The Office Preview: Deposition

by LiRa

Untitled_1.jpgAs any Office fan or viewer should know, the last of The Office episodes for this year airs this Thursday. The big set back is on account of the still unresolved writers’ strike. The Office became the very first TV show to fold, with production shutting down less than 48 hours after the strike began; and with the studio firing about one hundred of its crew.

How the show has suddenly come unprepared for this situation, with nary a back-up plan that would not keep viewers hanging, could be due to the fact that the show offered four one-hour episodes last October. Also, I’ve came to learn that The Office is one of those shows which would tape episodes closer to the airdate. The cast was set to shoot next week’s episode the Monday the strike began. But, as we’ve learned, the show has closed early.

Technically, Deposition would have been its 12th episode, if I did my math right. And had that been the case, the show would have lasted us till February.

Episode Title: Deposition
Episode Summary: Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) finds himself between a rock and a hard place when Jan (Melora Hardin) sues Dunder Mifflin and Michael is deposed as a witness. Meanwhile, Kelly (Mindy Kaling) trash-talks Pam (Jenna Fischer) after Darryl (Craig Robinson) beats Jim (John Krasinski) at ping-pong.

This is the promo ad NBC ran for all of Thursday night’s comedy line-up this week and you’ll see a very short scene with Michael telling the litigators just who the “twins” are.

Those few seconds of Michael cracked me up! And just for a while, it makes me forget that we won’t be able to watch new episodes of this brilliant series in a long while… only to snap back to reality and feel all sad again.

For sentimental reasons, I have a feeling Deposition will be one of its best episode.

I miss this show already.

About Watching The Office

Watching The Office follows the lives of office workers in the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, as they face day to day business operations under the guidance or actually, misguidance, of their often inappropriate boss, Michael Scott. One of NBC's best comedy shows, The Office is the incarnation of a revolutionary BBC TV comedy bearing the same title. Hailed for its sharp humor and unique concept, The Office has received multiple recognitions from several award giving bodies since its USA premiere in 2005. Watching The Office will cover everything we get our hands on regarding the show, And from time to time, we will also bring the spotlight on its British version. So, pick a desk and settle down. Let's get working…
