The Office

My favorite show on the air right now is The Office. My roommate and I enjoy watching all the seasons. We have all of them on DVD and we watch each new episode Thursday nights on NBC. I find the show hilarious and if somebody does not like the show my general response is a disbelieving blank stare. I do however realize that the shows humor is not for everyone. It is a very dry humor, seeing as it is adapted from the original UK version of the show. The show however goes deeper than just humor. The characters have such a great chemistry with each other. The boss of Dunder-Mifflin Scranton branch is the affable nitwit Michael Scott, portrayed by Steve Carell. Michael Scott is a classic example of the Peter Principle, a good worker who is promoted high above his level of competency. He sees all of the characters at his place of employment as friends though he is generally regarded by his employees as a distraction. This coupled with the outrageously serious no-nonsense attitude of Dwight Schrute and the pranks and boring nature of Jim Halpert make for one hysterical show.
