My wife and I watch seasons 1, 2, and 3 over and over, but I just can’t watch any of seasons 4 and 5. It is as if the soul of the show has disappeared. The characters in post season 3 episodes say things and do things that their characters would not have said and done in seasons 1, 2, and 3. That and the writing is nothing like it was in earlier seasons. It used to be smart with multiple story lines going at the same time. The cold openings were actually funny.
For me, The Office died after season 3.
Thanks for letting me rant.
1) Chair Model
2) Local Ad
3) Goodbye Toby (Parts didn’t work for me though)
4) Dinner Party
5) The Deposition
6) Did I Stutter
7) Night Out
8) Survivor Man (The birthday bits were my favorite of the season)
9) Fun Run (Second Half wasn’t nearly as good as the first one (which was awesome))
10) Branch Wars
11) Money (Beet farm and train stuff were stupid)
12) Launch Party (second half was terrible)
13) Dunder Mifflin Infinity (again second half was awful)
14) Job Fair (Cannot watch this episode)
The half hours weren’t bad, some of them were great. Part of me wonders what would it have been like if the writers had never had to make the four hour long episodes at the start. Probably would have been a far more successful season.
Just re-watched season 4, some of it was just awful. Season 5 though has begun to go back in form but man after season 3 things went downhill.
Tanster, how many people typically vote each week? It’d be interesting to know if these numbers are backed by a huge number of votes or if it’s just a small # of us voting to get these ratings based on how much we either liked or disliked it. For example, I tend to only rate an ep when I didn’t like it!
[from tanster: typically more than 1,000.]
The last updated list *tear tear*:
1) Goodbye, Toby (10/10)
2) Money (9.5/10)
3) Fun Run (9/10)
4) Dinner Party (8.8/10)
5) The Deposition (8.5/10)
6) Local Ad (8.3/10)
7) Chair Model (8.1/10)
8) Job Fair (8/10)
9) Did I Stutter? (7.9/10)
10) Branch Wars (7.8/10)
11) Dunder Mifflin Infinity (7.6/10)
12) Launch Party (7.5/10)
13) Night Out (7.3/10)
14) Survivor Man (7/10)
We should start season 4 Survivor!
Man, Dinner Party is not getting a fair shake. I thought it was a brilliant episode, one of the best of the series. My only guess is that since it was the first episode back from the strike, people were ready for more wacky Office-antics, but instead they got this really different, dark episode.
I’d say my favorite 3 episodes are:
1. Goodbye, Toby
2. Dinner Party
3. Money
I agree that Survivor Man was easily the worst episode of the season…it’s the “Phyllis’ Wedding” of Season 5, if you will.
i really loved Night Out, I’m surprised its so low on the list
hmmm…not really happy with the list, but what can i do? lol…here’s mine (favorites to least favorite)
1. goodbye toby
2. money
3. did i stutter?
4. fun run
5. the deposition
6. launch party
7. dinner party
8. local ad
9. night out
10. survivor man
11. DMI
12. chair model (it really wasn’t funny to me…too much focus on JAM)
13. branch wars
14. job fair
1.)Launch Party–9.9
2.)Goodbye Toby–9.9
3.)Chair Model–9.8
4.)The Deposition–9.8
5.)Night Out–9.0
6.)Did I Stutter?–9.0
7.)Local Ad–8.8
8.)Money–8.8
9.)Fun Run–8.5
10.)Survivor Man–8.4
11.)Dinner Party–8.2
12.)Job Fair–7.8
13.)Dunder Mifflin Infinity–7.5
14.)Branch Wars–7.0
I think Launch Party, Goodbye Toby, The Chair Model, and the Deposition are the greatest combination of humor, pathos, editing, and acting.
I think people were hard on Did I Stutter because of how serious part of it were. Watching it again, I really appreciate the funny in it, too.
Wow never expected the finale to rate that high.
14. Branch Wars
13. Goodbye, Toby
12. Launch Party
11. Job Fair
10. The Deposition
9. Survivor Man
8. Dinner Party
7. Dunder-Mifflin Infinity
6. Did I Stutter?
5. Fun Run
4. Money
3. Night Out
2. Local Ad
1. Chair Model
Hey, people actually liked a post-strike episode! The super low rating for “Did I Stutter?” confuses me.
14. The Deposition
13. Night Out
12. Launch Party
11. Job Fair
10. Branch Wars
9. Survivor Man
8. Local Ad
7. Dunder-Mifflin Infinity
6. Did I Stutter?
5. Fun Run
4. Goodbye, Toby
3. Dinner Party
2. Chair Model
1. Money
i agree with, besides chair model, pre-strike episodes crushing post-strike episodes
Us Tallyheads have been so hard on post-strike episodes! Chair Model being the exception, of course. But nothing tops Money!
i find the hour longs so hard to rate. for me the first half of fun run was okay and the second half was awesome. dunder mifflin it is the opposite. branch wars and night out, i loved the a story and thought the b story had funny parts (of course) but i wasn’t in love with the plot. i think every episode of this show is great i feel like i have to be strict with the episodes in order to rank one over another! every episode has moments and lines that are outstanding and rank at the top with any other episode.
Why the lower rating for Job Fair tanster?
Since we’re doing lists:
1. Survivor Man
2. Fun Run
3. The Deposition
4. Dinner Party
5. Money
6. Night Out
7. Local Ad
8. Chair Model
9. Launch Party
10. Branch Wars
11. Dunder Mifflin Infinity
12. Did I Stutter?
13. Job Fair
Mine is NOTHING like the official list. But as someone else pointed out, the rating difference between them is pretty minimal.
Updated once more, my list.
1) Money (9.5/10)
2) Fun Run (9/10)
3) Dinner Party (8.8/10)
4) The Deposition (8.5/10)
5) Local Ad (8.3/10)
6) Chair Model (8.1/10)
7) Job Fair (8/10)
8) Did I Stutter? (7.9/10)
9) Branch Wars (7.8/10)
10) Dunder Mifflin Infinity (7.6/10)
11) Launch Party (7.5/10)
12) Night Out (7.3/10)
13) Survivor Man (7/10)
Job Fair looks about right and it is where I’d place it. I still wish Dinner Party and Did I Stutter? were a smidge higher.
This is my list:
1) The Deposition (xoxo Michael)
2) Dinner Party, Fun Run, Did I Stutter?, Night Out, Branch Wars, Money, Dunder-Mifflin Infinity, Chair Model, Launch Party, Local Ad, Survivor Man
