The Office


This show is freaking hilarious. This is the kind of funny you have to think about and notice the small things. Ricky Gervais is a legend. He plays David Brent (the boss), and he does a such a good job of making the audience cringe with embarrassment. Mackenzie Crook (Gareth) leaves the office with awkward laughter. Poor Tim (Martin Freeman) and Dawn (Lucy Davis) don't have right timing. I love everything about this office and I love both seasons and the Christmas special. I love the Christmas special the most.

This US version is also knee-slappingly funny. It's more slap stick, but it's great. Dwight is amazing and Jim and Pam also do not have the right timing. I almost wrote this show off because the first season was almost verbatim to the first series of the UK version, but finally left the nest in season 2. The show still follows a blurred guidline from the UK version in all the major changes, but has a mind of its own.

I'm guessing the fourth season of The Office (US) is going to be the last because they can't drag out the Jam relationship for too long without the show going stale. I can't wait until Jan leaves the show. She was okay as Michael's boss, but when she became a psycho sex freak she weirded me out. Her character needs to leave. It's bitter sweet that Ryan left; I never really liked him much, but he was funny. I can't wait for the season premier... even though I won't be here... thank God for the internet.

The family is leaving tomorrow.... I'm looking forward to the silence.
