    The Office- The Best

    I do not have a single negative thing to say about The Office. It is by far my favorite show. I eagerly await a new episode every week.

    All the unique characters have depth and are well developed.

    As to all the people who don't like it because its based on the U.K. version, get over it. It has been taken to a completely different level. The characters in a spin off are not supposed to stay the exact same, otherwise a spin off would be pointless.

    The characters are constantly evolving, and they are never constantly the protagonist or antagonist, so they are all at some point endearing. The characters are wonderfully bizarre yet real.

    If you don't find this show funny, then you need to get a funny bone. Writers, keep em coming.

    My favourite sitcom EVER!!

    Honestly, I thought show as 'boring' even before I watched a single episode. Seriously, what interesting could happen in an office environment? I remember first scene I saw from this show. It was from an internet wallpaper with Michael Scott with a white board behind him saying "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take".

    Then after years from that, I somehow started watching "The Office", I don't really remember why I did that. What I love most about this show is it's raw nature. The camera is kind of shaky yet still brings the best scenes...something that I had never seen before in a TV sitcom. It may seem less professional but adds real life, personal touch with the TV show and the characters in them.

    Obviously, Michael Scott is one of my favourite character. Jim, Andy, Dwight, Pam, Erin, Kevin, Oscar, Angela, Creed and even the camera crew include in my favourite list.

    What I learned from this show is that it's okay to be weird and different ,that you won't be welcomed as you wanted it to be ( remembering Michael Scott attempts ), that you can't wait and expect things to happen for you, that it's okay to be hated and feel hate to others....it's all dependent on time. People change, feelings change, situations change. All you got to do is be yourself and be true to your heart and everything will fall into it's place.

    I love every minute I spent on this show <3

    well what can i say really!!

    This show really is outstanding, in fact its the only show i think i can rate as a 10.

    From watching the original uk series back in 2001 on bbc TV, i never thought an American remake would stand any ground whatsoever. When the first series aired in the uk it did'nt really make its mark, and unfortunately never caught on. I was disappointed when it disappeared from our screens, and then quickly forgot about it. I thought it had 1 series and crashed and burned. Then one day i was checking out the reviews for evan almighty on IMDb and noticed that steve carel had still been making this show. I had to get hold of it and see it, And to my joy there was 5 series waiting for me. I never get into TV like i have done with this, i ended up watching 10 episodes in a day, i think i did all 5 series in just under 2 weeks. This show is funny, its acted brilliantly, its over the top, totally crazy but totally entertaining. If your ever down just bung on a couple episodes from good old dunder miflin in scranton and you cant go wrong.

    Gervais said that 2 series of the office in the uk was enough. And that he did'nt want to take it further. I know he helps on the US version, and i sure he is surprised to see 6 series already of what i can only describe as the best American sitcom of all time!!

    Easily one of the best shows of all time

    So much to relate too. All the characters, they all had their place, and they all nailed it. Maybe Micheal was a little bit too over the top at times, but your love to hate him is what made him such a good person for the role.

    The best part is I felt something of a personal attachment to some of the characters. Really rooting for some, but also rooting against other, and really loving to hate some of the quirky characters. And when the show is all said and done, you love them all. I miss them.

    Easily re-watchable. This is a classic. This one will be played out in VR I'm sure when were all plugged into some computer.

    The funniest TV show

    That is the best TV show I've ever watch. Recommend. The first 4-5 episodes are not so good, but then...omg. I've laugh through tears.

    • Quotes

      Michael Scott: [to Toby] This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell out of here.

    • Alternate versions
      The episodes that originally aired on NBC and that appear on the DVDs are slightly different from the versions that air in syndication and on Netflix. For example, when episodes like "Stress Relief" and "Niagara" along with most of the other two parters originally aired, they aired as one extended episode. Additionally, several episodes have certain plot-lines or scenes that would later disappear, these are the versions that appear on the DVDs. On Netflix however, many of these scenes and plot-lines are missing from episodes and many extended episodes like the aforementioned ones were split into two parters. On the flip-side, there are even some scenes that were cut from the initial airings and appear as deleted scenes on the DVDs that appear on the Netflix versions.
