The Office: Garden Party (2011)
Season 8, Episode 4
4/10
Yet another Andy plot hole
13 January 2020
Andy's backstory changed as Ed Helms' career shot upward after "The Hangover". Thus, the need to make him a more major figure in the show resulted in changes to his character's backstory. We can all understand that. His parents were re-cast, his father's first name changed, and the number of his siblings varied. (He had "brothers" in the "PDA" episode and a sister, whose field hockey skirt he tried to pass off as a kilt, in "St. Patrick's Day".)

But, in this episode, he introduced his parents as his first bosses to Robert California, Mom and Dad? According to a prior episode, "Secretary's Day," Andy is appreciative of secretary's day because that's why he has a step-mom...?

To quote Kelly Kapoor from the "Glee" episode, "Honestly... that show...". That's where I'm at with this show. Love it. But the writing and plot continuity gets lazier and lazier upon further examinations.
