New Guys (#9.1)
ComedyFan20104 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
There are new guys in the office and Dwight and Jim are worried about their future.

Not a bad starting episode. I like the new guys, mainly Dwight Jr. Him and Dwight together was great. We get the disappointed that Angela's kid isn't his but Oscar has a nice affair with the senator. I am also confused by Andy being surprised Nellie was there since he himself decided it. But no matter what him going after he now is a fun idea/ And Nellie is a better character in this position.

Jim and Dwight carry the Final Premiere
kobedawson23 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, why tf is Nellie still here? She isn't funny, interesting, charming or fit the show whatsoever. Who's dumb idea was it to keep her on the show? I honestly think this is favoritism for the actor at this point, you got rid of another terrible character last season(Thank God), but there's still one more left.

Not only does this make Andy look like an absolute pathetic dumbass but this further declines his character down(if that's even possible at this point).

Luckily we got a sense of intrigue for the storyline that Jim is in for another job. Dwight made me laugh from time to time and Kevin destroying that Turtle's shell makes me reflect on how terrible this show has gotten to this point.

Too many IMBD cry babies about this season.
raceblakhart28 April 2020
While this is my least favorite season because of the storylines with the sound guy, and the painting on the warehouse wall.

And as far as continuity goes, I see people writing in their review that Andy changed this season. He totally didn't. He's actually the very same Andy he was from his first episode. Power changes people like Andy. If you can't see how that dynamic works, you probably won't be able to follow most shows.

Why did they ruin Andy?
hbpinnock24 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This could have been the start of a good season had it not been for Andy-turned-giant-jerk. Erin is too kind of a person to be dating him, his quest for ruining Nellie's life doesn't make sense since he rehired her at the end of last season, and everyone just seems ok with his shift in personality. Made me miss Michael even more.

I am so happy that Kelly and Ryan are gone as they were easily me least favourite in the office so annoying and self centred

Did I miss something?

I can't be the only person who was confused by this. But Andy right at the end of season 8 CHOSE to re-hire Nellie on a positive note I might add. Now at the start of season 9, he's going on about how he wished she was dead. He's asking "Why is Nellie still here?" even though he clearly had the option to fire her but chose not to. Where's the continuity? Also Andy is becoming very unlikable. He's starting in on Toby which I guess kind of has a place considering in the past, the regional managers have typically had it out for Toby (Michael, Jim for one episode). But it's uncharacteristic of Andy.

I'm starting to regret having stuck with the show post-Michael leaving, but it's almost over at this point I feel I need to finish it.

a little disappointing
yomaspoop20 September 2012
I would like to start out this review by saying I am an avid fan of the office and didn't stop watching it once Steve Carrel left. I was really hoping that Greg Daniels and the creators of the office learned from last season's mistakes, but they didn't.

I watch old episodes of the office on almost a daily basis which always leave me in a roar of laughter or at least happiness, but this episode just made me sad and pulled me out of the story line. The actors who play Jim and Dwight just weren't acting that well at all, and I was never interested in the story.

I didn't laugh once. Andy was a huge jerk for no reason and I didn't understand why the writers chose to give him the characteristics that made people hate Will Ferrell's character of Deangelo Vickers.And Kevin was just cliché in his stupidity.I look back to the earlier seasons of the office and become deeply saddened.

None of the characters are the characters I fell in love with. Jim is now basic, not a prankster. Pam is a little mean and boring, not cute, perky, and moral. Andy is now a jerky boss, not an annoying singing sales man with anger bursts. Angela is now a happy normal character, not a tightly wound strict Christian girl who got angry and offended over everything.

I miss the pranks and love hate relationship between Jim and Dwight; now they seem to enjoy their company. I miss the older cameras that made each episode feel like a reel documentary and brought the set in a realistic light, not a modern, commercial one. And most of all, I miss Michael Scott.

The episode only had one miniature highlight at the end, but overall the episode wasn't funny and was disappointing. I will still finish the season though.

Can it get any worse?

Killing turtles is funny? Really? Characters cheating all the time is funny? Especially cheating with married or engaged people? I'm just forcing myself to finish the show I once loved. Btw, I hate Nellie!

Clark Duke single handedly destroys the show
george_cherucheril25 November 2020
Clark Duke was the greatest casting mistake made. He completely destroyed most of the last season of the office.

After The Summer
vivianla26 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Andy went on a wilderness trip with kids. He comes back and Erin greets him excitedly. She wears a super cute blue jacket and her hair is in curls.

Kelly has quit to go with her doctor boyfriend. Ryan also quits to follow them.

There are two new 22-year-olds called New Dwight and New Jim.

Jim says if he is not careful, New Jim will be working here for years doing nothing.

So many things gone wrong.
sakram17 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
You know that little urge that we had that kept us from dropping the show after Michael Scott left ? I am grateful for it, at least for Season 8 which wasn't totally a mess because I really had great laughs throughout many episodes and scenes, Robert California and Nellie Bertram were extremely great additions to the show. Although Season 8 doesn't stand above the rest it does the trick.

However, this Season premiere episode fell ludicrously flat. Nothing about is funny, nothing happens is interesting, the only scene that made me chuckle is when Dwight wanted to do the calibration-on-rope thing.

What went wrong? It is Andy turning into this giant butt*ole who accepted Nellie just to take revenge from her although he was a total idiot when he left work for his "romantic endeavor". Nellie is a great character and she was designed to be hated but many people ended up liking her for her eccentric personality. Yet, they just ruined Andy for us, great. It is Andy taking it out on Toby for absolutely no reason, no reason at all. Michael Scott hating on Toby had its reasons and it was hilarious because Michael loved many people and hated many people for unknown weirdo reasons. But Andy just hating Toby made no sense. It is when Kevin killed a turtle, an attempt of the writers to achieve "Dark Humor" but what the hell ? It sure is dark but it is not funny.

This doesn't look so good for the rest of the season. Dropping it already might sound rational after you see this episode. But the finale is only so close.
