I have never watched one episode of The Office. I only know it exists through Memes and GIFs. I guess we will be getting more!

What an unappealing cast that would be.

Jason Whitlock as Creed.

I mean sure - we'd struggle to come up with Jim and Darryl, or even baseline competence like Stanley (or even semi-likeable idiots like Michael, Dwight and Kevin) but surely we can come up with some composite characters even if they're largely fictional.

Going to be a complete dumpster fire of a show.

The Office was good more because of the chemistry between the actors than the actual story/writing.

I was thinking of the current crew (particularly the Opinion staff).

I can almost bet that this doesn't go beyond the first season.

I'm completely sick of remakes, reboots, and spin-offs.

Even a show as tame as The Office couldn't be made today, thanks to the "sensitivity" of modern audiences. This new show will almost certainly be dogshit, with gutless writing and bland humor. It will, however, showcase an extremely diverse workplace.

Have any of these reboots/spinoffs ever worked. I can't think of any.

Though i did enjoy the Ashton Kutcher - Two and a Half Men, but i feel like im in the minority with that.

To be completely fair, most would've said the same thing about the American version of The Office once announced.

That show just shouldn't have worked. But man did it.

And the reason I say that is that I HATED Michael heavy episodes. Thought they were just awful. But then when he left the entire show fell apart. So you realized that a character that you really didn't like as a central focus was instrumental to the success of the show.

How rare is that?

I mean yeah - the best bet is always that a show isn't going to work. Especially an ensemble show where you just don't know who's going to be a breakout character and if you've cast/written that character well enough. It would've been so easy for them to mis-cast Michael and have the show crater. Or Jim. Or Pam. Or Dwight. When you need strong support from several different characters and failing on any one of them could crater the whole thing, that's working without a net.

Last one is probably Frazier, right? Better Call Saul, but it's a drama rather than comedy. You could really stretch the definition and use The Simpsons I guess.

But really, it's Frazier as far as comedies go. That may be it unless you go back to all those All in the Family spinoffs back in the 70s.

Will it be more diverse than the cast that featured two black dudes, a gay latino, and an asian (more specifically Indian) woman?

On network TV? Not a chance.

I'd guess it will be more diverse than the original, but more importantly it won't be funny.
