- There was a time when fans of The Office thought one of the worst things during the show's run was the departure of the beloved Michael Scott played by Steve Carrell. That was until the final season of The Office. When the writers almost broke the hearts of their fan base. Luckily this wasn't the case, and The Office gave fans exactly what they wanted in the end.

What are your thoughts on the infamous Brian Wittle?
The entire final season almost derailed the final season. Jesus, what they did to Andy..
I just thought it was really goofy and forced. Like all of a sudden there has been this hunky boom guy the whole time who is also secretly in love with Pam but he’s never been mentioned even once? That’s total clown shoes. Kelly Kapoor would have never shut up about the “cute mic guy” and we all know it. 😂
In those last two seasons I was in disbelief at how it almost felt like they were trying to tear apart Jim and Pam's relationship for absolutely no sensical reason. It felt so random and i just remember thinking "NOOOOO WHAT ARE THEY DOING". Worst idea of the whole show
Imagine a boom mic operator telling an entire crew to stop filming and having the actual crew do it. . .
Brian was an unnecessary addition to the show. For 8 seasons they pretty much just ignored that the show was supposed to be a documentary that was supposed to eventually air, then suddenly in the final season they're like "we better show people that this is a documentary that's supposed to eventually air so let's break that fourth wall even more." Looking back now he's so cringey with his constantly swooping in to save Pam. Not once did the camera crew ever break onto the screen during the first 8 seasons. Should have just not brought Brian in at all. A professional documentary crew wouldn't have let any of that stuff make it to air and surely wouldn't have let Pam actually visit a former employee on camera. Also I hated Jim when he got mad like that. Kinda almost ruined the character completely.
Andy floats in a lake for 12 hours, and the camera crew does nothing. Michael is going to jump off a building, and nothing. Andy runs into Dwight with a car, and crickets.
And that wasn't the first attempt. If I recall correctly, they tried it first with Cathy fliring with Jim and John Krasinski vehemently refusing to act on such a script.
I think Parks and Rec is one of the better if not best examples of a 'Will they Won't they' couple. Once Leslie and Ben are together, they're together. After Ben resigns, there's no giant misunderstandings or any real threats to their marriage. Instead of creating an impractical couple for the sake of jokes, they played off of the actual affection of each character.
I think the Brian defense scene would have been perfect if Brian was not introduced first. If he would have intervened seemingly out-of-nowhere I think it would have been a really powerful move. Like all of a sudden "Woah, I forgot that there's supposed to be a crew filming this whole time!" Instead, they immediately introduce Brian as someone the audience is not supposed to like. Make a character look good first, then introduce the controversy. It makes the definitive lines between good and bad blurred and makes for better audience intrigue and engagement.
Thats crazy I've always said Jim and Dwight's rivalry reminds me of Buggs and Daffy Duck lol 😆
The office after Michael was never really the same
You know, the fact that they tried two different times to have Jim and Pam cheat on one another really shows that they lost sight of what made the Office special. Its the day and the life of a Paper company. The work itself is not exciting, but the people breathe life into it. Sure, the people might be wacky sometimes.
The Office’s final season stumbled so that How I Met Your Mother could completely ignore the warning and run face first into the “don’t break up the main couple” wall two different ways in one episode
The funny thing is the way these plots ended up both Jim & Pam were given "will they cheat?" episodes and both did not, so their back pedaling at least sort of accidentally made these aborted plots kinda wholesome.
Not only did Brian breaking the 5th wall after Jim and Pam's fight make things weird, but it also messed up a great scene. Season 9 had been a disaster up to that point, and the ending with Pam and Jim fighting actually looked like it was going to leave the episode on a note of drama and tension that really made you want to see where it went next.
You can't tell viewers that Jim and Pam are soulmates and once they got together have very little disagreement between them to having them almost divorce three years after marriage.
The introduction of Brian Wittle was the worst moment in the show's history, imo, for one reason: it broke a rule that the show had established.
Pam and Jim relationship problems were actually really well done and engaging for the most part, viewers could relate with both of them, but Bryan was absolutely unnecessary, it was way too much.
The title implies that the final season isn’t already so bad it should be rendered non-canon lmao.
