The Office Thread

I choose really not to compare the two shows. They each have their strong points. A lot of British humor is just that and it's hard for me to get right away through the accents and all. I'm more of a fan of the U.S. version. While the British Office pretty much ended with Dawn & Tim getting together, I don't think that will happen with the U.S. show. Who knows, they may not get together at the rate things are going now. Jim is in Standford now and I guess we'll have to see if he goes back to Scranton

If you've sworn off the U.S. version entirely, I highly recommend giving it a chance. It's hilarious in its own way and is really just a completely different show.

I absolutely love The Office.

My favorite quote so far is:
Dwight: You could have a brain aneurysm. You could be hit by a car or a train or a bus. You could be poisoned, fall in a well, step on a mine...
Michael: Okay, if I step on a mine in Scranton, Pennsylvania and die, you can have my job.

Dwight is by far my favorite character. He takes everything so seriously and Jim and Pam just love to mess with him.

I have to say, the fire episode was definitely one of my favorites. There were many great Dwight moments in that ep ("Question: Did my shoes come fall off when the plane crashed?").

And yes, I have gone to Chili's and ordered an "Awesome Blossom, extra awesome," just like Michael did in the ep where he moved the business meeting from the Radisson to Chili's.

That is one of my favorite quotes from the show so far It's hillarious, and so unexpected for Tim Meadows to make an appearance. I think Steve Carell is a great actor, he pulls off his character so well into just making you hate him but laugh at the same time.

If you can't see me, I have my right eyebrow raised above my hairline. This show is pretty funny. I hated it at first, but after lastnight's premiere I think I'll watch some more episodes in the future. NBC is really doing great on their new shows. I can't wait for Heroes though. Studio 60 was hilarious the other night, too.

That's a perfect example of why I sometimes have trouble watching The Office. It's great in all aspects, that you cannot understand how real it is until you work in an office. However, by originally being from the Scranton area, there are a LOT of hidden "jibes" at the city that make it tough to watch sometimes.
