Default The Office

Anyone else love this show? Definitely a top 5 for me, right up there with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Workaholics. Something about these shows just really does it for me. I watch almost no TV, but I can sit and watch an entire season of these shows without blinking an eye. During slow hours at work I've decided to go back and rewatch The Office starting at episode 1. Now im nearing the end of season 2 and here are my thoughts.

1.) The show has a lot of moments where I am so embarassed for Michael that I want to look away.

2.) In the early seasons, Dwight and Michael have pretty much zero redeemable qualities as human beings, they literally are complete douchebags with zero empathy for anyone else.

Very interesting the way the show progresses into later seasons, unfortunately I think the show is losing its gusto in these later seasons as far as the feeling of 'continuing a series'. It's more a series of 'oh shit' surprises. Still funny moments though but not like seasons 1-5.
