"The Office" Revival Might Be Completely Unnecessary

Cue the piano intro and the montage of Scranton, Pennsylvania! On December 18, NBC announced that there is a possible revival of the beloved TV show in the works.

It would include a mix of brand new characters working at Dunder Mifflin, as well as a few of our favorite employees from the original American series. Although there are minimal details about the project, it is likely that more information will appear on our newsfeeds as the 2018-2019 NBC season approaches.

As we all know, “The Office” is definitely one of the most popular and highly-praised TV shows of our time, and a revival is sure to catch the attention of many avid fans or newcomers to the series. However, is a revival really what “The Office” fans want?

Personally, I love “The Office” how it is; I’ve seen the series at least twice through and can quote the show in any given situation. I’ve taken several quizzes to figure out which character I am (it’s Pam) and know which episodes I need to watch if I’m having a bad day or need to relax. But when I heard about this revival, I was skeptical. As much as I love “The Office,” one of my biggest fears is that the revival will just draw out the series in an unnecessary way. I don’t want my favorite show to be ruined for me.

One of the biggest factors that will definitely affect how much criticism it’ll receive is which characters will be coming back. In the series finale, we know that some characters that we’ve grown to love have left Dunder Mifflin probably for good. This would include Andy, Kevin, Darryl, and (of course) Jim and Pam.

But that still would leave a handful of employees that we also love, like Erin, Angela, and the one and only, Dwight K. Shrute. It is hard to tell at this point who is on board for the revival, since no casting details have been officially released.

However, it was reported that we will not see Michael Scott anytime soon in the revival. Although Steve Carell's character made the show a hit, his lack of appearances in the eighth and ninth season set us up for unlikeliness of showing up to Dunder Mifflin for another few episodes.

So, here is what we can gather from this so far: "The Office" revival may either be the best thing for the series, or the worst, depending on how many episodes they choose to produce, the characters they bring back, and the new ones they create. We'll definitely have to keep our eyes open for any news related to the revival, because for avid fans like me, every piece of information is vital for our favorite show.

Who knows? Maybe we might get to see one more Christmas party, or one more prank on Dwight, or even one more "that's what she said" joke.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
