The Office TV Show is a fly-on-the-wall "docu-reality" parody about modern American office life, "The Office" delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott is a single, middle-aged man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary.
With unshaken enthusiasm, Michael believes he is the office funnyman, a fountain of business wisdom and his employees' cool friend. He has no clue that his employees tolerate his inappropriate behavior only because he signs their paychecks. Painstakingly trying to be liked and look cool, Michael comes off alternately absurd and pathetic. His prize possession is his "World's Greatest Boss" mug -- which he had to buy for himself.

Reviews of The Office TV Show
|
EW.com
The Office is TV's finest example of a full-blown Hobbesian state of nature (hey, you waste education your way...) — and, with lead-in My Name Is Earl, forms the most reliably funny hour in prime time. In The Office, in spite of a litany of rules, ''society'' is one layoff or pay cut away from bloody chaos.

Pop Matters
Remake. Few words arouse suspicion faster than this one. When the U.S. version of The Office first aired in March, many viewers compared it to the original BBC version created by and starring Ricky Gervais. A shot-by-shot remake of the British pilot, the first U.S. episode repeated the same jokes, setups, and camera angles, with "Americanized" dialogue.
