Is it just me, or is the US The Office... - GenericKen - 02-03-2006
I just watched the 2/2/06 US The Office, and I feel like climbing out onto my depression-era Oklahma barn and staring out across the ravaged American landscape.
I mean, it was quite beautiful storytelling, but it's a sitcom damnit!
Why do sitcoms do this when they know it's going to kill the show?
-The Office
-Futurama
-Scrubs (you know it's comin)
Hm, I could've sworn there were more. Did I miss any?

Do what?
I haven't seen The Office, but from the previews, I deduce that you are referring to its portrayal of a bleak, dismal human existence?
