Please no.

Just move on to another thing. We don't need more of The Office. If you've got more stories to tell, just create a new sitcom and tell them there.

As long as Mindy isn't involved it might be ok.

Her last... Complete fucking disaster might suggest she has jumped the shark

I realize the cool thing is to ignorantly shit on Mindy Kaling for her involvement in that show and use it as an excuse to insist she’s talentless, but you do realize she was just an actor on Velma? No writing or directing credits. So does she really deserve to lose all goodwill from the office just because of that? Or are you just continuing the circlejerk?

Oh I stand corrected.

I legit thought it was her project, and she was the one who decided the direction etc.

She was executive producer. But I do agree that the reception of that series does not mean she's talentless. Her previous track record shows that she had talent.

I thought “executive producer” just meant they contributed money to the making of the project and they get the credit for it? I had always heard the show runners were the producers.
