| Fans demand writer's return to the picket lines until they can come up with better plot lines and without drastically changing characters. |
After a less than mediocre return of the NBC hit “The Office” former fans of the show picketed the Writer’s Guild offices demanding the writers go back on strike.
“Seriously, I mean, what the fuck was that episode?” said angry fan Matt Warner. “I TIVO’d that shit and for what? Halfway through I started weeping uncontrolably — and that was before Michael and Jan’s fight.”
Despite good reviews in the media nationwide of the famed Dunder Mifflin crew’s return to syndication, fans across the country couldn’t help but sit unsatisfied, scratching their heads and eventually turning over to unabashed anger after the half-an-hour episode.
Fans protesting for the return of the writer’s strike could be heard for miles, screaming their demands to NBC executives.
“What do we want?” “Strike!” When do we want it?” “Depending on the hilarity of the next episode, relatively soon!”
Among the crowd, fans did agree the one shread of humor throughout the entire return was the part when awkward Dwight showed up to the dinner party with what could only be described as an unkempt homeless hag.
“Yeah, that was pretty funny, I giggled,” Tori Richardson said. “But one giggle for the entire episode is, like, totally, like, not enough giggles.”
Female fans admitted if the writer’s refuse to go back on strike, they will continue to watch if Jim Halpert is in 90 percent of the shots … and also pantsless.
