I accidentally saw some episodes of the office. Michael Scott and Dwight are more reactionary than I originally remembered. Just small details, but also the character’s personalities.

I just get a lot of vibes like, the writers thought “History has ended” but seeing this stuff later in life I know for a fact history comes back for season 2.

I’ve noticed things and gotten the vibe from other old TV shows, too.

the early seasons are the best, when the writers still remember that taking years to fill in a trash pit and plant some trees is supposed to be a joke

That should’ve been the series finale, when they finally fill up the hole. Or they’re finally about to start, but some bureaucratic thing stops them.

Someone had the theory that the change happened when one of the writers died.

Oh shit, was it Harris Wittels? I’d believe that. He was a ridiculously funny human being.

In addition to writing, he also played one of those stoner animal control guys. I think it was opiates that did him in.
