Is it just me, or is the US The Office...
#1
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?
Great truths are worth repeating:

"It is better to live in the corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman." -Proverbs 21:9

"It is better to live in the corner of a roof
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman." -Proverbs 25:24

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?
