Rehired.īut through all that, we were alway on Michael's side. He closed on his condo for a terrible price. The way they did that was to have every story be 10% nicer to the character.
#THE OFFICE SCRIPT SEASON 1 SERIES#
As the series went on, the show did some amazing things to turn him into someone we cried about when he left. Michael was not loveable in the first season. Suddenly, we kind of wanted to work with Michael. Michael's evolution into someone with a different managing style allowed the US version of The Office to last longer than the original series' two seasons.
