Dodger Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I just never could get into it, and I worked a soul crushing desk job for a faceless soulless corporation so I can definitely relate. It just largely didn't do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 If it's an all new cast I can see it maybe working... but the real magic of The Office was the cast and the characters... it would be hard to replicate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 There’s always so much praise and love for The Office, but I remember by the time the show ended, it had already more than over stayed it’s welcome. Storylines that seemed too far fetched and characters doing things out of character. Bringing back the show in this day and age….. ehhh I don’t know. Not big on the idea.

Should've ended with the season three finale. But I still binge the entire series every couple of years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 This is dumb not just because the show isn't that old, but because the mocumentary has already been done in many different forms. I really doubt they're going to latch onto a new unique angle. Just put the "original" one on more syndication. It will probably be more profitable.

But I don’t know if that would be something people would want or not, it’s hard to tell.” Ah yes, who wouldn't want the OCU? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 It’s one of my favorite shows, but it doesn’t need a remake. Too many remakes nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 To be fair, it doesn't sound like a remake at all. It even says in the article that some of the actors might reprise their roles in some capacity. It sounds more like a sequel. I mean... it's a mockumentary about office culture. It's not exactly like that concept gets old, and the show ended 10 years ago. You could easily make a new version of the show every 10 years with new characters and jokes.

CitizenVectron Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Yep, Jim and Pam (when not together) were fun, but became insufferable once together. Michael was the champ until he left, and that is when the show should have ended (with modifications to wrap up everyone else). Also...Andy Bernard was a horrible addition to the show. Erin was good, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneticBlueprint Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I thought Andy was a good addition to the show but the way his character changed over time did not feel natural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 I keep trying to get into the Office but I can’t. As far as mockumentary shows went, I loved Modern Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if they're going to do this, they should double down on recognizing the show's true villain... Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 It was shot in that style, and they talk to the camera sometimes like they are on a reality tv show, but to the best of my knowledge they are not supposed to be on a documentary. I don't know, I only watched the show in passing and always thought that aspect was weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 After Upload and Space Force, make sense Daniels wants to revisits his most successful show. I have zero expectations this turns out good. I can’t for the zoom mute jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
