    Of course but it detracted from the main story. Like now you had your veggies and let’s have dessert.

    You can’t really get the whole original cast back together, because they can’t really be working at a paper company in 2023; they joked about how antiquated of a company it was a decade ago. So how would they all end up at the same company these days? Seemed like they milked every possible story line in the original series, and tied up every loose end possible in the series finale…

    Loved the show. Writing was like nothing I’d ever come across as a kid. Also did interesting stuff like the black and white episode and the Shakespeare episode.

    First two seasons are just excellent. Script/production issues and the fact Willis and Shepherd hating each other didn’t help.

    It limped to the finish but still had its moments the last couple of years.

    I’m sure some of it will be dated. It was very 80s. But looking forward to watching for the first time in a long, long while.

    If they want to “reboot” the office as a workplace comedy shot in a mockumentary style updated for 2023, I’m all in. If its the same “universe” and there are occasional inside jokes or references to catch, neat.

    If its the same characters at the same desks, not good.

    If its reboot in the way you could say Step by Step was a Brady Bunch reboot it’ll work. If its The Connors itll be terrible

    The Conners has already gotten 5 seasons and probably will get a 6th. Sorry if you're offended they decided to move on without Roseanne's crazy ass.

    Martin McDonagh has a series? Guh...

    Guardedly optimistic. You'd think moving ahead with James Spader would have made The Office idiot-proof. Nope. Also, we need new stuff, not reboots. Who is this for?

    I could see the series moving on without Roseanne -- it has obviously found a way to do that, as shown by the fact that Dan has married a second wife. But count me as someone who's really surprised "The Conners" has lasted so long. In my opinion, "The Conners" is just not as good a show as "Roseanne" was, even though it has garnered some TV awards recognition in its own right.

    Sadly no on McDonagh! Banshee the old Cinemax series, about the greatest thief in the world who ends up a county sheriff after stealing the dead sheriff's identity. Great show, but no McDonagh bleakness and dialogue.

    Just discovered "Peyton's Places" on ESPN+. To see Staubach throw again is cool (well not so much as a 49er fan) and Peyton's got a nice sense of humor.

    Home Economics was canceled. No one’s idea of a groundbreaking show, but a low stakes enjoyable watch with a likable cast.
