Sabre's CEO tells Michael and Jim that one of them must take a step down and go back to sales.
Based on the popular British series of the same name, this faster-paced American version follows the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic office employees at paper company Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch via a documentary film crew's cameras. Regional manager Michael (Steve Carell)… More thinks he's the coolest, funniest, best boss ever - which, of course, makes him the uncoolest, most obnoxious and annoying boss as far as his staff are concerned. Salesman Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) has always loved receptionist Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and loves sabotaging his cube-mate, the know-it-all Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson). Ryan Howard (B.J. Novak) started as a young, smart, self-possessed temp, but quickly figured out the real office politics despite Michael's attempts to instill the official point-of-view, and gets himself a job at corporate HQ in New York. The staff is rounded out by quiet Phyllis Lapin Vance (Phyllis Smith), beaten down by the working life Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker), office alcoholic Meredith Palmer (Kate Flannery), up-tight Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey), formerly closeted homosexual Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez), stocky and uncouth Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner), ambivalent kleptomaniac Creed Bratton (Creed Bratton), Sad Sack HR rep Toby Flenderson (Paul Lieberstein), persistently love-struck Kelly Kapoor (Mindy Kaling), icy corporate manager turned Michael's girlfriend Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin), former Stamford branch denizen and Cornell graduate Andy Bernard (Ed Helms), warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin (Craig Robinson), and Pam's ex-fiancé Roy Anderson (David Denman).

I wish we could see the British version hide show
I have tried to watch'The Office" several times but alas, withing three to four minutes I am apt to change the channel.Why? because this show still makes me scratch my head every time I try to understand it. It behoves me to try to figure out who actually watches this sitcom day in and day out.There is no intelligence in here.it seems like it's really an "Ode to Stupidity? If so, by my word, let it be so. What I cannot fathom is how down and stupid it gets most of the time.It basically does not bring anything new to the table.It keeps repeating the motions of all these characters who are true to their form without allowing them to grow and learn.
I think I will stop trying to understand this show altogether.
My Favorite show on television! Spoilers! hide show
I've been watching this show since i was in 5th grade. It kinda relates to school life in a way. It is certain it relates to everyday life at an office. Jim and Pam's romance is good chemistry say what you may how annoying they are (I personally dont think that). This season brings kind of the same comedy we saw in season 2-3, with a little flair of its own. Dunder Mifflin is going bankrupt, and they do it an a believable way, with today's day and age. If your looking for a show with witty humor and dont wanna watch CSI on thursday, this is definetely a must see.
A funny show that makes me laugh out loud in every episode. However, it does need a little more character development. hide show
The Office is a really funny TV show based on the day-to-day adventures of the office workers at Dunder Mifflin. The opening theme is catchy and cheerful, which is something I like. But during the show, you notice that Dwight is the unique character. Everyone else acts pretty much the same. Apart from Kevin(a little) and Michael(the boss, so he should be important) there isn't much character development between the other characters. Half of the things that make me laugh in the episodes is Dwight being crazy or Kevin being crazy. When you first see the show, The Office may look like it has a boring setting with your average middle-class workers. Instead, it takes average people and your average office building and makes an experience at work a lot more funny.
Obviously not looking for anything positive here... hide show
Often I am stuck with The Office on our T.V. as my husband likes it, and because I love him, I put up with it. Not to long ago, there was an episode about Michael dating Pam's mom, "an older woman". It was highly insulting to those of us that do have younger relationships that just so happen to work! The show is one of the worse parts of our society and amazing enough, people in this day and age think stupid is funny. Sadly - the way they are in this show, hits way too close to home nowadays and that is the part that is hard to see. No thankS. Funny can come in other ways... My integrity can not be a part of it, good thing there is an off switch.
The Office is one of the best shows on television hide show
Based on the original UK version, The Office puts together a fantastic cast that delivers a performance that speaks to the heart of anyone who has worked in any familiar situations, and even ones that don't. This TV series combines so many elements of comedy into one seamless stream of epic hilarity that missing it is a huge mistake. You know a TV show is truly incredible when it can make you feel emotional for the characters in it. It has the uncanny ability to make you feel so many different emotions in one episode that it should be used as therapy! I don't know about you, but there aren't many shows that are capable of doing this.
Please, if you are one of those people (like me) who are skeptical about most of the TV shows out there today, do yourself a favor and don't miss this one!!!
