FTA-TV The Office (US) (2)

[Smoooothy]

Just watched it. First time I've cried posting on Bigfooty

 

[Catfish Alley]

I thought it was very good. Loved how everyone sort of got what they wanted all along in the end. I could understand if that was a bit too saccharine for some.

I especially loved the wrap up by Dwight about whether he got along with his "subordinates". In the end, the annoying weirdo got married, started a family, was respected and befriended by everybody.

 

[Macca19]

The only way they could ever leave it was with everyone 'winning'. Very sad its over. Didn't want that episode to end.

Time to go back and watch the first few seasons now. Watching the last few seasons makes me appreciate just how brilliant in retrospect the first few seasons were. Take out the pilot episode and theres pretty much not a poor episode in the first 3 seasons.

Loved how everyone sort of got what they wanted all along in the end.

Except for Toby. Which was kind of appropriate for the show too!

Asked to describe their final moments of working on the show, Wilson and Fischer revealed that there weren’t too many dry eyes in the office. “We had been shooting so hard for the month previous, and that day we had been shooting for 13 or 14 hours,” says Wilson. ”When they called, ‘And that’s a wrap on the television series The Office,’ I just burst into tears… I compare it to V-J Day in Times Square, where it was like that photograph of that sailor kissing that girl and hats being thrown in the air. It’s a celebration, but it’s also exhausting.”

Offers Fischer: “The final scene that we shot — which is not the final scene of the episode — was of everybody leaving the office. Whenever we [shoot] a scene, we do the scene and then they yell ‘Cut! Going again!’ And then we run the scene again. And to indicate that we’re finished, they yell ‘Cut cut! Moving on!’ Or if it’s the end of the day, they yell, ‘Cut cut! That’s a wrap!’ So this was our last day and it was our last scene and the thing we had to shoot was everybody leaving work. We all walked out and then we stood offstage in a little huddle, because there’s not a lot of room when you leave the set. You’re almost in something the size of a closet. So the whole cast was gathered behind the fake wall and we would walk off and then we would hear a pause and then ‘Cut! Going again!’ And we’d all walk back in the office and do our little bit, and then we’d leave again and then we’d wait and they’d say, ‘Cut! Going again!’ And this is a very easy scene, it’s just people walking out the door. So after the third time that we did it, there was a very long pause and we all kind of held our breath, and then they yelled ‘Cut cut! That’s a wrap! That’s a series wrap!’ And then we all just burst into tears. I’m going to burst into tears just telling you this story. We were all standing there in a group and we knew that we’d never hear ‘Going again!’ again. And then we all walked back in, and that’s when the crew members and Greg came and we all started hugging and crying. And that photo is us walking back in after they yelled, ‘That’s a wrap!’”

Afterward, the cast attended a wrap party, followed by a private gathering at Chateau Marmont, where there would be one last performance: ”Oscar, Angela, and I have a tradition of dancing to ‘Single Ladies,’ says Fischer. ”So Oscar led us in a dance to ‘Single Ladies,’” says Fischer. “He’s very good at it. He is the Beyoncé of the group and Angela and I are his backup dancers, and we just mimic whatever he’s doing…. We felt like we needed to have one more ”Single Ladies’ before it was all over.”

I wasn't overly happy with it. It finished well and everyone got their happy endings mostly, but for the main part it just didn't hit it off with me. The first half was pretty shit, but at least the second half kind of came through. Much preferred last week's double ep to this one.

Super sad it's finished forever though.

 

[Pugnosis]

I let out a guttural Yeah!!!!! when Michael walked in. Thought they did his cameo brilliantly and loved the fact they kept it quiet. One more "That's what she said" made me lose it. Loved this show!

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I'm not going to lie.

I've said the final ep was underwhelming, I've said Carrell was pointless but oh boy, did I get done in by Joan Cusack.

That was special.

 

[bradrowe#32]

It was very sentimental and a bit fluffy, but pretty good. The Erin and Michael bit were cool and Mose looking at the scarecrow amused me oddly.

Farewell The Office, my Fridays will never be the same.

 

[BACCS]

I liked it. Thought it felt a bit strange at first being set some time after the last episode...but I had quite a few laugh out loud moments (especially "I feel like all my kids grew up and then they married each other...it's every parents dream"). Maybe slightly too much sentimental stuff but I expected that. And yep, Creed steals the show. What a brilliant minor character he has been.

I absolutely lost it at that line, so much man love for the great man! I also fist pumped when I saw him return, that was totally outta the blue to me.

They wrapped things up really well, and there were definitely a couple of little tears watching it...

Exactly what I did...

Vale Office.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Not sure if no god no gif is appropriate or not...

Goodbye Office. You will be missed

 

[mitchzz]

Think the finale wrapped everything up perfectly, so sad it's over.

 

[mitchzz]

I am bored so I will list my top 10 favourite episodes of The Office. Much, much harder than I thought, so many good ones

1. The Negotiation - Daryll asks Michael for a raise, Michael wears a womans suit and tries out negotiating tactics from wikipedia.
2. Fun Run - Michael hitting Meredith with his car, classic ep
3. Goodbye Michael - probably the saddest bit of TV I've watched.
4. Casino Night - never forget the scene of Jim and Pam in the parking lot
5. Dinner Party - hilarious ep, Michael's tour of the house and when he shows everyone his plasma TV and bed
6. Niagara - great, great ep
7. Gay Witch Hunt - such a funny episode
8. The Finale - wrapped everything up perfectly
9. Andy's Play - an underrated episode for me, don't know why but I loved it, when Michael dropped the wine bottle and it rolled down the whole theater and his balloons popped
10. The Injury - hilarious episode, good to concussed Dwight

Honourable mentions: Basketball, Christmas Party, E-Mail Surveillance, Drug Testing, Conflict Resolution, Phyllis' Wedding, Business School, Product Recall, Beach Games, The Job, The Deposition, Goodbye Toby, Stress Relief, The Delivery Pt 1 and 2, China, Classy Christmas, Garage Sale, Work Bus, A.A.R.M

 

[Marlowe]

The finale reaffirmed my admiration for Michael Scott and absolute disdain for Andy Bernard. It also reminded me Pam used to sorta hot.

Normally in an ending like this, where, as and above poster said, everybody wins, I would feel cheated somewhat. But I feel this group of characters have earned it a bit... 'cept for Andy. He GAGF.

 

[dart]

up there for me would have to be any episode that gave us an insight into Michael and Jan's relationship. especially the awkward dinner party.

 

[vealesy]

Overall fav moment, " I ... Declare... BANKRUPTCY!"

 

[HugeJohnson]

Overall fav moment, " I ... Declare... BANKRUPTCY!"

This. One of the funniest things I have ever seen. Was crying for a good 5 minutes after this line. Also loved when Michael was trying out the "It smells like updog in here" and no one would reply properly. Then he finally gets Dwight and says "Gotcha!" instead of "nothing much". Season 2 Episode 13

 

[treefingers]

Funniest moment was Andy punching the wall. I still kind of liked his character even though I didn't like his storyline.

"big tuna'

 

[Macca19]

I'd go:

1. Office Olympics
2. Traveling Salesman
3. Stress Relief
4. The Return
5. The Client
6. A Benihana Christmas
7. Basketball
8. The Injury
9. Conflict Resolution
10. Gay Witch Hunt

I chose that 10 from a list of 24 episodes that could have easily fit in there.

Fav moment: Definitely Michael kissing Oscar. The most ridiculously funny awkward scene in Office history.

 

[OrdinaryJoel]

The Convention, Diversity Day, Basketball, The Dundies, The Fire, Drug Testing... These stick out in my mind the most.

 

[jaxxon]

I liked the way that wrapped it up, and didn't try to be too funny. It was never going to be a classic episode, but it was a nice way to finish. I also liked that they brought Michael back, but that they didn't make a big deal about of it all. I started watching S2 again after the finale, god, it was a great show back in the day. It was never the same after Michael Scott left.

 

[half_back_flank]

Funniest moment for mine was Jim baiting Michael.

 

[DrVanNostrand]

I love Stanley's TWSS in a deleted scene from the Sandwich Day(?) epsiode.

Email Surveillance was the episode that got me hooked and remains my favourite. Branch Wars is a very close second.

 

[dbcrow]

The Injury for mine. Loved it.
