One of the few reasons left to watch TV.

If you are a fan of the show, then I don't need to expound on the reasons why you should watch the show. You know that after a rocky start, this show just gets better and each episode can be watched multiple times and it JUST GETS BETTER!

I have found that most who do not care for "The Office", 1) Have not actually watched the show. 2)Watched 10 min. without an open mind. 3) When compared to what other TV programs these folks watch? You will discover that they cannot watch a comedy without being directed by a laugh track for when they should laugh.

Too bad so many Americans have lost the ability to think for themselves.
