Fonzie's starting up the boat

5.0

By DavidStandish, Feb 06, 2011

While Season 6 has picked up significantly from Season 5, there is one underlying theme that must end. This can no longer be a show about how an 8 year old runs an office and works in a company environment. I don't care how good the sales are. Michael Scott's buffoonery has reached new levels and there has to be a way to write this show so that his moments aren't as significant to the overall 22 minute episodes. Cold open was fantastic, they used computer effects to season 2 and even brought back the lady that was the receptionist for a month some years ago, and it worked well. Thanks for the extra effort.

Hopefully Oscar figures out the plan to fix things without the stares of the executives and especially when he's not so nervous.

Plus lets find out more specifically how DMI is down so much. If its everyone but Scranton, let's find out why. Still recovering from Ryan as VP, other branches not selling, tell us Mr Wallace what's going on.

Andy and Oscar were great, and Dwight slowly falling further behind in line was another great extra that they didn't need to do but still chose to.

Let's also hope we don't get a Jim vs Michael war where Ryan is the starting point.

I have been very loyal to this show but more of Michael insisting on talking in public because he can and humiliating himself over and over again needs to stop. If watching someone making a fool out of himself is the joke and what fans like seeing, then maybe i should see a psychiatrist because i don't get it.

Thanksmoreless

This episode reminded me a bit of "Dwight's Speech" from season 2 but this of course was nothing compared in quality. Nothing much happened here, Michael acted like an idiot as usual, and nothing was really resolved on the Dunder Miflin going bankrupt front. Jim enforcing rules as co-manager was quite annoying, and anytime he tries to step in and be boss, it's quite annoying. Jim should honestly be demoted to salesman, him being co-manager isn't doing this show any favors.

A pretty forgettable episode overall, the only time I recall laughing was the cold opening with recyclops but that's about it. Another weak episode of The Office, things aren't looking up.moreless

Field trips from the office are generally fun

8.5

Dwights Recyclops opening sequence was one of the best ones he's had since he taught the office fire safety. Loved it.

The beginning of the episode was great with Michael figuring out how he was going to address the shareholders at the meeting, although after watching it I didn't know what he was really doing there besides the explanation that he was one of the managers keeping the company afloat. The limo scene was hilarious while they were all riding into the shareholders meeting and then stole it as they ran out of the meeting.

Dwight's question could have been a lot better after the 10 minute build up of him standing in line and waiting, but overall I think that it was an episode that was comparable to the Business Trip episode with Oscar. Pretty good, but still waiting for the punch that the beginning episodes of season six brought.moreless

I actually liked this episode...

The cold open was a nice touch with Dwight's character. It also made me chuckle few times. After some few duds episodes, I think The Office is picking up this season. Michael Scott is on the character than ever. The flow of the story entertain me. Though, my complain is that the characters Andy and Oscar are not used enough, they can be very useful. But other than that, is one the best one this season! In this installment, Michael always steal my attention, and he's actually really funny! Watch out Alec Baldwin! In the b-plot, the story between Ryan and Jim is not developed enough, but it's fun to watch! Outstanding Episode for a while.

God, I really wish "The Office" really picks up from now on..moreless

Michael is invited to a shareholder meeting and gets himself in a bit of trouble. Meanwhile, at Scranton, Jim tries to find a solution for Ryan's laziness.

A little darkness, plot advancement, and of course, the hilarious ridiculous antics from all of the characters made "Shareholder Meeting" a perfect episode. Shareholder Meeting was a different type of episode; it had serious plot advancement that took it over. That was good because it made the episode exciting and suspenseful. Some high points include Michael talking to the security guards, the shareholders booing at the company, Michael making a 45 Day, 45 Point program, and Michael telling the congressman he is not an idiot because he has won "17 Dundie Awards." Oscar also struggling to tell David Wallace (CFO), the CEO, ect. about his ideas to get the company out of the rut was a good part of this episode. Jim telling Ryan to go work in the closet while proving to the office that he was as much of a manager as Michael was a well-written, funny moment. Phyllis saying, "I'm plastered," was hilarious. If there is one complaint for the episode, it's the Recyclops cold open. The continuity was off and it was too forced. NBC shouldn't make the office follow the green week; the show takes place in a paper company! Anyway, Shareholder Meeting was a great episode with the exception of the cold open, and it brings up a question: Is this the beginning of the end?moreless
