Jon, off topic, but what did you think of the new office last night? to me, its not the same without michael scott, but it was still funny.

I really enjoyed last night's episode. I've been a fan of the show for a long time, and it's just really interesting to see how the writers are developing the characters now and the new balance between the cast. I loved the show with Michael Scott, but things were beginning to get a little "stale" with him at the center of most shows and exhausting most ideas of things to do with him.

I like how they replaced Michael with California as CEO and Andy as manager. It adds an extra dynamic to the show, Spader plays that character incredibly well, and Andy is a different kind of manager than they have ever had and he's had some good one liners and moments so far. I like how they gave someone like Andy a chance to "grow" into the position after starting out unsure of himself; makes his character a lot more human and lovable and we need that in some of the show's characters.

edit: I see you're new here. You should start reading the Movie/TV Board if you're into that. We have threads for each episode of all the popular TV shows like The Office.
