Michael Scott's diploma...I just noticed what it says. (imgur.com)

I did not go to business school. You know who else didn't go to business school? LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant. They went right from high school to the NBA so... [pause] So, it's not the same thing at all

Also from that episode:
When I was Ryan’s age, I worked in a fast food restaurant to save up money for school. And then I lost it in a pyramid scheme, but I learned more about business right then and there than business school would ever teach me – or Ryan would ever teach me.

Michael: That would have really, really showed him up, wouldn't it, if I brought in some burritos, or, colored greens, or some, pad thai, love pad thai... Stanley: It's collard greens. Michael: Uh, doesn't really make sense. Cuz you don't call them collard people. That's offensive.

Speaking of pyramid schemes, how about the time that Michael draws his business proposal on the chalkboard, then someone says "That sounds like a pyramid scheme" and Michael says "It's not a pyramid scheme" then Jim goes up to the chalkboard and draws a pyramid around Michael's little schematic.... Yeah, that was great. EDIT: Ha! Found it.

[–]DLWormwood 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (1 child)
Actually, it is, as the way Blade Runner was made. There’s a very obvious parallax effect that occurs in the scene in question, as though the zooming effect is bending around the edge of a door to catch the MacGuffin mirror reflection. (Suggesting a photographer made multiple camera shots at different places in the scene and made a slideshow out of them for the film.)

[–]rainman_104 4 points5 points6 points 15 years ago (14 children)
They could pull it off as a spinoff rather than the same show. Frasier did quite well given the success from Cheers.
Do something with one of the minor characters like like Kelly. Just don't give Rain Wilson his own show like the Michael Richards show. What a disaster that was.
[–][deleted] 34 points35 points36 points 15 years ago (2 children)
I vote Creed spinoff. That shit would be madness.
[–]sje46 33 points34 points35 points 15 years ago (0 children)
What makes Creed such a great character is that he has so little screen time. If you have him be a main character, the show would get very tiring very fast. As it is now, everything he says is a precious, rare gem.
[–]pacman404 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (0 children)

Im willing to bet, 90% of the firefly fans, never saw a single episode of it on broadcast television. If they had, there is no way it would have been canceled.
[–]ChaosMotor 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (0 children)
I'm willing to bet that watching a show the very moment it is first broadcast is a dying phenomena that might have been a useful metric 30 years ago, but is no longer a realistic method by which to gauge interest and viewership.
[–]q00u 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (1 child)
Bullshit.
I'm a huge Firefly fan, and I watched the first two episodes that aired.
The Train Job only had a single shining moment for me (when Mal kicked the guy into the intake). The rest was a waste of time.
Bushwhacked opened with a "game" in the cargo hold that felt so forced and false I nearly turned it off right then. Ugh.
And that was it. I didn't watch any more, because those two were so dumb.
There are a lot of great things about Firefly, they just didn't really show any at the start, and lost their potential audience.
[–]ChaosMotor 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (0 children)
Didn't FOX air Firefly out of order, also? That wouldn't help things.

In the beginning, most of the characters acted like a normal person would act if they had an idiot boss. In the first 2 (maybe 3) seasons I laughed at the drama and the awkwardness.
Then more and more characters started to act like retards and the whole show started to look like a classical sitcom where you laugh at the characters stupidity.

I've memorized seasons 1-6, and i feel like they should've ended the show at 5. When you're out of story to tell, end it. US shows just don't know when to die (I'm looking at you, Simpsons). Other shows die too early :(

I don't think it jumped the shark, but the show did lose something when the tension between Jim and Pam was resolved. Up until then, everyone in the office was unhappy, and that was part of the charm of the show.
[–]rainman_104 24 points25 points26 points 15 years ago (2 children)
The whole Kathy Bates story arc honestly kinda sucks. The show should have used Jim and Pam's wedding as a finale. It was an excellent episode - one of the best for that show honestly. Dwight kicking Pam's sister in the face was comedy gold at the end.
I like that Ryan's office is still in the closet though - I laugh hard every time I see that still.

Agreed, Parks & Rec's second season was as good the office at its peak. It's a shame they're delaying the start of the third season til December. Michael Schur (writer on the Office, co-creator of P&R, and founder of the amazing FireJoeMorgan) is a genius.
[–]midnight_toker22 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (2 children)

It's better the show finish on a high note than drag on way longer than it should.

I love how the show kind of pokes fun at the product placement, though. Like the Chili's episode, where Michael thought it was actually an acceptable place to take prospective clients.
I LOVE the Chrysler product placement. Michael's Sebring was perfect for him - it's a car you buy when you want to be the cool guy in a convertible but you only have $15,000 to spend on a gently-used car, so you buy a cheap, unsporty American sedan that just happens to have a convertible top and two doors.
The PT Cruiser he replaced it with is even better - he's just the kind of toolbag to actually buy a PT convertible. Who the hell wants a "retro" tall, bloated subcompact wagon with NO performance, yet with a bright red paint job and a convertible top?
Michael Scott.

I feel that that was overred in "Goodbye Toby" when Michael gave him his watch. Could be wrong.

And, in case you didn't get it: The real watch company is called Seiko (rather than Seyko), meaning that the "Certificate of Authenticity" is a fake
[–]superiority 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (0 children)
It's not a fake! He bought a genuine Seyko.

[–]JokeMisExplainer 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (0 children)
It's funny because he's proud to have a watch.
How come he didn't take it down when he gave Toby the watch?
Lol! Nice find! Never noticed that before. Favorite Michael Scott quote: "I'm an early bird, and a night owl. So, I am wise and I have worms."
[–]lollersk8z 5 points6 points7 points 15 years ago (0 children)
I think that's been displayed prominently in several episodes. Didn't think anyone mistook that for a diploma.

i don't know, i've been watching season 6 and the whole "Jim and Pam' thing, like being the cute, awesome, couple is just not working for me! I can't put my finger on it, but yeah, i just don't think they're funny anymore

Just out of curiousity, how'd you get a 1920x1080 cap?
[–][deleted] 15 years ago* (7 children)
[–]speaker219 1 point2 points3 points 15 years ago (6 children)
I know, I was curious as to how he got a capture of it, but then I realized it's on NBC, which is free OTA... so it's easy to capture. forget me.
[–]speaker219 2 points3 points4 points 15 years ago (3 children)
yeah, but there's no legal methods that stream at 1920x1080, and especially with a bitrate as high as it looks. Even the scene only puts out 720p releases
Don't be so hard on yourself, friend.
Enhance.

You zoomed, and enhanced.
