The original wasn't even funny

Maybe, maybe not- but the writing was fantastic.

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.

I bet if it's not a piece of shit it'll air on NBC. I think they originally announced the Night Court reboot as a Peacock show too.

Also that logline makes it sound like it's at least partially focused on the documentary crew themselves.

This might be one of the shittiest takes I've ever heard. You watched what 4 episodes?

the only way this wouldn't suck ass is if they bring back the original, Ricky Gervais as the office manager.

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...

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.

Why Not? 09:15 PM 05-12-2024
Think I would opt to just re-watch The Office over this idea.

So is the spinoff just going to be watching actors in zoom meetings and them wandering around their homes every episode?

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?

I have been trying to find a new job working remote and it hasn’t been going well. Zoom meetings, at least in engineering/construction world are dead unless you are willing to take a sizable pay cut. I have Reqruiter’s offering me 30%-50% pay cut over my current salary to work remote.

Ditto, half the time when I come in, I'm literally the only person on the entire floor, and today is one of those days. It's kind of neat, but what the heck is the point? At least if stay home I get to see my wife pop in throughout the day.

I know a lot of companies are going away from it, but many will never go back to the old ways.
