The Office - The Complete Collection BBC Edition (First And Second Series Plus Special) description
It feels both inaccurate and inadequate to describe The Office as a comedy. On a superficial level, it disdains all the conventions of television sitcoms: there are no punch lines, no jokes, no laugh tracks, and no cute happy endings.

♥♥♥♥♥ Addictive
Positively addictive. I'm watching the BBC version. I haven't seen the US version. I have no idea why it's necessary. Please tell me Americans aren't too stupid to watch series from the BBC. I'm American.

I've just watched the Complete Series One, the Complete Series Two, and the movie. I've always loved great writing, which could be why I've spent so much of my life trying to create a bit. But I do have a soft spot for great writing combined with great acting, and The Office most certainly has that combination.

To call this comedy is like calling M*A*S*H or Barney Miller comedy. Accurate, since we're talking about 30-minute series that are quite funny, but incomplete. In the case of The Office, we have no laugh track, and a grittiness that I finally realized looks a bit like Homicide: Life On The Streets. The end result is laughing when you feel very uncomfortable doing it, which was pretty much how I felt every time I worked in an office.
