The Office is pure comedic gold in television form A show that has only grown more beloved over time. As it celebrtes its 20-year anniversary, its charm, awkward humor, and unforgettable characters continue to bring endless laughter to fans old and new. There’s something magical about discussing Michael Scott’s ridiculous antics, Dwight’s bizarre but brilliant logic, or Jim’s perfectly executed pranks with coworkers—it’s the kind of show that makes any real-life office feel just a little more entertaining. Whether you’re reliving the cringe-worthy dinner party or debating the best cold open, The Office remains a show that brings people together through humor!
There was almost a tragedy in the Louzader house. I almost didn’t watch this show. I missed it during its original network run. Then, I finally got with the program, it couldn’t have come at a better time. I had just finished the deeply intense and emotional The Handmaid’s Tale and then attempted to watch Tiger King—which, after one episode of that chaotic disaster, sent me running in search of something SO MUCH better. Thankfully, I landed on The Office, and from the first awkward moments at Dunder Mifflin, I was hooked. Don Louzader TOO! The sheer joy this show brings is unmatched. I’ve probably watched each season at least three times, and it never gets old. No matter how many times you revisit it, it still feels like coming home to old friends.
PS … funny thing about this photo with John Krasinski … it was taken at The Critics Choice Awards in 2019 … I hadn’t watched The Office yet AT ALL! Thank goodness I wised up!
