Milkman delivers Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 11:41 AM) I dont know if he's been an annoyance, Michael Scott is pretty integral to the show and he's been hilarious throughout the years. I was watching a few episodes yesterday from the first few seasons and its almost hard to remember what it was like without Andy Bernard. They've really added some good characters to the cast over the last few years to take the focus off of Michael a bit moving forward. I think Darrell should be the first crack at manager to be honest. He's really come into his own as an actor on that series since the beginning. I never watch The Office when it's new, but I see it in syndication all of the time. Michael Scott gets less funny and more annoying in every single episode. I honestly see why Ricky Gervais stopped making his series after two seasons (and all of his shows) because sometimes it just gets stupid. Steve Carell as Michael Scott is the very definition of jumping the shark. Usually you say that about a specific episode or even a show, but that very character so perfectly embodies the idea that I honestly have grown to dislike Steve Carell when I originally liked the guy.

SnB Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 08:50 AM) Because the parts that make the show funny - Ron (my favorite), Tom and Andy - were not really the characters they've become. I think they started to become that in the last few episodes of the first season, if not the second. this. The first season was all about Leslie Knope and even she didn't hit her stride until the 2nd season. Ron and Tom make that show what it is - pure one line gold.

Gervais's character and Michael Scott are pretty different bosses. Michael actually had an endearing quality to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Michael Scott character is just more and more cartoonish with every passing episode. I've actually stopped watching some episodes because of him. At a certain point, it stops being funny and just becomes stupid and annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah South Park went a little to high brow for my taste. I think the basic message was that all Apple does is make it so that we end up consuming everyone elses s***. But that should have been a joke, not an episode.

For real though, the acting and directing was awesome and its been awhile since I got so hooked on a show and the characters. thanks to soxtalk for turning me on to this show, it was an awesome watch.

iamshack Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Holy crap....I dunno if this has been mentioned before...but the chick who plays Sarah Linden in The Killing, Mireille Enos, is like 1000 times hotter in real life than they make her look in the show...WOWSERS Edit: I see she's been in Big Love and a lot of other shows I have never seen, so maybe everyone else knows this...but jeesh...I saw a commercial with the cast of The Killing not in character and I didn't even know which character she was, she looked so much different.
