Next spring, it’ll shockingly be a decade since fans said goodbye to The Office. Even though it’s been so long since the show ended, it’s still out there as if it never went away, living through syndication, streaming services, and numerous podcasts and books. When it was on Netflix it was always among the most streamed offerings the service provided. It’s a pop culture phenomenon with characters and catchphrases that have become a way of life. And it almost never happened.
While the remaining episodes of that shortened season are all mostly original creations, they still copied from the British version way too much. Michael had yet to be the lovable dope that we’d come to know over the years. Here, with his hair slicked back, he was more of a jerk, someone unlikable rather than a flawed man you could relate to and root for. The show was more mean, a far cry from the comfort food that would make it so endearing.
Then came “The Christmas Party.” It’s one of the series’ classic episodes. Here, Michael organizes an office gift swap, while Jim is trying to woo his crush, Pam, with a sentimental teapot. Of course, everything goes off the rails. Michael has gone overboard, as he usually does, buying Ryan a $400 iPod, even though the dollar limit has been set at $20.
