The Office


Does anyone watch "The Office" on NBC? I'm curious because I'm hooked. It uses very dry, sutle humor in a cubicle environment.

IMDb says: "A remake of the hit 2001 BBC TV series The Office (2001), this is a mockumentary that documents the exploits of a paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Made up of head chief Michael Scott, a harmlessly deluded and ignorantly insensitive boss who cares about the welfare of his employees while trying to put his own spin on company policy. With an office including the likes of various peers who have their own hangups, The Office takes a look at the lives of it's co-workers: bored but talented salesman Jim, his mildly sociopathic, butt kissing enemy Dwight, mildly righteous receptionist Pam, and indifferent temp Ryan."

Steve Carell (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Bruce Almighty) is the boss of the office and believes he is very funny and very bright. One of my favorite comments from him is: "I am both a night owl and an early riser... This means I am both wise and I have worms."

I have never seen it and I can tell you that it's probably b/c I didn't like him in the 40 year old virgin - I didn't care for the movie. I'd probably enjoy the office humor/politics though.

FYI - Steve Carell was just nominated for an Emmy for his role in "The Office".
