I hated what they did with Andy and Erin in season 9. Andy become a different character and become too stupid and too selfish, i Blame the writers not the movie Handover 3. They could of writen that he had to go for a while and sends presents and cards to Erin. With Erin and Andy we spend season 6 to 8 on the will they or won't they, end of season 8 they are together and it feels earn, Andy gave up a good girlfriend Sarah to be with Erin and did a lot to be back to being the boss. Them breaking up in season 9 was out of no where and then weirdly she gets with Pete, now that makes her character not spending time that she needs to work on her feelings. Pete hasn't had the time which is fair since season 9 was the last, many of the Office staff had multiple seasons, so it feels like they force Pete in, which never works.

I am a Jim and Pam fanatic and in season 3 with Jim leaving to a different branch and getting together with Karen and Pam crying over him I hate it. I didn’t say that season 3 is bad though it’s not my favorite I think season 4 is the best and then season 2. I picked season 4 because of Jim and Pam 😅

For me The Office ends when Michelle leaves. Everything else after that didn’t happen in my mind.
Developed by Greg Daniels
Starring
For me S1 is by far the worst. Its 6 episodes, but somehow drags. It focused too much on awkward pauses, and people's reactions, which killed the pacing of the show.
Thankfully they realised their errors and turned the show into the greatest SITCOM ever produced
Steve Carell - Michael Scott
Rainn Wilson - Dwight Schrute
This list is terrible and couldn’t be more different from mine. I LOVE season 8. Yeah, I get it. It’s a controversial thing to say. But to me, it’s definitely a great season. Erin gets a lot of much deserved screen time, I love the Erin-Andy storyline, we meet Nellie who I wound up really liking, you get the chaos of Robert California, the Sabre Stores, the best Halloween Episode in the series and one of my favorite episodes of the series, the Christmas Episode. I don’t know my top 10 episodes but that’s definitely in my top 5, maybe even my top 3.
Also, to me at least, Season 1 is the worst. I honestly don’t know how he had it up to high. I’d never watch it again. For one, the quality is substantially worse then we get in the other seasons, it’s only 6 episodes, lots of characters who make the show in my view haven’t been introduced or get little to no screen time such as Erin, Andy, Jo, and others.
Finally, I think Season 2 is not great. I was shocked to see it as his favorite season. At this point in the show, I don’t really like Pam, Jim is good because they haven’t ruined him yet, and yeah, it has moments but I never find myself thinking about or rewatching this season. To me, it’s the worst after Season 1. I strongly believe that seasons 5-9 are astronomically stronger and better seasons than 1-4. But that’s just me.

I found most of the series to be pretty consistent up until Michael Scott left. The 2 seasons after that weren't as good for different reasons, not necessarily coz Michael was absent. For Season 8 I found Robert California to be super creepy and there were a bunch of plotlines that just got on my nerves. With Season 9 I found that they kept sidelining Andy for no reason and was rooting for him and Erin at the start but not at the end, so I think they did him dirty. I also didn't love how they gave everyone relationship problems on Season 9, especially with Jim & Pam.
James Spader - Robert California
Melora Hardin
unpopular opinion but i liked s8

Still one of your best videos. Your enthusiasm is absolutely infectious. Here's to the revival!

I definitely disagree with you regarding season 9. Season 8 is by far the worst season. Season 9 wasn't amazing or anything, but in my eyes, it's more watchable than season 8. The only thing I can say that I like is the Tallahassee 4 episode arc. Other than that, it was trash

I actually prefer s8/9 over 1. After that they’re at the bottom but I enjoyed the change to absurd humor and it gave room for the rest of the characters screen time and development
@TwiliiteImo it would go:
9) Season 8 -
Pros:
- Andy’s character
- The pool party
- David Wallace
Cons:
- Switching of managers
- Robert California
- First season without having Michael :(
- Nellie’s first introduction
- Val
- Just more mediocre jokes and less iconic moments
- Kinda overly too sexual sometimes
8) Season 1 -
Pros:
- Basketball
-
Cons:
MADE FOR NBC PEACOCK
@edgamet8077My ranking :
9. Season 8: 5/10 no episodes I consider my favorites.
8. Season 1: 5.5/10 Best episodes basketball and diversity day, both 9/10 episodes.
7. Season 9: 6/10 Best episode is Finale, it's 10/10 episode.

4. Season 5: 8/10 a great season overall, 10/10 episodes include the surplus, morrocan Christmas, and obviously the 2 parts of stress relief.
3. Season 3: 10/10 yeah perfect already, best episodes include initiation, the convict, the Christmas special, beach games and the job.
2. Season 4: 10/10, again perfect, best episodes include goodbye toby, fun run, branch wars, night out and obviously dinner party.
1. Season 2: idk 11/10 better than perfect, best episodes include, booze cruise, the injury, casino night, Christmas party, the dundies and office Olympics.

As someone who just finished watching the office for the first time (literally earlier today), I actually really liked season 9, especially compared to season 8. I thought that a lot of the episodes were absolutely hilarious, many of the characters had great arcs, Andy felt like a new Michael and I loved that, and Jim and Pam's arguing made the last couple of episodes so much more satisfying.
I'd say that it was one of my favourites.

My opinions
9. Season 8 - It was better in the beginning, I have a hard time watching the arc with Andy trying to get Erin and Nellie stealing Andy’s job, but I like the last episode where Dunder Mifflin is bought back from Sabre
8. Season 1 - This season is very weird, I have a hard time watching some episodes, but I love The Alliance episode and Amy Adams at the end
7. Season 7 - I do like a lot of the episodes here, in the episode after Michael leaves is a little weird with Deangelo as manager
6. Season 9 - I’m actually pretty fond of this season. The Farm was the first episode I ever saw of the series. I like a lot of the episodes in this season and of course the Finale is a perfect ending to the show
5. Season 6 - Great season, I love when Jim is co manager he doesn’t do that well if a job and people are upset with him, I like the arc with Michael’s girlfriend cheating WITH him, and Niagara, The Delivery, great season
4. Season 5 - I love this season. I love the first 6 episodes with Holly, it’s a great follow up to the end of Season 4, and then it goes a little downhill with the Michael Scott Paper Company, but I still love this season
3. Season 3 - VERY good follow up to season 2 in the beginning with Jim in Connecticut and then that branch comes to Scranton, and then at the end when you see what’s about to happen w/ Jim and Pam, amazing season
2. Season 2 - Equally as good as season 3. Something about this season just brightens up the show for me
1. Season 4 - Very funny season. Not much to say, I like how there are a lot of the 42 minute episodes, great season
great list
@haggersa21My favorite season is season 5
@scottyungeberg9129Andy was a good part of the show until he became a psycopath and kinda ruined the show
