Turf War (#8.23)

[ComedyFan2010 · 9/10 · 4 February 2019]

Robert California closes one of the branches when drunk and the salesmen from other branches compete for the clients.

Great episode! Robert California when hungover was great. And I really wish to know what message he left to Nellie...If only Pam would not protect her so much all the time. They made the character now less annoying but she still took Andy's job!

Speaking of which the whole salesmen competition story was great. And I loved how Andy managed to do it all. Go Andy!

A couple of laughs and a glimmer of hope

*** Slight bit of SPOILER hints about story arcs****** If you're reading this in the spring of 2012, then you must be a fan, and you know what an up and down struggle this season has been. I think most fans will agree that this episode wasn't too bad, and suddenly at the end it gives a glimmer of hope that they might actually find some solid footing for this series to continue on. I found most of this episode amusing and actually laughed out loud once or twice. There is a funny chase scene with Dwight and Jim versus a salesman from a different office, and Pam and Nellie have a bit of bonding. What this episode did most, though, was to bring us back to a realistic basis for the show. For me, the humor of this season didn't hold up too well, because we had moved the Office into a goofball alternative universe, Robert California style. But in the closing moments of this episode, when we lose all sympathy for Robert, they suddenly open the door to a much more plausible future. During this season this series has repeatedly tried to jump the shark; suddenly, against all odds, they look like they might rally and bring it back. At least for a couple of decent seasons. I hope so. Let's see.

I've been rewatching and ranking every single episode of The Office. Turf War is the best episode on season 8 by far. It's hilarious and thrilling!

Hilarious.

10 for Jenna's perfect acting after deleting all the voice mails.

Competition For The Client

[vivianla · 26 February 2021]

A man from the NYC branch comes in asking why Scranton is taking clients that is within their boundaries.

Andy goes to meet the client to see if he can take him. Jim and Dwight race against the man to get to the client first.
