The Office?
Yeah, I just don't get it. I'm trying to get it, but I need a little help.
Granted, I've only watched a few minutes of a few different episodes, but it looks like a documentary or like my son used a camcorder to record it.
I am a Seinfeld nut, as noted many times before. But Seinfeld is over, long over. I never watched it when it was actually on prime time television, but have watched the dvd's again and again. Jonah and Gable even put their money together at Christmas to get the Seinfeld Scene It Game for me.
I need a new show, and several people have compared the Office to Seinfeld. Many have encouraged me on my journey to find a new funny, laugh-out-loud, classic television program.
Maybe I have the shows mixed up. Maybe it's not The Office. Whatever the case, I need a new show, a new fix. It can be new or dvd, but I want funny, I want light. I want Kramer and Jerry and memorable lines.
So I ask the oh, so important question...what would you suggest?

The Office is the 1# funniest show on tv right now. I also enjoy the New Adventures of Old Christine. Since your a huge Seinfeld fan than the main character should spark your interest.
The Office is hysterical. If you're having a hard time getting into it, try watching it from the beginning on DVD.
I agree with Dan that the New Adventures of Old Christine is good. So is How I Met Your Mother. It took me a while to warm up to both of these, but I really like them now.
Good idea about watching The Office dvds from the beginning.
Is New Adventures of Old Christine on regular television?
Dan -- you didn't mention one of your favorite shows -- I-Carly!
Melanie! You must watch The Office dvds from the beginning! A lot of why it is so funny is because you get to know the characters, their quirks and the subtle on-going story lines with each individual character. I loved, loved, loved Seinfeld too and I love The Office more! I also like Old Christine, How I Met Your Mother and 30Rock but The Office is the only show that I can't miss! Old Christine is on regular TV (CBS) but I haven't watched it this year because its on at 8pm and I usually can't watch tv before 9pm. My other love is "24".
I have the first two seasons of The Office on dvd -- viewing party at my house! Or we should get Jim to put it on the big screen at church -- adult movie night! Let me re-phrase that -- Grown-up movie night!
Fran-
Ha! Adult movie night!
my name is earl. thursdays 8pm. goofy, goofy humor.
The Big Bang Theory is pretty funny too. I'm not a sitcom person but I do like The Office:) Not everyone likes that kind of humor though.
Yes, the office! But from the beginning. I was late in joining it as well- we rented the DVDs from the library and caught up. Now I am as addicted as everyone else. It is the ONE show we watch. We tape a couple weeks worth and watch it on party night.
Don't watch any more new ones until you start from scratch or it might ruin it (if it hasn't already). All of your brilliant friends watch it so it must be brilliant.
