Fear. Anger. Sadness. Joy. Disgust. Trust. Anticipation. Surprise. Those are not only the eight basic emotions, according to Robert Plutchikβs theory, but a decent description of our reaction to NBCβs The Office during its nine-season run, which ends tonight. For a solid five or six season stretch, it was one of the best sitcoms on TV (and all-time), before, as happens with too many shows with better ratings than ideas, it became a shell of itself.
βFinaleβ is going to be an emotional hour for anyone whoβs spent the last eight years caring about Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, and the rest of the Dunder-Mifflin gang, so I thought weβd go through each of the eight emotions above, to come to terms with no more The Office. Itβs good that itβs going, but itβs sad that itβll be gone.
Fearβ¦that we wonβt see Jenna Fischer, The Officeβs secret MVP, as much as we should. Steve Carell, John Krasinski, and Rainn Wilson get most of the attention, not undeservedly so, but Iβd argue that The Office is as much about Pamβs journey from sheepish secretary to confident salesperson as it is anything else. Plus, her speech βBeach Gamesβ is maybe my favorite moment of the entire show.
