The debate over The Office stems from whether or not you could make it today. It's the new Blazing Saddles as a measuring stick for political correctness. Of course, you COULD make it today. It was the most popular streamed show during the pandemic, regardless of how many humorless, woke, leftist twats whine on X and on their corporate media-owned blogs about how "problematic" the show is. Also, Steve Carell and Mindy Kaling.

We've been having the wrong debate. The question isn't if you COULD make it today. The question is if you SHOULD make it today. The answer is, of course, no. So, of course, NBC has plans to reboot it. Or, more specifically, spin it off.

Via Variety:

As has been previously reported, the show is not a reboot or spinoff of “The Office,” but rather a new mockumentary show with a new cast set in the same universe. For the first time since the show was first revealed to be in the works in late 2023, plot details are now available. The official logline states:

“The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.”

The Office is revered here at the Louder with Crowder Dot Com website. All new employees are given a test on communication using nothing but .gifs from the show. We need to make sure you're one of us.

Spinning offThe Office will suck for one of two reasons. The first is, following what is standard Hollywood protocol as of late, it will be done to pander to the sensibilities of the people who hate the show and any comedy that doesn't validate their progressive worldview. The show will be geared towards getting attaboys from leftist peers living in Park Slope and Los Angeles, and no one else.

Like if they rebooted The West Wing in 2024, the show would be nothing more than a glorified subtweet against Donal Trump. The fact that the new The Office is being set at a newspaper, ten bucks say it winds up one sloppy wet kiss to the journalisming industry.

The other reason is like most reboots, this will be nothing more than a bad parody of the source material. Isolate what a board room thinks was funny about the first show, and run that premise into the ground. Sprinkle in a liberal amount of corny references from the first show. Dylan gets angry because Jeffrey put her vape in a Jell-O mold.

If there is any saving grace, the show is set to star Domhnall Gleeson, who is also in one of my all-time favorite movies, About Time. And NBC's reboot of Night Court isn't terrible.

I'd like to believe this show won't suck. But that would require faith in the entertainment industry.
