It took time for me to get into The Office. Years, in fact. I had heard all the hype about how great it was ever since it first began airing in 2005, and I had tried to take in the occasional episode. … more
Although I love the Office, I don't think the US version ever captured the real magic of the original UK version. I know they were never meant to be copies of each other, but there was a unique, dry, … more
