More than a decade later, the American Remake has survived the "office" The upcoming spin-off About one middle-ways newspaper set up in the world of the show and features (at least) Oscar Nunez as his character from Dander-Miflin Skranton. Add to that "Office Ladies" podcast, hosted by Enena Fisher and Angela Kinsey, and the idea for people within the show who prefer episodes make a lot of sense. Although some people may debate the quality of the last two seasons of the show, at least it is safe to say that when Steve Karel left Almost the end of his seventh season to continue his film career and leave the role of Michael Scott's Starwar behind, the show has changed a lot.

Karel, as you can expect, has a personal favorite episode of his tenure show as head of paper. The episode in question, "Christmas on Benihana" is a noticeable installment for many reasons, not only is the fact that it is more than slightly controversial nearly twenty years since it aired on NBC. Moreover, the episode boasted a pretty amazing director behind the camera and also marked the first for the show and its long -term future.

Sometimes there was time that the "office" seemed to be a failure. It's hard to believe if you haven't lived through the show starting since the spring of 2005, but that's true. The first episode, in particular, was not well accepted by the audience or critics; Although the American show on the show Greg Daniels was trying to respect the British series by essentially copying the word in the cockpit episode, the style of the field-black humor from British creators Ricky Gervais and Steven trader was not well translated by Michael. A number of external factors have helped change the trajectory of the show, from the hit "40-year-old virgin", which arrived in the cinema between the first and second season of the show and helped the audience accept Karel in a more beautiful role, until the arrival of video iPods, one of which was the first.

Benihana's "Christmas" was the second Christmas episode for the "Office", and that is significant for several reasons. First, the episode was directed by the former icon of Ghostbuster and Comedy Harold Ramis; And secondly, it was the first hour installment of the series. They both talk about how fast the "office" turned around her own happiness, from Flop from Downbust to Hit with the pleasure of the crowd (to the point that the second season won the best series of Comedy Emmy). And Benihana's "Christmas" is more than a glossy episode with a big name director, but a key driver in the show's image.

When the episode begins, Michael is ready to bring his girlfriend Realtor Carol (wife in the real life of Karel, Nancy Karel) on the beaches in Jamaica, only to fall apart with him because she is too insensitive. He soon drags Jimim Halpert, Dwight Strout and Andy Bernard to the famous Benihana restaurant chain for an extended business lunch, leading to him and Andy to return two waiters as their dates. But since Michael is Michael, he doesn't realize a) that the waitresses he and Andy brought to the office are no The waitresses who served them and b) who of the waitresses is "his" date, making him denote one of them to help him. For Michael, the episode ends with him, at a whim, inviting his boss Jan (Melora Hardin) to the beach and shocked that he agrees, starting a ridiculous romance for both over the next few seasons.

The latest bitch that descends, an awkward, yet funny moment in which Michael must mark his date because he cannot tell the two waitresses because of their nationality, which is why Karel loves the episode so much. As the Actors Guild Foundation shared in 2015 Interview (Approximately 56 minutes in the wider retrospective of his filmography), when asked about what his favorite episode is and why Karel noticed "the most ugliest job", referring to Michael marking his date. The "office", even once became more popular, advanced with humor of cracking, because in the infamous episode "Scott Totts", where Michael must reveal to teenagers that the promise he made to them as young children to pay for the path of college is the one to break. So it follows that one of the separation here for Karel would not be a more hearty episode, but something with a little more advantage and bite for it. It also says that Carl follows his comment on "Christmas on Benihana" with an explanation of the "specific ability" that the actors had to interact with the documentary-documentary pitch, talking to How carefully The show built that aspect of the show for nearly a decade.

After nine seasons and 201 episodes, the "Office" continues to have a huge audience. Not only are the nine-nine-nine net shows like "St. Dennis Medical" or "Supererstvednik", but offered something for almost everyone. For Karel and other fans, what can withstand the test of time are more unpleasant moments or episodes, rather than sweet moments with characters like Jimim and Pam. In addition, getting a chance to work with a comedy legend will also set aside most fans of the genre, so it makes sense that "Christmas on Benihana", although there is a moment that probably couldn't pass the smell test today, if it was part of a Network TV, is a favorite.
