The Office
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
There's a short list of shows that Sara and I never miss. NBC's The Office is the newest addition to that list. It's on Tuesdays at 9:30. You can read more about it at the official site and at TV Tome. It's based on a British sitcom of the same name. I haven't seen the original, but the American version is very funny. Steve Carell, former Daily Show correspondent, plays Michael Scott, the obliviously incompetent supervisor of an office of paper salesmen. He plays the part so that you can actually feel how uncomfortable it would be to work with him. The rest of the ensemble cast is excellent as well. There's some good talent behind the camera, too. Greg Daniels, creator, writer and executive producer, has worked on Seinfeld, The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Saturday Night Live. Give this show a try. The upcoming episode is the season finale, but they may be repeating the other episodes in the coming weeks. And if you already like the show, then you can go here and vote for it to prevent it from being canceled.

Yeah, I really like the American version, but I still love the BBC version more. As soon as I get my DVDs back from China I’ll lend it to you guys. Steve Carrell is very hilarious in it. One of the guys from the BBC version is starring in Hitchhiker’s Guide, which is one of the reasons I’m looking forward to seeing it.
Yeah, we just discoverd this show a couple weeks ago. It is literaly (and I don’t mean that figuratively) laugh out loud funny. If you’ve ever had a boss that was a jerk/doofus, you’ll love it.
i rarely watch a television show consistently and seeing that i dont have a tv that makes it even more difficult but this site: http://www.btefnet.net/ makes it easy for me to keep up on the new dr. who (highly recommended) and the office. the alliance and diversity day are my fav. episodes.
i like this show.
I haven’t been able to access your blog on my computer for some time, so I am just now catching up. I’m glad to see someone promoting The Office, as Kyle and I also love this show. We agree with Brendoman, though, that the BBC version is just slightly funnier. I don’t know what it is… maybe it’s just a little subtler.
On a related note, though, if you’re tuning in to watch The Office, why not turn the TV on a little earlier to watch Scrubs? I hated it when it first came out, but it has really grown on me. I think it’s quite clever, and after seeing Garden State I just want to get as much of Zach Braff as possible.
