    "Good"
    By Canogaparkcindy, Nov 20, 2011
    A good finale for The Office, we've got a very eventful moment for the last scene of The Office, and it was somewhat emotional and got me to realize why I still watch this show no matter how many mediocre blunders they manage to create. Because of the emotion and the intriguing characters.

    The show is losing it's way on the comedy though, that they especially need work on considering the whole Michael & Holly sketch bit, I swear I heard crickets chirping. Maybe it's a tough audience? Maybe if Steve Carrel was funny again, than people would have laughed, onscreen and off.

    The volleyball bit was funny, and the end made up for all the flaws that this episode had. I still think they should have done something with Michael & Holly after all season of build up, this was the perfect time to get them together again, or at least have some closure. Good finale, not the best. Great heart warming ending.moreless

  • An exceptional episode. This is why I watch this show!

    I believe this was the season finale. I've been watching on dvd's. I absolutely loved the interaction Michael has with Holly on the picnic. He plans to tell her how he feels about her, then decides not to because they had had such a great day together. Michael showed spunk and maturity and respect. And the ending of THIS show!!!! wow. I was shocked. I won't reveal it, but most of you know what I'm talking about. And because Volleyball is a favorite sport of mine, I loved the whole scene where the Scranton branch is about to pummel the New York head honchos. Does anyone else loathe the guy who took Jan's job? I was hoping someone would spike the ball right where it hurts!!!!moreless

    What can I say? Sweet, fun, endearing and significantly invested in character, Company Picnic represents the culmination of The Office thus far, and it's a wonderfully enjoyable twenty minutes at that. Out on the annual picnic that Dunder Mifflin holds each year for corporate and all the branches, the employees find themselves confronted with old lovers, old friends and old rivalries. The episode mixes brilliant comedy usually stemming from each of the regular cast and their respective counterparts from other branches, with touching drama and romance cutting in between Michael with Holly and Jim with Pam. In the end, it's hard to say what makes Company Picnic the joy it is for fans with each element making such a profound impression, but one things for sure is that the season certainly goes out with a fun, entertaining and heart-warming bang. Bravo.moreless

    This was one of the best episodes this season. I do not think it should of been an hour long. But just think about this season as a whole. We got Holly Flax, Charles Miner, and Erin/Kelly Hannon, and Rolf. We had a Weight Loss Competition, a Crime Aid, a Baby Shower, and a Business Ethics seminar. We had the super bowl spot. We had a Lecture Circuit, where we once again saw Karen Fillipelli. We had a Blood Drive. Charles Miner came and we had the best part of the season, The Michael Scott Paper Company/Charles Miner story arc. We had the company than turned into a Cafe Disco. We had a Company Picnic. This episode had it all. The awkward Slum-Dunder Mifflinaire, Rolf and the volleyball game, and the ending was decent too. Season six, hopefully will be a little better than this season, and I HOPE that the first episodes are not based on relationships.moreless

    The worst ever season of the Office has finally come to an end, and it's time for the makers to introspect and reevaluate the genre and purpose.

    The mocumentary concept has clearly taken the back seat, and workplace setting is not utilized most of the time. I understand the show is trying to find a new direction; it nevertheless makes sense to find ways to appeal to viewers who enjoy the original version that made it famous in the first place. This episode was a decent watch. I am not saying this was funny, or inspiring, or even something that had a awesome storyline. They have pieced together some good bits and pieces to make a bearable episode. The picnic idea was okay with Dwight trying to act normal. The theater skit using a parody of Slumdog Millionaire was poor, and can only seen as an attempt to give Micheal and Holly some alone-time to rekindle their relationship. Finally, whats up with the pregnancy thing. I get it- it was not explicit and all. A lot of shows try to end seasons on a mystery note, and the Office has clearly tried to follow suit. Well whatever, lets hope for a good 6th season.moreless

    • David Wallace: A little boy just walked up to me and said, "Is my daddy gonna have a job by Christmas?" Michael: He's just thinking about his own gifts.
