The office is my favorite show all time. I've seen it dozens of times. I can probably recite some episodes from memory.

Here is my initial reaction:



The world has changed a lot of the last 15 years. I don't think a major network will bring that kind of comedy to the air again. Plus, what else needs to be done? Everyone's story was wrapped up. Most feel like it drug on too much ready.

Is the first time a show has been redone a third time? I'm guessing not but maybe so?

Color me skeptical it can address even half the situations that historically happen in offices. They will rule out most content from the get-go.

Here's how to successfully reboot The Office:

Do you really think people don't know about the original series?

Lol... this actually makes me happy. We know it will be woke as hell, and will therefore completely fail. Woke is not funny.

Seeing woke trash fail entertains me to no end.

The thing I saw was that the actors who played Pam, Stanley, that little blonde accountant weirdo and Creed were all about doing it. I could see it being a weird "ok boomer" style show where the 4 old crew is generational battling the new office workers. Maybe the 2 factions exchange members back on forth based on stupid stuff like is Hilary Swank hot? But...you could update it to someone current. Standard sitcom setups where older gen vs new gen.

Think the writing has to be superb, and you also need to keep up the old personalities of the older characters. They're weird enough as it is without relying on the standard sitcom tropes. Why did Stanley leave Florida and unretire? (He was bored and was offered the manager job in Scranton)
I'd like to find out stuff like...where was Creed on January 6th? Deucing on a senator's desk? Selling dirt weed to antifa?

There's some stories in there, maybe. Hijinks ensue?

We kinda already got that with theme when Ryan took over. Made everyone use blackberrys. Made Michael learn power point. Update the website. Michael want to win everyone back with gift baskets.

There was a lot of great things about the office but what really made it go was Michael's shenanigans, Jim-Pam relationship, & Jim-Dwight relationship. Without that, it'll never be anywhere close.

Would a reboot even have any of the original characters?

As a general policy, I try to never agree with Sea Speed, but hes right. Reboot means a new cast, like The Wonder Years, or any of the 50 Star Treks.

A lot of countries have made their own version of the Office.

Only shot a reboot can work is a totally different cast. Maybe even a different industry/office setting.

The moment you try to bring 3-4 characters back only you're setting up for failure especially if it's someone like Pam saying things like "with Jim working out of town so much "(because Krazinksi isn't on the show).

Even the star treks don't apply there. New series within the same universe +/- overlap with characters in one of the other series isn't a reboot. And sometimes different points on the same timeline. It would be like following another branch outside of Scranton, or the next generation of employees (which still isn't a reboot). Or Frazier vs Cheers.

The JJ movies can be argued, so if that's what you were referring to, then I concede.

See last season of scrubs. I like to think it was never made, which would probably be how this would play out if it's as you describe.

But how many have actually watched it though? It's fantastic and far better than the US.

Hopefully it has that tight-ass blonde Christian chick from accounting.

No, it isn't. I don't know if there is anything more overrated than the UK Office.
