Yes.

I mean there are times I waver and think it's Dwight or Andy, but Creed packs the most punch (considering he's not in as many scenes as the others)

I am in the middle of season 1 right now... I am getting there. Didn't realize I had access to it.

The show didn't really know what it wanted to be until "College" at the earliest. The pilot is especially weird.

That's an interesting take. I like the pilot.

I never really got the Andy love.

Of the background characters I liked Creed and Stanley the best

IMO, Andy was at his best when he was just a salesman in Utica and early on in Scranton. He became overused real quick.

I don’t get any Andy love either. Through 4.5 seasons it seems clear him and Ryan are the worst characters.

I like when Dwight walks in and just starts banging the purses on the table.

Ryan is a villain so you're supposed to hate him.

I dont know what to tell you about the Nard-Dog. He's great.

There are some characters coming that you will hate more than Ryan, imo

I get that, but ideally the villain in a comedy has humorous scenes and lines too.

Angela is a villain in the office but "Phyllis, you're a married woman!" might have made me laugh more than any other one liner in the show so far.

I think the original version of Temp Ryan being creeped out by Micheal was great.

Also the New York druggie version. After that he got a little weird.

Michael, Dwight, Creed. Andy is a boob.

Michael: Did we get any mail?
Pam: Yeah, I gave it to you.
Michael: Yes you did. Yes, you did. Just checkin'. Just checkin', double checkin', checkin' on the check. Thoroughness is very important in an office and...
Pam: So, can I..? [points to the door]
Michael: Yeah, yeah, of course. Uh, Pam, one more thing. Um, how do girls your age feel about futons?


Michael: What, stop! Whoa! That's my Drakkar Noir.
Ryan: No, this is Rite Aid Night Swept.
Michael: No, it is a perfect smell-alike. I'm not paying for the label. Right here. Give it.
Ryan: Well, it's empty.
Michael: Not it's not, there's some in the straw. [Michael opens bottle and wipes straw along his neck] There, now you may throw it out.
Ryan: Wow. How many filet-o-fishes did you eat?
Michael: That's over several months, Ryan.
Ryan: [Under his breath] Still.

6 seasons later...


Michael accidentally hands Kelly a fast food receipt and she asks "This is a fast food receipt from April. God, how many number nines do you order?"

Spoiler alert that shit dude. I guess there's no reason to waste my time finishing the series now that I know what's coming.

Does she get a lot worse?

I left off last night in Season 5, I think with her moving to NH or something because her and Michael were dating. She's not my favorite character but I don't get all the Holly hate yet. I'm assuming she gets way worse.

Creed was great as long they didn't overuse him.
All the "background characters" were like that. Stanely, Meredith, David Wallace, Oscar, Kevin...all terrific when used in the correct way and time frame.

I thought the "Holly thinks Kevin is retarded" subplot was a little too broad.

I did laugh pretty hard when she was talking to the camera and said "I have to get him bucked in"

Nellie is awful. Deangelo is bad too, and I love Will Ferrell.

Andy starts off OK but he’s god awful by the end.

I thought the finale was really well done.
