Re: The Office Season 4 Premiere 9/27
Do Gervais and Merchant have any input into the show anymore? Just from reading the synopsis it sounds like it has veered hugely away from their idea of what 'The Office is meant to be - a 'Mockumentary' rather than another broad sitcom.

Re: The Office Season 4 Premiere 9/27
I don't think Gervais and Merchant really had much input to start, so it's kind of a moot point. The US version is what it is, but I hope they ratchet up the awkward/offensive office moments in S4 and cut back a bit on the melodrama.

anybody who thinks season 3 wasn't 5x better than seasons 1 and 2 is out of their damn mind imo [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] You're crazy. S2 was way better in every way. [/ QUOTE ] Both of you raise very compelling and interesting points and counter-points. I'm still not sure which way I side, but this was a fantastic display of debate for sure.

Re: The Office Season 4 Premiere 9/27
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I just ripped through the S3 DVDs, watching a few episodes, all the deleted scenes, and some other bonus materials, so I'm excited for the S4 premiere. No spoilers here, although I'm included the first episode preview below in white text. Again, NO SPOILERS, but S4 speculation encouraged. Here are some ideas I have: We find out David Wallace offered Jim the job but he turned it down, due to Pam of course. No idea where else the Jim & Pam thing is going. We all want to see them together, but is the show as entertaining if they are? Not sure. I think the Michael and Jan thing has run it's course. I'd be okay with her being gone. And Michael should definitely be on hard times financially or with his living situation, after taking on Jan for some period of time and after "selling" his condo. Maybe he could live in the barn on the beet farm! Ryan as Michael's boss--quite a bit of potential for funny in that. Time for a Stanley episode. We had Kelly's celebration and Phyllis' wedding. In fact, we could use a Toby episode as well. Get him a love interest so we can see another side of him. I have more but I already sound like a crazed fanatic. [/ QUOTE ] Since you watched all three seasons in a short period of time, you'd probably be best to ask this question. Did you notice a big change in Michael's characher from seasons 1&2 to season 3? [/ QUOTE ] I wouldn't call it a big change. I'd call it zooming in. We got a little deeper into him, and he matured about 5%. Home ownership, serious relationship, branch almost closing are all events that cause a person to change and I don't think the character's change was outside what would be normal for someone going through all that.
