie’s character at all and this is one reason why, in addition to her not being funny and just not contributing anything to the show. And just when you think Robert California will step in and stop the situation, he just lets it all happen. It’s confusing and infuriating at the same time. I hate, hate, HATE how Nellie takes over Andy’s manager position when Andy goes to Tallahassee to get Erin. I’ve already ranked the episodes from seasons 1-7, now let’s get to the first complete Michael Scott-less Season 8. Keep in mind that these are MY opinions, which means they are 100% correct. This time as I go through each season, I am putting together a ranked list of each episode in that season in order from my least favorite to my favorite. I finished watching The Office all the way through for the fourth time recently, so like any fan of the series, I decided to start it all over again.
