PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"The Office is the best show on TV" |
LAST EDITED ON 10-01-06 AT 01:06 AM (EST)I had seen "The Office" on a handfull of occasions prior to breaking down and buying the Season Two DVD a few weeks ago. As much as I had enjoyed it in small doses, the show really shines in marathon viewing sessions. I took in every episode in less than 4 days, and this is with a full work schedule. Anyone who thinks the sitcom is a dead genre hasn't seen this show. Reasons why I love this show: Steve Carell-Everything this guy touches turns to comedic gold. His spots on "The Daily Show" were among the shows best. "The 40-Year Old Virgin" was brilliant. But nothing tops his performance as the egotistical, clueless, and unhip Michael Scott. When Michael visits NYC for a business meeting and proclaims that SBarro's is his favorite local pizza eatery, I nearly doubled over in laughter. Best Foursome since "Seinfeld"-Remember when "Seinfeld" was in it's prime and there was absolutely no letdown when the story switched from Jerry to George to Kramer to Elaine? The same can be said with Michael, Dwight, Pam and Jim. Each one brings something completely unique and funny to the table. There's no letup in laughs when the story veers from one character to another. Secondary Characters-"The Office" takes a cue from "The Simpsons" and delivers on sidestories for the supporting cast. Angela's affair with Dwight, Ryan's not so great office "romance", and Toby's schooling Michael on the proper way to handle workplace complaints have all yielded huge laughs. Jim and Pam-That Sam and Diane romance was kid's play next to Jim and Pam's trials. This is the only show that can double you over with laughter and then hit you over the head with a welcome stab of romantic drama. Jim's confession to Pam in season two's cliff hanger was sad and profound, just the way an unwanted confession should be. John Krasinski is a true find. I actually look forward to this show more than I do "The Simpsons". And that's saying a lot.

7. "RE: Future Dwight" |
Future Dwight was hilarious. Only he would believe something like that. And yes, it will be interesting when he finds out Jim will be Michael's right hand and not him.

5. "you need to see the BBC version" |
You are right, this show is amazing. But you really need to see the BBC version since its even better...and has a much better cast as hard as that is to believe.The first season of the Office was basically just a copy of the BBC version rigth down to using the same lines. And the BBC version was much much better. But in the second season the American verion really took off and started to find its own legs to stand on (might have something to do with the fact that the BBC version only ran for 12 episodes so there was nothign left to copy after season 1) >I actually look forward to this >show more than I do >"The Simpsons". And that's saying >a lot. Not really. The Simpsons has been garbage for a couple years now. I actually have stopped watching it which is something I thought would never happen in my life.

8. "RE: you need to see the BBC version" |
But you really need to see the BBC version since its even better...I was wondering how this version compared to the original, which I thought was fantastic, so I appreciate your input on this as I have not yet seen the American version. Shame the original only lasted two seasons (special edition notwithstanding), as it was comedy at its absolute best. For those who have not yet seen the British version, I would urge you to view it - and in turn, I will make an effort to view the US version which I understand is excellent.

10. "RE: you need to see the BBC version" |
I appreciate the heads up, but it sounds like it will be well worth checking it out. Ricky Gervaise (who btw is a producer of the American version). I did not know that - that alone may be the reason I need to check the American version out - Ricky Gervaise is genius! Thanks. A birthday present from Tribe

I love The Office cast except for one character.Karen ("the other woman"), played by Rashida Jones, is boring. She is the weakest cast member. Besides, Jim and Pam belong together.

14. "Will Success Spoil "The Office?"" |
I hope success will not spoil "The Office."I can't say that I was impressed by the last two episodes: Jan & Michael's dinner party, and "boys night out" (w/Ryan). Didn't get many laughs from either episode. I realize that some shows "jump the shark", but I'd hate to see "Office" go this way.

21. "RE: Having a great season " |
I loved it as well. OMH. Especially Phyllis blurting out Angela's secret. I kept waiting for Dwight to say something abou them being married.My sound got all screwed up, and I had to watch it on the computer. DS and I just watched the Yankee Swap episode which aired on TBS this month. He suggested his class do it for their party today. Tis the season.
