I feel like it could work if it doesn't desperately try to be The Office... and that's tough when fans are expecting it to BE The Office.
But, outside of maybe watching a few episodes the next time I have to pay for a month of Peacock to watch a Chiefs playoff game.... it won't be a priority to pay for another streaming service and then watch commercials. [Reply]

Even a show as tame as The Office couldn't be made today, thanks to the "sensitivity" of modern audiences. This new show will almost certainly be dogshit, with gutless writing and bland humor. It will, however, showcase an extremely diverse workplace. :-)
Call me if Ron Swanson and April get a spin-off.
It's about the only one I'd be in for... [Reply]

Trolls call it "cooking" and he dishes up Hot Pocket takes 24/7.
And not even with the crisper sleeve thing cooked to the right temp, just high for 90 seconds to make the outside molten lava while the inside stays zero Kelvin. And not even something that sounds like it could be appetizing like philly cheese steak, but the shittiest option like highly processed scraps of ham with a pound of provel. [Reply]

Office dynamics have changed a lot since the original.
That's what I do when I go into the office now too. So stupid...what's the point of even going in? [Reply]
