The Office TV Show - The Office Television Show - Yahoo! TV

The American version of The Office, the huge BBC hit in the UK a few years ago, follows the same basic plot and character structure as the original, but with just enough twists and adjustments to make it interesting. I love Ricky Gervais in the original version of the show, but I understand that US audiences have a different comic sensibility.

The stories each week are witty, and, while not usually crack up out loud funny, they are clever and entertaining. I have moved up The Office on my tivo season pass into the top 10. The show has really grown on me.

The office is one of the funniest comedies Ive ever seen! Its akward comedy at its best! It puts meaning to the quote "Silence makes he best comedy!"
Wether its Dwight and the death of a cat, or Pam and the finer things club. You WILL be lauphing.

I saw a few episodes when this show first aired but it wasn't anything that intriguing. Just like many other shows that I liked, I figure they soon would go off the air and I may as well not even get into it.(Latest Victim, Day Break)

Earlier this year I bought Season 2 at Circuit City. It was mistaged and I got it $20 cheaper then regular price (Honestly, the only reason why I bought it). I watched the whole season in one day. Of course I took a few breaks. I took a shower, used the restroom, got some food, used the restroom, got more food, and, well, you get the Idea. (It was a Saturday and I have no kids.)

The next day I went to buy Season 1 and was a little disapointed that it didn't contain nearly as many episodes as season two but It was great none-the-less...


Just about every office environment that I worked in, had a few disfunctional people. That is why this show is so great. It takes all of the weird people and put them all in one space. They have a Boss that is completely incompitent (Michael Scott).
Although, in many episodes, he is a great salesman and gets very hard accounts signed up with him. I am sure they do this to clarify why he is still the boss.

You have the guy who plays practical jokes on unwilling characters.(Jim) You have the Brown noser. (Dwight). The Receptionist that basically holds the whole office together, especially having to treat Michael Scott like a kid.

I guess another reason why it is soo great, is that I can relate to most of the people on the show, Yes, Even Michael Scott...

Well, my boss just walked into my cube, so, SO LONG and WATCH THE OFFICE... THE ONLY SHOW I EVER MAKE TIME FOR!!!

The Office is outrageously funny! I've been watching since the pilot. You wouldn't typically think that an office would be hilarious. But it's brilliant! It's so real and if a camera followed me all the time, I wish it would be as funny as The Office. Definitely the best show on television!
