Got this in the mail today.
Good stuff that sets up the season, as well as a few of your questions answered. :)
The Office final Season 9 premieres in two weeks on September 20.
‘New Guys’ is written and directed by The Office executive producer, Greg Daniels. Can’t wait for you guys to see it!
Care to share anything?
aahh that’s so cool!!!
How did the episode compare to previous Greg Daniels episodes?
no way Tanster! Do you get stuff like this all the time!?
Can I get one of those?!?
I am so jealous of you!!
Can’t wait to see it! Did you like it?? Was it what you expected or were you surprised by anything?
I don’t want to know any answers to questions, or plot points beyond those in the summary, or any other spoilers…
BUT I am curious as to if you think it is on the level of past Greg Daniels episodes, or at least on the level of Season 5 (the last year with Daniels as showrunner, and the last great year IMO).
[from tanster: thanks!]
@remember to call: Yes, I too am expecting, with Daniels back in charge for the whole season (and the fact alone that he’s single-handedly writing this episode) that we’ll automatically see a return to the classic roots of the first five seasons. I know I’m not the first to say this, but after 5, the show increasingly strayed away from what made it great in the first place: its realism, simplicity, and inner-office situations.
[tanster: forgot to ask; since you watched the premiere, can you tell us if you think it’ll please those of us who were kinda disappointed in the last few seasons? are we gonna see more of the classic Office episodes from the first five seasons, such as the realism, simplicity, normal non-over-the-top characters, etc. oh, and do they seem to have a better grasp of Nellie’s character? thanks!]
[from tanster: thanks!]
Greg Daniels is a genius, so I am very hopeful for the last season.
When the office ends this year will this website be converted to a fan site for the farm?
tanster you are a lucky girl!
