Is it just me or did breaks use to be filled with reruns so it never really felt like the shows went away?

I've never been with anyone who wasn't supportive or faked it like Pam has. Either way the fighting is too forced. Fact is when you look at the series in whole, Pam should and most likely will move for him. It's not easy just the right thing to do. That's if his business blows up by the end of the season.
I don't know what is worse, waiting for a good season to come back on break excited to see the remaining episodes, or waiting for an awful season to come back so that we can finally have some god dam closure. Not only is it a long break, but when it comes back apparently we get the failed pilot "The Farm"

Yeah let's just stretch out this death as long as possible, thanks NBC.

I remember previous seasons being plagued with random breaks through out. I much prefer seeing string of episodes week to week with a longer break in between. Nothing I hate more than break episode break break episode. Makes me lose interest and fall behind on episodes.
sad thing is it's been decline for 3 or 4 years now, even before michael scott left.
kind of sad really, remember when it was considered one of the bests back around season 3.

I totally agree, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. It's actually gotten better in the last couple episodes, which took it past the level of being funny-bad to just being bad. I hope the episodes get a lot worse soon. I want a cameramen to gain superpowers or some shit.

^even better
Ok cool cool.
I really have thought its been quite funny the past few episodes, but simultaniously being incredibly depressing haha.
Ive never been with a show all the way from its start to finish before (while not being canceled)
Well 30 Rock too, but i guess i didnt invest myself in the characters.

I know this show is pretty terrible but I've actually been looking forward to each episode this season. I'm interested in how the writers are going to handle the end of the series, but each week I'm nonplussed by what they put on screen.

Ah my bad. iTV Shows devs needs to get their shit together.
We've made it this far might as well struggle through the remaining episodes. The shitty Brian plot really livened this thread though with the collective hate. Reading through it has made the whole Brian thing sort of worth it.
You know, this sums up my feelings really well.

Nitpicking but why are they letting him throw dirt in their faces?
Except for the laughs I guess.
Wait. Is this "The Farm" episode pilot thingy? Oh boy.

this series just jumped the shark with a shotgun, if it hadn't already

Yep so good, it didn't go ahead. Which means it wasn't good compared to the current show...which ...yeah.

Well, once again it's an hour episode which means I have to wait until later to catch the second half because of conflicting recordings. Yay, NBC. I was enjoying it though. More the Office plot than the Farm one. Not that it's terrible. It's just odd. Guess it's better than having it be an unaired never to be seen ever pilot like there are so many of out there.

I didn't know the dwight show wasn't happening until this thread. I watched that episode thinking it was really becoming a show. I can see why it wasn't. That looked terrible.
And this episode of The Office overall was exactly what I've been hoping for. The show is back to being terrible and writing things out of convenience instead of trying to really develop characters. The dirt-throwing scene was particularly stupid.

Was it? Because the "last" part in the barn seemed to be a continuation and the rating in the corner made me think it was the start of a second half hour.

At least Andy's back to "normal" but no follow up on the end of the last episode. Who's dating who now? Anything change? At least the exes weren't still there.

I'm glad we are finally seeing a lot of payoff from the build up with Brian. It would have been easy for them to just drop it and pretend it never happened, thereby making the whole thing pointless.

There was payoff? Did I miss something?

I thought it was interesting they kept the stuff with Dwight's love interest in there. Obviously it was filmed for the series, but since they edited this episode knowing that it wasn't going to ever become its own thing, I'm surprised it stayed, since I'm assuming the plan is to get Dwight and Angela back together at the end of the series, and now theres going to be this weird, out of place thing about him being in love with this girl.
...unless, of course, love triangle 7 billion is being planned. Oh please god, no.

Wow, NBC didn't directly order that to series? Maybe they have some sense after all.
maybe that'll be his conclusion - he leaves the office to take over the farm with his siblings?

The Autumn Wind
I'm pretty sure Rainn Wilson is staying on for the rest of the season.
Meant that as in his conclusion after the finale
Link
The Autumn Wind
Ok, I could see that. I guess they can have Dwight mention all the preparation he's doing in the remaining episodes and then have him quit in the finale.

The Autumn Wind
More likely they cut a lot of the farm story and the Packer stuff was new and used to fill the remaining time.
