I have been enjoying the show. It isn't as good as it has been or anything but still usually pretty damn funny.

I get the feeling Mindy Kaling is basically the show's driving force right now.

Agreed.

Apparently the whole cast wants to return for season 9 but its up to NBC

Yeah. I cant find anything on whether NBC has renewed it for next season.

I think I'm still enjoying it more than the last couple of michael scott seasons.

Not sure if this makes sense but...

I think there was a higher floor but lower ceiling to those episodes.

These days it feels like sometimes (not a lot) an episode simply doesnt work but the funny ones are realllly good.

That might be it. The ones that bomb now are pretty terrible, but the ones I like I really like.

I really liked the one where they go to Robert's post divorce man cave.

I love him in small doses as well.

"Why is Jim treating the magician poorly?"

So does Angela and their love child go with Dwight to wherever he goes?

The last two Office episodes have been better than the last 2 Parks and Rec. I'm pretty tired of the city council election arc.

Yeah, they've really dragged that out.

Great show though.

Maybe I need to give Parks & Rec a chance? I always viewed it as an Office wannabe, but now that The Office is rarely worth watching anymore (though I still do) maybe I should check it out. I know it's the same writers from The Office's early days right? Or producers? I really didn't like Amy Poehler on SNL.

I wasn't an Amy Poehler fan either, but she's good on Parks and Rec. Season 2 was great.

Watch it but start at the beginning. It's awesome. Its on Netflix.
