\"wp_office_cast_1920\"<\/a>By Hannah Severson–\u00a0<\/strong>If you love witty, comical, and sometimes cringe-worthy embarrassment television, then The Office <\/i>(U.S.) <\/i>is for you.<\/p>\n

The American Office<\/i> is a spinoff from the UK version of The Office<\/i>. The show is shot like a documentary. It interviews all the characters and the cameras are incorporated into their daily lives at work.<\/p>\n

This is my all-time favorite show. The storylines of each character and how they all come together are a great aspect of the show. I also really loved how almost all the characters that started on the show from the beginning stayed until the end.<\/p>\n

I started to watch when one of my friends from high school would not stop talking about and recommending it, so I caved. I was hooked.<\/p>\n

The Office <\/i>is the kind of show where you don\u2019t need to watch every episode in a row. Each episode usually has a different scenario, but to understand the back-stories of the workers in the office, I recommend starting from the beginning.<\/p>\n

Michael Scott, the regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, Scranton, PA branch, is not your typical 40-something year old. He crosses all the lines too often and thinks he is the most hilarious person. Michael doesn\u2019t mean to, but most of the time he offends his fellow coworkers, which can get him into trouble. The character Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, was on the show for seven of the nine seasons.<\/p>\n

With iconic characters like Dwight Schrute, Jim Halpert, and Pam Beasley, you are sure to love everyone on the show for their quirks and all.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite scenes is actually from the pilot episode. Jim Halpert, the office prankster, puts Dwight Schrute\u2019s (the serious guy in the office), stapler in Jell-O. Michael Scott tries to resolve the issue but ends up making the entire thing into a bigger joke than it already is. I guess you would have to watch it to see what I am talking about.<\/p>\n

The Office <\/i>is sadly not making new episodes; it ended in May of 2013. But don\u2019t worry it is on Netflix and Hulu, which for a college student is a necessity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
