"The Office"

“The Office” is a TV sitcom based off of a British show by the same name. It documents the daily lives and routines of typical office workers as their personalities clash and they wade through the antics of their boss.

The cast is led by funny man Steve Carrell who is the Regional Manager for Dunder Mifflin Paper Company and an ultra motivating yet strangely awkward boss. The show is set up as a documentary, with no attempt of ignoring the camera, while chronicling the tedious time wasters each character employs to get through the day and simultaneously aggravating each other.

By mocking the typical antics and situations of a standard working environment while targeting the overzealous under-qualified boss, “The Office” reaches out to anyone who has spent time in this setting. Despite being a nearly complete copy of the British version, this NBC sitcom is a real hit and truly deserves its Golden Globe Award.
