I've been a big fan of The Office, ever since Ricky Gervais took the big bosses chair in the original Office series. I was weary at first about the NBC rebooting it into an American version, but to my suprise Steve Carrell pulled it off and made it better then the original.
Unfortunately there is one thing that American Office didn't learn from the British version. That is when to call it a day and finish the show. Ricky Gervais was smart about this. He ended The British version of the Office while it was considered a hit. He didn't want to watch the show fall into what the current American version has become.
After Jim and Pam's wedding, and the lose of Steve Carell, the show has completely gone down hill. NBC is trying it's best to make it work but it's time to put the show down. What was once a titan of primetime comedy is now almost painful to watch. A recent scene shows Cathrine Tate's character eating a taco in a bizzare way.
The Office introduced an interesting look into the workings of an office that had the stereotypical office workers with a twist. It has touched on many different issues in today's world and has made us have a laugh with them. From the gay latino character Oscar, to the race issues posed by Daryl, Stanley, and Kelly.
Unfortunately now it's become weak and unstable. This article goes into detail about how terrible it has become. The show's creators have tried their best to save it, but it's time to let it go.
The Office will definately go down in history as one of the greater comedies in the past decade. It's time NBC finally pulled the plug. They've already announced a Dwight spin-off which will surely go down like the ever popular Joey series based on the character Joey from Friends.
You'd think NBC would learn their lesson eventually, right?
