The Office (US) Ten Year Anniversary


Announcement: Today it's going to be ten years to the day, since the first episode of the US version of the The Office aired. I'd like to maybe write something about it, something on what it is about it that I like so much. That it is funny, that it is real, that it is about humans, which is again why it is funny. What made it trap me some nine months ago, actually after it ended its original network runs, and keeps me personally re-running it up until today. Perhaps also to allow myself to nerd out about my favorite TV show; in fact, I already subtly did so at the start of this post. But for now, this post is just here as a, what-do-you-call-it, remembrance, I don't know the right word; or a pointer for anybody who didn't know it existed to find a copy and try watching it and see if he or she likes it. I can at least say that I am pretty sure that I am better off for finding it. And when I find the time, I'll try explaining why this is.
