Some housekeeping: There is some disagreement about how episodes in some seasons are numbered. Also: I'll admit, my rankings skewed toward rewarding episodes that had big, emotional moments because I LIKE THOSE and why do you not like to feel? Yes, 40 points is an arbitrary measure, but I thought it was important to show what an episode did well, or not so well, in comparison with others. A (theoretically) perfect episode would get a 40, although none did. I took copious notes, scorched my retinas with endless screentime, and scored the episodes on four categories:Įach category is worth a possible ten points and my scoring goes out two decimal places because it's ridiculous.
#SOUND NORMALIZER 7.99 SERIAL SERIES#
(I'd already, of course, watched the series in its entirety at least four times before this.) 185 episodes, which aired from 2005 through 2013. So I decided on a whim, fuck it, let's go for the whole damn series. Several years back a friend suggested that I "rank some episodes" of The Office. My obsession was not only consuming, it was public, and perhaps my most normie behavior. Or someone would mention an injury and, presto, I'd be quoting Creed: "You ever notice you can only ooze two things? Sexuality and pus."Įverything became The Office to me. Or it'd be a rainy day and suddenly I was recounting Phyllis' 12 cliches. I'd try to be thoughtful, but the only wisdom I could muster was Jim picking up the phone and telling Athlead he was in. I'd be out for drinks with a buddy, talking about their major career decision. It went from being a show I enjoyed to being every other reference in my conversations. It happens while you aren’t looking.įor me, I realized The Office bordered on obsession when it began creeping into my daily existence.
