285: Pilot (extended cut) + New Years Resolution Board

"I've, uh, I've been at Dunder Mifflin for 12 years, the last four as Regional Manager. If you want to come through here... See we have the entire floor. So this is my kingdom, as far as the eye can see." This week we go all the way back to the beginning—we’re talking about the Pilot! In the spirit of the new year and fresh off our rewatch of the BBC Office, we use this episode to look back at the very first episode of NBC’s The Office. We look at the first illustrations of our favorite characters, how it lines up with its British precursor, and the new additions from the superfan edit. And along the way we make sure to highlight all of the new talking heads, fake firings, and staplers in jell-o that go into this episode. Then we head to the Conference Room where we talk about things to we want to leave in 2024 and add for 2025! Our job is to speak to listeners on a podcast about... uh, quantities and types of Office-themed podcast episodes. You know, whether we can supply it to them. Whether they can pay for it. And…we’re entertaining ourselves just talking about this. Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!
