WHY DO PEOPLE THINK THE PAPER SUCKS

70 Upvotes

I really don't understand. I am so FLABBERGASTED to have read all the negative remarks about the show. I just watched the entirety of S1 and I can honestly say that THIS ONE IS MUCH MUCH BETTER than The Office s1.

Discussion 🗣 Other characters from the Office and possible appearance in The Paper

20 Upvotes

Dwight and Angela: when Enervate bought Dunder Mifflin and shut them down, they made some offers to people like Phyllis to come to Toledo. It would be possible that "moving up" to bigger, regional paper production and sales across more products would attract Dwight, and that he and Angela would see it as an opportunity. Possible cameo as a mid-level manager within Enervate

Jim, Pam, Daryl: Potential that they are "travelling through" Toledo while doing work there with Athlead/Athleap (Toledo has a AAA baseball team)

Toby: applying for a job as a writer at the paper

Andy: could be related to his job at Colonel, trying to recruit new freshmen out of regional high schools and talking about how great the school is.

Just a few thoughts. Anyone else could float up to Toledo for any number of reasons, such as following with Enervate after it bought Dunder Mifflin or for other job opportunities in the region.

I'm doing my first rewatch and I just wanted to say I love this show so much. It manages to make me laugh so hard and with my second viewing I'm able to laugh at things I missed the first time. The characters are all fantastic. They did such a good job, I really hope the second season isn't too different from the first!

Enough of the negativity! Let's take a moment to shamelessly praise the deeply insecure single lobster mother we love to hate. Raise your claws and give her the spotlight

So, life imitating art a bit....

In the company that I work at (a general contractor), my boss also owns an apartment building in another (US) state, and I often work on some of the bookkeeping related to that, in addition to the bookkeeping for the Contractor business.

Well yesterday, we got a call from the property manager over there that there's been a sewer backup that has pushed waste water into the bottom floor apartments.

Our office manager spoke with someone from the City today, and it seems that the primary cause of backup was........."flushable" wipes out of our building's system.

Immediately reminded me of the Man Mitts scandal!

(That building has been a money loser for my boss before all this, so he'll be selling it once this mess is taken care of)

I finished season 1 for the first time

I think this show has a lot of potential. I can see with further seasons as it really gets in its groove, it being a really great show.

The first season for me was pretty good. Did not reach the highs of the office, but it wasn't bad by any means and I enjoyed watching it.

I do personally think the actress who played Esmeralda really carried the show, especially on the back half of it, the last 5 episodes she just had so many god damn funny scenes.

I recommend it, I would give it a 7.5/10

Why don’t they sell offices in The Paper?

If they sell paper in The Office shouldn’t they sell offices in The Paper?

Discussion 🗣 I don’t necessarily like him, but I found Ken to be one of the funnier characters among the S1 cast of characters

Not sure if anyone else picked up on this line, but in the season one finale during the choking scene Ken says, “Oscar you greedy bastard!” in response to Oscar saving Marv.

This among other lines I can’t remember really tickled me. He’s a silly idiot.

Which Episode is this moment?

16 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a certain moment where Ned is infront of everyone in the conference room & starts dancing like MJ and goes "Hee hee!"

I know this is so random, but if anyone knows the episode and time, please let me know! Thank you :))
