KK 3,304 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I always thought that transition was pretty rough. And the show had a hard time finding its footing, especially in the following season. Andy was insufferable. Spader had some great bits though. The show managed to get it together again in its last season, as it drew closer to its finale. But a lot of that owes itself to these great characters. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I’m not a fan of Ed Helms so never really liked Andy’s character. He’s probably my least favorite. My only real gripe with the show is how characters just disappear at points. That’s obviously due to scheduling conflicts but it was always glaring how people would vanish for a half a season to reappear later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbellamy 6,235 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I remember hearing that whole section where Andy is gone sailing or whatever was specifically because Ed Helms was doing a Hangover movie for most of the year lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Yeah. B.J. Novak is just gone for half a season too while he was off doing Inglourious Basterds. Also some characters are just literally never seen again. Like the new hire that’s into Jim. She just disappears. I think Gabe disappears once Wallace buys back the company.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 That’s a shame. Though I do like how they ultimately wrapped his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I've got one and a half seasons left to watch and I'm still enjoying it, even without Carell. He was absolutely brilliant, but I think the show works surprisingly well without him. I hated Andy at first in this, but I've sort of warmed to him in the end. Michael Scott's schtick did encroach on tedium before he was written out, so I think the transition was quite organic considering the situation - and the once assumed reliance on the Steve Carell's role.
