The Office Season Eight
SCORE: 40
The descent into madness for The Office has become a complete free fall. Thankfully The Office Season Eight is the next to last season of this repugnant television show. We were led to believe James Spader was taking over the role and position of Michael Scott. Instead he becomes the new CEO and Andy is made the new manager. James Spaders character (Robert California) is odd. Most of the time he is creepy and disgusting.
To make matters worse there are very few laugh out loud moments in The Office Season Eight. Jim’s pranks are funny, and Darryl has a few moments. Creed also has a few high spots like when he hits Meridith, screams, and runs out of the room. The biggest character development in The Office Season Eight is Toby. It’s odd most of the time, but at least they gave him a shot finally. Stanley falls apart this season. Many of the other characters have diminished roles.
Marriage is constantly under attack in The Office Season Eight. They have an opportunity to show those with sexually deviant tendencies can seek help and overcome it. But The Office Season Eight squanders that opportunity. One bright moment is when Jim avoids an affair with a temp worker. He is a little too worried about hurting her feelings though.
The five DVDs have over one hundred minutes of deleted scenes, extended cut episodes, blooper reel, webisodes, and promos. The level of offensive content is even higher on the extras though. Which is a true shame.
The Office
Season Eight seems to have a checklist of the most offensive things it
can show, say, and teach. And it pummels the viewer with all of these
offensive images, sounds, words, radical opinions and more. What hurts
The Office Season Eight even more is the poor writing. Too often the
flip flops in this show are trite. Plus many of them have been done
before. Like they have no new ideas.
