The time spent in Florida also allowed for easily the best Jim and Dwight interactions all year. When Nellie was first introduced she was not nearly as annoying as she would eventually become. Some of this was fixed with the start of the Florida storyline, which was easily one of the highlights of the season. At this point there are far too many stray plot points to be solved by the series’ end. There was no sense of development or direction, something the show had done so well in the past. But another, more serious problem was that the show would just bring up random plot lines then forget about them. Watching the show became like going to work. The problem with these episodes was that they almost completely lacked humor. Another big disappointment was Christmas Wishes, which ruined the tradition of fantastic Office Christmas specials. The first truly bad episode was Gettysburg as Andy started to become truly annoying. Starting with Spooked and all the way through Jury Duty, one of the worst episodes of the show ever, The Office started its collapse into mediocrity bordering on absolute crap. Robert California was not feeling too intrusive yet. Andy was a worthy successor to Michael Scott. There was hope after those four episodes. The List was a pretty good season premiere and Garden Party was the best episode of the season. The first four episodes did a nice job of setting up Andy as the new boss. Season eight of The Office actually started off pretty well.
That is not the score I will be giving the season, but it might be close. That average actually came out to be a little higher than expected (6.1/10). Using the calculator on my wonderful iPhone, I just took an average of all the scores I gave to all 24 episodes this season. This used to be a fantastic show and while it is still better than a lot of other comedies on television, The Office has fallen and shows no signs of getting back up.
