By far the worst out of the three seasons. My favorite TV show but season three was no where near season two. I bought season two like the day it came out on DVD but i am refusing to buy this season

I find it highly interesting that Angela, the one Christian character on this show, is almost always portrayed in a negative light. I understand that Angela is a bit judgemental of those who do not share her faith. I know that rubs a lot of people the wrong way. But they do not have to make her out to be a total shrew.
Do I laugh at times while watching this often sleazy show? Of course, there are many clever and laugh-out-loud moments. I like laughing at male idiots as much as my neo-femme sisters out there (unite!). Michael Scott is a pathetic waste of life and Dwight Schrute is an even nerdier piece of garbage. But unfortunately the females aren’t really much better, suggesting an overall distain for humanity that isn’t very becoming of the show’s creative “talents.”
Take Kelly for instance – pathetically dependant upon the affection of Ryan (who doesn’t even like her, that rat!). She’s an airhead.
What about Jan Levinson? You must truly be kidding me if you think she represents a headstrong feminist presence. Her and Michael’s troubled romance is a joke, if you ask me. In this one rare instance, I actually do have some sympathy for the male – though Michael shouldn’t allow himself to be so used and taken advantage of.
I guess most women, especially the young and inexperienced among you, relate the most to Jenna Fischer’s Pam Beasley. Heaven help me, that woman is the worst of the bunch. Her artwork is beyond hopeless (and yes, I do know what I’m talking about thank you). And her idea of a career appears to be sitting behind a front desk and answering phones. How every fulfilling. Look, I may not have kids either (not yet anyway), but I have dealt with them for years. Parenting takes discipline, but it is one of the truest “labors of love” I know. Pam has neither the maturity nor the intelligence to even consider becoming a mother. Come to think of it, I believe only Stanley is a parent of all the people on the show. What a shame.
Watch it for what it does best: portraying the utter cluelessness of the men who run our society. But please don’t think about it too much – treat it like a no-brainer and you will laugh.

Some very long and heart-felt reviews on Amazon testify to the strong psychological hold this show has on many viewers. I find their obvious identification with the characters in this series to be interesting, amusing, yet somewhat sad. Its cliche time: but a lot of viewers of this show seemingly need to get a life. The show does not stand up to all the analysis and projection by the viewers. The show is very good only if you compare it to all the garbage that is on television. The actors who play Jim and Pam, and to a lesser degree Dwight, do a good job in their roles. Steve Carell just doesn’t have it as the office manager. His acting is shallow, repetitious and you always know he is “acting.” Actors playing “over the top” characters can succeed, but it is very difficult. Hugh Laurie, a superb actor, is able to make us believe in the “over the top” nasty, but genius doctor in House. I know I must seem condescending when I say that all the accolades given this series by viewers do not accurately evaluate this series, but do validate the low standards and expectations that most television viewers have.

I watched this show to see what all the fuss was about and I have to say it was dissapointing.
I didn’t think the jokes were very funny. The show is mostly yelling. Just because it is loud doesn’t mean it is funny.
Also. Why does the camera move around so much? It makes me dizzy.
I’d rather watch great TV comedies like Yes Dear or King of Queens which are shows that will be remembered as great TV comedies whereas this noisey drivel will fade into nothing.
I’m surprised it’s been on TV this long and yet great shows like Dharma and Greg and Everybody Loves Raymond are off the air.
What is the world coming to?

The Office is this awesome show about some cool, hip, good-looking people–Jim, Pam and Karen–who stick it to less attractive, socially awkward nerds. I LOVE watching this show because I know that Jim (who’s superawesome and funny and goodloking like me) is going to mock everyone because HE’S COOLER!!! He even SLAPS DWIGHT IN THE FACE UNPROVOKED at one point and I’m like “oh hells yeah, aweseom!” Cause some people think I’m a jerk for belting on nerds but just look at THE OFFICE: Nerds deserve to be made to feel small. Not being cool IS A CRIME and jim halpert is like JUDGE DREDGE of a little state called PENNSYLVANIA–ever heard of it?
Besides nerds getting their comeuppance, the other great thing about the office is CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP!!! A billion years ago it was uncool to take corporate sponsorships. Take a hike, GRAMPS, time for THE OFFICE to get paid. Corporations like HP and Microsoft and Staples are giant rich SUCCESSFUL corporations. GUess what else is rich and successful? Me!!! So no suprise Microsoft and I both support the Office.
Plus, corporate sponsorship means MORE REALISM!!! In real life people don’t say “Let’s go to Office Supply Store X”–nope, they say Staples or whatever. Ok, in the real world people might talk crap about Staples or Hooters or CHili’s and obviously you can’t do that to the people giving your show millions of dollars. But so what? Once you get big enough and powerful enough, IT’S ALL BUT AGAINST THE LAW TO CRITICIZE THEM IN PUBLIC!!! I’d like to be that big and rich some day. Sure the office is unrealistic in some ways like, I dunno, an office of 20 middle-aged people and only one of them (Stanley) is married. Or neither Dwight nor Jim having ever been to a strip club.
But are family dynamics and sexual desire the integral components of reality? Hell no! THE UNCRITICAL USE OF BRAND NAMES is what makes reality so sprite-drinking-inducingly REAL!! Guess what? This second of reality is brought to by Coca-Cola, BENEVOLENT CORPORATE OVERLORD!!
So if you like beating up nerds, REAL REALISM and big corporations, the office is for you and me!
