Wife and I have been revisiting The Office on Netflix the last few weeks. That was one funny program, laugh out loud funny, and so politically incorrect! I can't think of a sitcom today that would even come close to the quality of the writing back then.

One of my favorite shows of all time. It used to be on in late-night syndication around here, but it's been a year or two since that was the case… I miss seeing it each night.
By the way, I am assuming you're talking about the US version…?

U.S. version, yes sir. So non-PC it makes you cringe at times but boy is it good.

That's what she said! Michael Gary Scott is one of the most perfectly endearing you wanna punch in the face characters ever. Then Jim and Dwights ongoing feuds, just classic.

The Office would have been perfect if it ended when Michael Scott departed but they chose to limp on without him for 3-4 more years and it got progressively dumber and dumber.
IMO, Michael Scott WAS The Office, and without him it just lost its soul.

Best comedy show on TV. It’s interesting to see it now. So many of the jokes are no-go zones for today’s politics, but it was only a few years ago the country had a sense of humor!

Be sure to check out Parks & Recreation, which is available on Netflix as well.
Almost identical premise/style to The Office, with the same creators and some of the same writers, but I find Parks & Rec to be funnier. (The first season is a bit hit-or-miss, but they quickly find their stride.)

I did not watch it until after it was cancelled, and this is the exact reason why , I knew people , worked with them that that were like those characters

been wanting to re-watch that, it's painful watching the first season, Michael Scott is so dumb. But it's all gold after a bit. Love watching the blooper reels on youtube too
