Eh. Michael was Dwight's first manager, and the repeated failure to win his respect or a promotion of any kind despite his work ethic wore him down over their time together. By the time manager #2 comes along, Dwight is a lot more experienced and jaded.
I never understood why so many fans of this show didn’t like Robert California. I guess it’s tough to replace Michael. But in a lot of ways the character was just as good.
No way. Michael made you feel something. Love and hate him at the same time. This guy didn’t make sense. He just spoke down to everyone in a weird voice. Very strange
What I love about this is we now know everybody about Robert California. This is like the charactors back story, like when Erin did the impression it showed that California had a sense of humor about himself while everyone was always scared of him. This is amazing, I wish they would do something like this for every minor charactor in a hit show.
I hope someone can someday track down the 'Halloween ' episode when Robert California narrates a speech about how much we let fear control out lives. It was one of the most brilliant things I have heard.

Though Michael Scott IS missed, Robert California is my favorite character, besides Stanley on the show. Spader really brought a different flavor to a show that was in some ways suffering post- Carell
I really liked his character too. Also, my favourite scene of the whole series was at California's party and Gabe and Ryan dancing to the bitter end for Robert to notice their commitment.
tbh i think if some of those scenes were left in the final cut people might like this character a bit more. there is some very good stuff in there, a couple of scenes that make robert look almost like a human being instead of a lizard

Let's be honest everyone, USA is not the only American country. Not even the only ones who are a bunch of States United in North America (Mexico is another great example). We are just arrogant self centered douches who wanna think we're the only Americans in the world even tho we stole cultural staples from Latin America, Africans, Carribeans and Europeans. We're not all of America, we're a small part of it and I wish we'd stop referring to USA exclusively as "America" when americana stretches from the top of the Yukon all the way down to Tierra Del Fuego.
You know, if someone doesn’t want to click the bell icon, adding an annoying “DING!” sound effect won’t change their mind. Adding _multiple_ annoying ding sounds _definitely_ won’t.
Apparently spader made the cast uncomfortable with his character taking it in a cringe tense dorection. I absolutely loved robert California. It made the show 3x funnier w him in it w his overly sexualized character lmao
His character made for hilarious body language among Pam and Jim. Pam cringing away and Jim looking alert, concerned, and ready to move Pam away from California. 😹😹
I always thought it would be cool if they combined Robert California and Ray Reddington into the same character. James Spader is practically the same in both lol
True, for me it was how he set everyone up (esp driving Erin Home knowing he will be followed?) and then his Epic House episode lol his wife’s job was funny in a human way. 2nd best character next to Michael, HAIL THE LIZARD KING!!!
The way he cracks up at Erin's impression is priceless.😂 I really wanted there to be a cut away to robert after talking to Todd with Robert saying, "I really LOVE Game of Thrones as it is the antithesis and epitome of modern culture and the divide that happens when power is the subject of everyone's ambition. I just didn't want to talk about it with that guy... Too Varys-ee, if you get my meaning. No? Well, would you prefer a sexual metaphor or a metaphor about amphibians?... Amphibians, wonderful!

He was def one of those characters that wasn’t appreciated during the shows original run, office fans usually re watch these episodes religiously so it’s very easy to start to appreciate Robert on the 4th or 5th watch.
Erin’s impression of Robert looked more like Ellie Kemper’s impression of Robert. Hilarious, but not in character for her. I can see why they cut that one.

Robert and deangelo's character made me realise dwight respected michael not just coz he was his manager
Eh. Michael was Dwight's first manager, and the repeated failure to win his respect or a promotion of any kind despite his work ethic wore him down over their time together. By the time manager #2 comes along, Dwight is a lot more experienced and jaded.
I'd also like to point out that Micheal was a very good salesman, and Dwight respected that a lot

No way. Michael made you feel something. Love and hate him at the same time. This guy didn’t make sense. He just spoke down to everyone in a weird voice. Very strange
Loved them equally! Roberts short run was perfect tho.
He was an elitist. You haven't worked with the grownups until you've worked for one.
Cuz it was a dumb revolving door character.
Michael is the shows greatest character. Robert barely makes the top 20.
Kids don't understand the genius of Robert California.... including him in the series was a great move
Erin's impersonation of Robert was fantastic. Should of left that in.
