I know it's not possible to please ALL the people ALL the time... but I still don't get where all the hate is coming from.
No, these aren't the 1976 muppets. And you didn't want them, even if you think you did. Go ahead, watch a few episodes on youtube. Been there, done that.
This 2015 reboot is brilliant (so far). They've preserved the kookiness and fun while spinning in a fresh direction. We're given plots that engage us and makes us care. If you come in with a fresh mind and let go of your expectations attached to a show from almost 40 years ago, you WILL be entertained.
The reality show / "the office" format does have a down side, though, in that this is not something timeless that we will care to view on youtube 30 years from now. This is entertainment for today. Enjoy the moment, people. This is really good stuff. They hit the nail on the head with balancing old and new, fun vs plot, kooky vs serious. I'd challenge all these naysaying armchair quarterbacks to even come close.
