On tonight’s The Office season 9, episode 21, “Livin the Dream,” Andy tries to work up the nerve to quit his job and pursue his dreams of stardom. Dwight finally receives his karate black belt from his new sensei and has his best day ever at work. Jim returns to Scranton to spend more quality time with Pam.
The Office is a fly-on-the-wall “docu-reality” parody about modern American office life. “The Office” delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott (Steve Carell) is a single, middle-aged man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary. With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees’ cool friend. He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and to look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prize possession is his “World’s Greatest Boss” mug — which he had to buy for himself.
The Office season 9, episode 21, “Livin the Dream,” airs May 2, at 9pm est on NBC. Spoiler video below:
