Me & The Boob Tube, Part 3….
Another one of my favorite shows is The Office. I liked the British version and after the debacle that Coupling was when it was adapted, I was worried. I watched the first episode of The Office (US) and was disappointed. It was nearly word-for-word, a rewrite. But something happened…
It got better. Slowly, it separated itself from the British version and began to stand on its own. As the writers felt out the characters and really made them different from their UK counterparts, the show became funny. Now, it’s one of the first things we watch on the TiVo when it records.
The clip I’ve chosen is from a great episode. In this episode, Michael is calling into the office because he’s had an accident at home and needs help.

This series has only gotten better, episode after episode. Kudos to all those involved.

The best part of this episode is Dwight’s concussion and Jim spraying him with the bottle of water to keep him awake… oh hahaha, good times.
