Actual vs. Deleted Cold Opens | Season 2 Superfan Episodes | A Peacock Extra | The Office US

[@laluenbaires]

The police line prank bit was good in so many levels like Dwight really believing something had happened, Jim basically confessing it was a prank, and then Dwight having to choose between breaking the law by crossing the line or answering the sheriff which was a big deal. Perfect prank!

[@feliperagonha]

The show was still trying to be realistic when this was deleted. On later seasons this would be accepted for sure.

[@laluenbaires]

@@feliperagonha Right. I wish they had re shot it later then 😆

other deleted scenes were little worse compared to released but police tape was indeed much better

[@susieq7660]

Nah

[@Reshiram543]

Well, it would also fit pretty well in line considering the episode previously involved Dwight "retiring" from the volunteer sheriff's department

[@thesmallestbeast1152]

As much as these deleted cold opens are absolutely hilarious, you can tell the show writers were being very deliberate in the older seasons with using every spare minute to contribute to plot and character development. I think they made the right choice, but I’m glad we get to see these ideas after all these years.

the women in the workplace scene reminds me of how much I LOVED jan in the earlier seasons before she started to sort of spiral mentally. she was such a girlboss

[@CB-qu4tb]

I like her way more with the highly intelligent but chaotic persona. She sucked as a district manager from what we see the first time all four of her site managers come meet David Wallace in Albany. There's a deleted scene showing she was trying to get with her most competent manager (until he found out she kissed Michael, lol, and lost all interest in her over it). She kept "Craiggers" in his position even when he didn't follow instructions to downsize by the required # of positions, then failed to ensure all 4 of her managers came to the big meeting w Wallace with a branch presentation. Then she hooked up with Michael, another of her small number of direct reports, and proceeded to absolutely abuse her power as his manager for their rest of their professional lives. She fucks the teenage corporate office intern, taking his virginity and possibly getting pregnant. She overtly crushed a Union. It goes on and on. The only things she ever really did as a district manager that I can respect was 1) give Pam that info on art school and encourage her to stop limiting herself while offering to have corporate sponsor her studies and 2) encourage Jim to work his way up in the company. Is there anything else you can think of?

The Office Community 30 Rock Parks and Rec Most people started watching these shows as they aired on NBC, maybe tivo'd them or even recorded them on VHS. By the final seasons of these shows the majority of people, or at least a significant minority, or in Community's case, everyone, were streaming them. This line up was the last gasp of Must See TV as a powerhouse on broadcast television, but it sure went out with some amazingly great shows!

I mean like yeah he probably could have just used his drivers license back then, but a passport is still a pretty normal ID to show at the airport, even for domestic flights. Since 2020, many drivers licenses haven't even been valid airport identification, so nowadays it's super common to bring your passport, but back then it would have been a bit normal to use his license.

Ik its always awkward when Michael implies that they were his kids. But tbf, he always treated Pam better than the others. Ik he always was awkward around her in the first 2 seasons (he still tried to treat her higher than the others) around her, but after the end of season 2 he really just treats her as a family member. He also cries and Jim and Pams wedding and straight after that episode tries to make a new jim and pam (which to me shows that he realised it would no longer be the 3 of them, and instead he would be much less important to them now, which i also think is why he tried to be REALLY involved with their daughter when Pam was giving birth, so that he could be involved again.) So yeah, I think its meant to be implied throughout the show that Michael loved Jim and Pam the most of everyone. But Dwight also held a special place in his heart as his "clumsy" (
