The Office —
NBC's American version of The Office is easily my favorite TV show ever. I have all four seasons on DVD, and they have been watched and rewatched frequently even as other TV shows gather dust. I liked the original British version but the US take, despite a rough start in season one, has grown to become even more loveable, with a large cast of eccentric characters that make up the staff of a struggling paper company in the northeast. No one would ever wish a boss like Michael Scott (Steve Carrell, in a career-making performance) on their worst enemy, but it's great fun to watch him find new ways to humiliate himself every week (not that he usually notices). Office weirdo Dwight (Rainn Wilson) is the least realistic but most amusing character int he cast, and has gained depth through his recent breakup with buttoned-up accountant Angela. The romance between salesman Jim and receptionist Pam is a low point. What was once endearing has grown cloying over the years, and though the couple is now engaged their relationship seems more contrived than ever.It's sad to say, but I really look forward to new episodes of The Office on Thursday nights on NBC.
