WOULD 'THE OFFICE' BE CANCELED IN 2025? I don't think we could do the office in this day and age. The reason the show works is because Michael Scott is a total buffoon who says the most outrageous things without realizing it. So you forgive him because you also love him at the same time. But if we're in a kind of a culture where Sydney Sweeney is doing a jeans ad and makes a pun about jeans and jeans and then is pilloried for like, white supremacy... Nowadays, I don't know that would fly.
