Though I thought The Office Season 8 w/Robert California (J. Spader) was quite funny, I am extremely dissapointed in Season 9.
It's becoming more of a soap opera with the Jim/Pam problems, and the increasing focus on Dwight's farm is ridiculous (though I know it's just a set up for his show?!). IMHO, the episode when Pam had to go help Dwight "clean up" his Aunt was boring & pointless.
That being said, there have been some funny moments, i.e. the first episode of the Season when Dwight competed with the young "Little Dwight" & unsuccessfuly walked on the wire; the most recent episode when Todd Packer pretended to be apologizing to the office & instead gave them "funny" cupcakes; the most recent cold-open when Dwight threw dirt in everyone's face, etc.
It's just that, IMHO, the show has lost a lot of steam; so, I'm glad it's ending before it gets any worse.
Side-note: I have watched quite a bit of "The Mindy Project" (the M. Kaling show), and find it extremely funny; though it's not as good as "The Office" in it's heyday, IMHO it's definitely funnier & more clever than the past several seasons of "The Office". Worth checking out if you haven't done so already, and I like how several current & former "Office" actors/actresses make cameos.
