The Office

Okay, it really doesn't need to be said, but The Office is the best show ever produced and everyone who watches it becomes a better person. Some people say that it isn't that great. They are stupid and have no idea what they're talking about. That or they watched it for the first time alone and had no idea what was going on or anyone there to prompt them when things were funny and they should laugh.

Once you're hooked, you're hooked for life, though.

I have seen almost every episode of The Office that is out and I am rapidly coming to the point where I will have seen them all. I have seen all of Seasons 1-3 and most of Seasons 4 and 5.

The Office, if you aren't aware (and if you aren't, make yourself aware) is about Dunder-Mifflin, a paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The stars are Michael Scott (Steve Carell), the Regional Manager of the Scranton branch, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the leading salesman for the branch, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), the funny and charismatic salesman and Pamela (Pam) Beasley (Jenna Fischer), the receptionist.

The Office is based on the premise that every activity in the Dunder-Mifflin office at Scranton is being filmed. The characters interact with the cameras watching (held by real people in the show) and give interviews to those cameramen about what is going on throughout the day. While I am not sure why the Scranton branch of a failing paper supply firm is being filmed, it is still funny.

This show is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who asked, and many who didn't.

Also, if you "like" John Madden (It's hard to express what I mean here. No one really 'likes' him, but anyway...) and know anything about Dungeons and Dragons then you should watch this. It's called John Madden: Dungeon Master.
