The Office



Cheryl pulled out the first season of the Office last night. Not talking about the NBC show here people. We're talking about the original BBC version. Chock full o' British humor at it's finest.

If you have never seen this show, you must do so. It may take you a while to understand the words coming out of their mouths and yes there is some rather crude humor from time to time, but this show is amazing.

The sitcom as we used to know it is dying away. People are going to have to come up with new ways to sell comedy. The Office does that. Shows like Arrested Development, Scrubs and Curb Your Enthusiasm are shows that are taking comedy in a new direction.

Just a disclaimer before you sit the kids down to watch any of the afformentioned shows... they are for big kids with a sense of humor. Don't watch any of them if you are easily offended.

So take a chance and pick up The Office from Netflix and get ready to laugh... once you figure out what they are saying.

We watched it together last night goofy! I didn't watch it again... I have been known to do that though.

I did not mention all my favorites... "The Job" was an amazing show. You can borrow that from me though... No Netflix needed.
