Due to Youtube regulations, we can only show a 5 second clip of each show before those PINHEADS shut us down. Thankfully, our video team has picked some of the most meaningful 5 second moments in each show's history.

Mark Riddles:

Grass is green, the sky is blue, and there is no way in hell this show is better than the UK show. You've heard it all before. I know this. Yet the thing about remaking The Office is that it was basically trying to remake a horror movie. That being said, it is worth watching for the peripheral characters. They do a fantastic job and always seem to outshine the headliners of that show, and not in a Steve Urkel or Jimmy Jay Jay Walker kind of way either.

I've taken a Writing for Television class where we had to write a half-hour spec script for a show that was currently on that year. In a class of twelve, SEVEN did The Office. We had to do a read- through of one of them. The premise: Michael has an American Idol contest and makes all the employees compete. There was no story structure at all. It was just one employee after another coming in and singing a song poorly while Steve Carrell makes fun of them in a British accent. That was the whole script. When the teacher suggested that he should have a b-plot at the very least, he remarked, "eh, I throw in some Jim and Pam crap," and smiled like an arrogant jerk.

So look out for the American Idol episode of Two and a Half Men.

Jixby Phillips (ranked it 15):

Did I really rank this one lower than the British Office? It really needs to be much, MUCH lower. Did I make this list during Season 2 or something? Sheesh!

Look, I like this show a lot. But it’s sorta lame, right? Can we all admit that? I once broke down the Seasons like this:

Season One: Hey... this isn’t so bad!
Season Two: Holy Cow, this show is hella wonderful!
Season Three: Hey at least it’s better than Season 3!
Season Four: Weird choices and circumstances made this Season not that good!

(as of this writing, Season Five is in progress.)

I post at a forum where people get MAD MAD MAD at this show. I think it’s silly. Really, this show is worth getting worked up about? Remember when Steve Carrell drove into a lake? Everyone flipped their fucking lids. As a person who fights the urge to drive into a lake every day, I didn’t think it was SO unrealistic.

It’s a good show if you don’t let it all the way into your heart. I got into it just because I had gone on yet another Office U.K. kick and I decided to give the American version another shot. I just wanted there to be more Office. I had seen the pilot on TV previously and was really disappointed by it, because I like Steve Carrell and I like Greg Daniels track record. So I rented Season one and two and for a brief moment in time I REALLY loved it.

There are good character-driven jokes on this show, and I like that kind of comedy. And I actually like the atmosphere. I’d love to work in the actual office in the show. It’s nice and comforting. But the characters will never make me feel anything, ever. I almost cared about Jim and Pam in season 2, which is easily the best season of the show. But when they kissed I just didn’t give a shit.

	Frances Mildred Gertrude “Frandma” Prescott: I can’t stand all these raunchy reality shows where nobody can watch their mouths. This seemed like a nice documentary show but I heard a few too many sensational, sleazy, sassy lines. Thanks but no thanks... I'm going to Heaven when I die.

EMERGENCY FAN FICTION FEATURE

Somebody who was a fan of our fan fiction excerpts sent us a sneak peek of their Office fan fiction called “Creed’s Show.” We will put up a link when it’s finished, but in the meantime here's that sneak peek:

CREEDS SHOW: A FANFICTON BY SOMERSAULTFAN1989

SYNOPSIS: Creed does a somersault out of a garbage can and continues to somersault down the street and into a bus (right on time). He continues to somersault up and down the aisle until he gets to work. When the coast is no longer clear (Dwight's lurking around securing the perimeter) Creed stands up and walks like a man, he can't have anyone know

RATED: X for hate speech (my personal views) and also because it's revealed creed is sucking his dick the entire time just like me

PLEASE EMAIL ME TO FIND OUT ABOUT THE STATUS OF THIS FAN FICTION AMONG OTHERS

WHERE TO WATCH THE OFFICE

It's on NBC Thursday Nights. And it's all over TBS. And you can get them on DVD. There's all kinds of deleted scenes and stuff that make it all worth it.
