The solidly entertaining season premiere of The Office is of a piece with last season's better episodes.

A comfort show for many in my family including myself. Hilarious, feel good. Rewatch it all the time. Love this show

Devotees are probably poised to dismiss the adaptation out of hand, but I found enough funny business here to overcome my sales resistance.

it's a solid episode of The Office, which picks up with the Pam's pregnancy storyline the last season ended on, though I won't get into the details of how.

The supporting cast, especially Jenna Fischer as the pretty but timid receptionist ("I don't think it's many girls' dream to be a receptionist") and Rainn Wilson as an obsessive, humorless drone, helps keep the pencils sharp when boss Scott gets too unfunny in his attempts to create an easygoing office atmosphere. [24 Mar 2005, p.D01]

Instead of life-affirming laughter, we get an occasional ironic chuckle in NBC's version of The Office. It's a comedy that offers only escape instead of insight into our workaday lives. [24 Mar 2005, p.1E]

This season really suffered for multiple reasons. The main one being that the writers simply had no idea where to take the show after four successful seasons and ended up spinning wildly out of control with contrived plots, useless twists and characters that go nowhere. Chief among them, Ed Helms as Andy, who has never been that good to begin with but is now intolerable to watch. They have **** all the life out of Jim and Pam's relationship. Michael is an empty shell. Ryan keeps popping up for no reason at all, other than B.J. Novak appears to write himself back into the script from time to time. The show has long suffered from too many characters. Introducing Idris Elba didn't help either, nor did throwing in Erin as the new receptionist while Michael tries to start up a paper company of his own, inexplicably managing to lure Pam away from the office. There are still quite a few good laughs, but even Dwight seems unsure where all this is going. The confidence that had previously sustained him is gone, as he tries to figure out how to appeal to the temporary branch manager in Charles Minor. I don't even know why Idris Elba would take on a role like this. It doesn't suit him at all, and he only sticks around for a handful of episodes. Definitely a season to skip over.

This series puzzles me because in my opinion it is not funny in the least and is full of moments too embarrassing to even be tolerated. In general, in my opinion it is too overrated and personally I find it difficult to handle so much that after one episode I get tired and I can't watch another one in a row.

Original = The best show that has graced television. Biting humor, fantastic characters, beautiful story. THE REBOOT = Boring drivel that has nothing to do with the original series.
