Is The Office Any Good After Steve Carell Left?

[@thefeature7041]

Id argue that the trip to Tallahassee is important to the growth of Jim and Dwight's friendship which, in my opinion, is one of the few highlights of the last two seasons.

[@JayEllJayToo]

Ditto.

[@10ones]

one of my favorite arcs across the entire show

[@mattm.2591]

It's simple. It stopped being believable. Before he left, the vast majority of episodes provided a feeling like this could be a real place. But then the writing just veered so significantly into the unrealistic direction that it just wasn't believable anymore and wasn't the show that I fell in love with anymore. I mean, shooting Stanley with bull tranquilizer, just giving one example. That would have never happened the first several seasons.

[@2life4ever777]

yup, I agree. I felt that episode was so unnecessary.

[@ursulap.6722]

I agree -- completely 100% awful from beginning to end.

[@MetalSandman999]

Boom mic guy's first appearance was the worst in my opinion. Season 9 had been pretty terrible, but Jim and Pam's fight over the phone worked so well. It drew the episode to a close with heart. It wasn't over-the-top or melodramatic, but felt real and really hit you. It was one of if not the best endings to an episode in the whole series. ...and then Brian the boom mic guy comes in and ruins the entire moment. It went from real, authentic drama to schlock. Whoever was directing it should have called cut with Pam crying and ended the scene there. Whoever edited it should have cut out any interference by boom mic guy and relegated it to the deleted scenes where we'd all just cringe and then laugh about hoe bad they almost screwed it up lol It was the worst...

[@Richard_Nickerson]

Yup, this one

[@Bleeblooplu]

So true. I absolutely hated this episode

[@aidanmahoney9865]

I think the reason why the Office was so good in the time with Carell was that these were ordinary situations with mostly normal people, and then Michael, this chaotic force of nature at the core, driving everything up to 11 and Dwight at his beck and call. After Michael left, Dwight seemed to lose the things that made him special, and everyone else was turned up to 11, to the point where even Jim seemed to have dissociated from reality

And it's just a badly written episode/arc. If they wanted some "Jim might do this.." tension, then Kathy should have made some emotional connection to Jim, even if it were innocent co-worker/Jim being kind sort of stuff. Then she could have been the confidant to talk to when things are rough with Pam. Instead she's just kind of obnoxious and really obvious.

[@bullrunner5646]

I hated the “Mafia” episode. Dumb story and Andy bringing a crowbar into the restaurant is ridiculous.

[@satekeeper]

The showrunners and cast talked a big game about how the show wasn't Michael. But I think they were motivated by the careers and jobs of the cast and hundreds of production staff. A great motivation. But it led them to say or believe ridiculous nonsense that Michael wasn't the heart and soul of the show. This is why, afterward, the show feels so listless, thin, and dull. They try just crazy stuff, but it feels like desperation or aimless wandering, not the purposeful, thoughtful, sophisticated writing of earlier seasons.

[@shannonceleste5557]

Chair Model is great bc we get that final scene with Michael and Dwight jamming in the cemetery

The show started being slightly worse after "Niagara". The golden age was from "The Dundies" till that episode. I'd call the period between "Niagara" and "Goodbye Michael" a silver age.

[@kyleclarke4845]

I really like that Jim and Pam have a rough spot. It gives their lives more meaning and makes it seem less fairytale and more realistic. After all you can't be truly happy unless you've been truly unhappy. The fact they get through it and become stronger for it just shows how great this subplot is

[@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770]

In my view, while Seasons 8 and 9 were shaky at times, they are generally pretty good, and probably much better than most people give them credit for. The show definitely gets worse, but I would also definitely say it’s worth watching all the way through. It doesn’t decline anywhere near as badly as Community did in Season 4, where almost everything you can skip. I also think that the decline kind of already began in Season 5 when Greg Daniels was replaced by Paul Liberstein (Toby BTW) as showrunner. To me, Seasons 2-4 are the golden age of The Office, then 5-7 are a little below that as the Silver Age, then 8 and 9 are the Bronze Age, not as good, but still decent television. (Season 1 is actually by far my least favorite season, sort of like a crappy prototype Office).

[@andalistark5416]

Other than the fact that i haven’t watched Community, i am absolutely on YOUR page! I have to force myself to watch ANY of S1, with E1 being my least favorite of the entire series. & also, other than the focus on Andy (and or Erin, cuz i can’t stand them), post-Carrell is pretty damn good imo.

The episode I hate most is when Dwight and Andy thought the insurance salesman was Mafia. Every regular character was beyond stupid in that particular episode. The character who also had inconsistencies big time was Kevin . Why that character was written the way he was in certain episodes made me feel like he was neglected in the writing. I also agree with you on the points you made on Andy. One more thing. Erin. That infuriated me on how much the kept dumbing her down. No growth at all, which made it puzzling when she’d occasionally make an intelligent statement. Ok… rant over for now! Thanks for your video! Great work!

[@crbr391]

The worst episode is the one where Michael dines with the "Italian mafia boss"

[@MetalSandman999]

I don't think The Office was very good after Michael left. But it isn't just because Michael left. The Office had a lot of good characters and storylines they could have worked with. There could have been some great stories focusing on any number of characters. Something just fell apart in Season 8, and I just can't put my finger on it. And then Season 9 went completely off the rails until the last handful of episodes when it admittedly ended strongly. Maybe too much emphasis was put on Jim and Pam when their story had peaked (followed by a marital troubles arc no one wanted to see). Maybe there were too many attempts at incorporating the rest of the cast into the storyline without developing them first. Why did it feel like we knew *less* about Kevin, Phyllis, and Stanley than in earlier seasons when that's not even possible? It wa slike having NOCs try to carry the stories. Or maybe they just ran out of ideas, which is why things just got so bizarre.

[@satekeeper]

I think they resorted to Jim/Pam as those were the most popular characters after Michael. Except their story had really run its course. The most devastating disaster for the show was an inability even try to have a Michael-type boss as manager. This isn't their fault, as Ed Helms had to shoot the Hangover. How prophetic was the the post-Michael show with a revolving door o' bosses (Deangelo, Dwight, Creed.. Andy), leading to the show never having a consistent boss ever again. Helms/Andy could have been great. But a The Office without ANY manager or anyone in that role? Absolute disaster, that even TV's funniest writers couldn't fix.

The series 8 and 9 are not great, they had a lot of things to figure out, a whole lot of void to fill in for Steve, which is impossible. But that meant they tried Robert California, Deangelo Vickers, Nellie Bertram, Andy Bernard, Jim Halpert and Dwight Schrute. This was a mixed bag of people, some performed well and some didn't. All had their best moments, but not enough to be enough for Michael. What that meant though was the best moments of Dwight and Jim as a combo.

[@johnparker4484]

I adore season eight and nine. Yes, they have hiccups, yes, they are weird, and yes, the Michael Scott era is something golden. But seasons 8&9 get to be adventurous, they give the rest of the cast more growth and time to shine, and the finale of the whole series is just tremendous and so emotionally satisfying. I can’t imagine skipping the rest of the series after Michael leaves, there’s so much good stuff in the last two seasons. Also, Robert California is great, and I will die on that hill.

[@knightwalkr]

My take… If they had tried to do at least one episode developing each character. So that I’d say Steve carrell left it wouldn’t leave a black hole in plot. Because unfortunately that’s basically what happened. Steve carrell was a major plot point in almost every episode. So when he left it felt like the show changed. With SNL actors have various roles where sometimes they get the spotlight sometimes they are the minor character. The office didn’t have that. They shifted to Andy being manager and the show suddenly truly trying to become an ensemble cast. But that’s something they should have tried to start doing in season 1 or 2. Where Dwight ans Angela might get A plot one week. Or Oscar and someone being involved as A plot. And rotate that around.

I thoroughly enjoyed the office even after Steve carell left. While I prefer seasons one through seven, seasons 8 and 9 have their shining moments as well. And as someone else in the comments said, when Michael left, it kind of gave some of the other characters time to shine. To me, the last two seasons aren't as good as the first seven, but they're not terrible by any means. And the finale really wraps things up very nicely. Although it really irritates me that Toby never got a happy ending. I really felt like that poor bastard finally deserved a win. And I'm in the super tiny minority of people that actually likes the character of Robert california. He was just so eccentric and weird and out of place, it really shook the show up in a good way for me. But yeah, the last two seasons of The office are just an extension of an already great show. There are some good little nuggets in both of those seasons. And while I don't watch them as much as the earlier seasons, I watch them more often than season 1. I still think that they help to continue the story of these characters that we have followed for so many seasons. and even though Michael's not there, I still enjoy watching these characters on their journey. So yeah, give me all seven seasons. And even though the quality fluctuates here and there, and even though the beloved character of Michael Scott is not there in the final two seasons, looking back at it all, I'm thankful for this series and I wouldn't change anything about it. Except for giving Toby a happy ending!

[@MetalSandman999]

It doesn't follow that, if there is reason to think that Hunter and Jan had an affair, therefore there is reason to think Hunter is Astrid's father. Astrid had to have been conceived at some point in Season 4. That means Hunter and Jan were still having sex after she moved to Scranton. It's one thing for a young man to sleep with his impulsive, aggressive, and, reasonably hot female boss in a large, chaotic corporate environment. It's another to say that they were devoted to each other enough to still keep it up when they lived several hours apart and she had no power over him.

[@satekeeper]

They have a few arguments, Jim hides that he did the opposite of what they agreed, Jim wants to do something better than his office job and Pam is struggling as a mom and supportive wife who feels she never pursued her dreams. This isn't "out of nowhere", it's entirely believable. Season 9 also introduces the element that these unseen camera crew are their friends after 9 years (remember Jim's smiling at his buddies when he learns he's going to be a dad?) and that also presents complications. It's the idea to have them divorce which is ridiculous. Like Cathy's pursuit of Jim in Florida...that just ain't happening.

As someone who watched the office 7 times here's my hot take: Robert California is funny as hell, he's impredictable, leans on that psycho, manipulator and gaslightning persona that we see in his job interview, and makes a good contrast to Michael, even if he's not the regional manager. He is a force of nature: "I'm the fucking lizard king" is iconic. But at times he acts like a real human being (The pool party) and is funny to watch him bonding with the rest of the office. Proving that when you get to know these people they bring the best out of you, just as Michael always said. I think he helps to give every other character of the office little moments to shine so I think he's a good addition to the cast. Also, James Spader.

Least Favorite Office Episode: Angry Andy Runner-Up: Anything with Nelly post FL arc/Rob California centric episodes

[@android1617]

Pretty much sucked after Steve left.

[@henrypeters5291]

My least favorite episode is Scott's Tots. It is just too cringe for me and unlike a lot of episodes in the show, the episode did not really have any karma for Michael. That said, I think season 8 and 9 are different, but it was still a good show.

As a Black person who comes from a low-income background, I was especially dismayed by this episode. I didn't necessarily HATE it when I saw it, but when it's on, I do make a point to avoid it.

[@murray1978]

Scott's Tots is one of my favorites. It is so funny!

[@talibangb9566]

No one likes the episode where they hint to Pam kinda liking the boom mic guy.

[@stevenginsberg8471]

Least favorite - The Banker

[@hamiltonjohns572]

The season 6 episode “Mafia” can’t be anyone’s favorite episode

[@PipeGuy64Bit]

Somehow it's an episode my mom likes to put on

[@Sherkel]

It's the favorite episode of the former editor of this channel, Mechanic.

[@Mulverine]

Current editor too! Lol

[@tdp-kl2jf]

It's not the best but has some pretty good parts. Andy helping the lady with her car is classic

[@jackieestes5703]

Another positive about Mafia- many fans appear to like the “I send it back” scene. It’s quoted a lot.

[@mr.c8599]

I don’t like season 1………..and Bring your daughter to work day.

[@justglowlexi]

Fave episode: Tie between PDA (s7) and S. Harassment (s2) 😂 Least Fave: Lecture Circuit (s5)

[@fabriziolucidi7571]

Hot Girl is the worst!!

[@johnpeters5987]

Whoever is responsible for deciding that Andy and Aaron broke up should be in prison for the rest of their life so they can’t hurt anyone ever again.

Jim and Pam are like Peter Parker and Mary Jane, people freaked the fuck out at One More Day, and still rage to this day.

[@josabby474]

Wow. I’ve suspected for years- after watching B99 and The Good Place and Upload and Spaceforce- that everything that made Parks and Recreation a comfort show for me came from Michael Schur while everything that I simply liked or hated about P&R came from Greg Daniels. Knowing he wanted Jim and Pam to get divorced in the final season has me fully convinced.

[@xdanbo1859]

I do both ways. I have now re-watched the series all the way through 3 times, 4 times if you count as they were being broadcasted on NBC. And then 2 times, skipping most of the 50 some odd ep. without Michael Scott. Taking a break, but would now only watch again by watching them all. Office is top 5 all time sitcom for me. My power five are: 1. 30 Rock 2. News Radio 3. Seinfeld 4. Office 5. Parks and Rec Mulverine, I love your channel. Been a sub for a while. Don't know why I didn't comment till recently. Looking forward to you doing more content, keep up the good work!
