Am I the last person on earth to jump on The Office bandwagon? Why didn't I listen to the few people whose taste I respect, when they told me how much they loved this mockumentary? Maybe because I didn't know what a mockumentary was or the fact that I dislike most sitcoms, I never got around to watching it, although I did put it on my bucket list. When I moved to the beach, I decided to see how long I could go without a television, since I hate most of the shows anyway. Of course, to me watching television means doing something at the same time, like reading or surfing the net, so the only thing my brain absorbs are the commercials.
Miraculously, I found out you can watch most shows on-line, sans commercials, for free. Sign me up. I started watching the Office and once I did, there was no turning back. I immediately became addicted and ended up viewing every single episode ever made, in two days time. I don't know how anyone who has ever worked in an office could not love this show. I can identify with everyone. The clueless boss who was promoted above his level of competence, disrespectful employees, the ass kisser, the slackers, the pranksters, the office romance and so on. How you have to spend most of your day with a few people you can't stand, and the lengths you go to make it tolerable.
I've never laughed so hard at any show and I am actually looking forward to the premiere of season 5 on September 25th. I may even go out and get a new TV for the occasion. What the hell, I may even throw a party. Now if only I could figure out how to get rid of the commercials. If you have never watched the Office, I suggest getting the DVD or if you're cheap like me, you can watch all the episodes here.
My husband and I love "the Office" :)
It's one of our favorite shows. We usually DVR the shows we like and watch them when the kids are asleep.
I can't wait for the premiere either!
