I’ve always been a fan of the U.S. version of The Office, despite those loyalists who refuse to acknowledge it because they consider the British version vastly superior. But I’ve always stood by the show because it’s always made me laugh. The show is on its 9th and final season, and while I am upset to see it go, I think it’s for the best.

The show is told in a documentary-style, with the camera movements acting like a person walking around capturing each moment. It also features interviews with the different characters describing their interpretations of the events unfolding. It follows the events that unfold in a small town paper supplies office.

The show has propelled many of its actors to success on the silver screen, including Steve Carrell, John Krasinksi and Ed Helms. It has also seen many bosses, including Michael Scott (the true boss of the show), Andy and Deangelo Vickers, who was played by Will Ferrell and was an upsettingly unfunny character.

The show is so funny because of its ensemble cast, with many minor characters that usually steal the show with their one or two lines they speak per show (looking at you Creed). Together, these characters not only work together, but also make each other’s lives more interesting.

The show also has a lot of emotional baggage for me, as it was first introduced to me by my sister who I almost never get to see. So whenever I think of the show, I remember that day when she took me to the local Blockbuster Video Store (I’m old, alright?) and introduced me to this great TV show.

However, as much as I’m not looking forward to it leaving, I understand why. Frankly, the show just isn’t as funny as it used to be. Even the final seasons with Steve Carrell weren’t as funny, as they really wore out the humor of the character. In addition, the ratings are horrible, and hopefully the viewers will turn to other shows like Community once the show has ended.

If you’ve never seen an episode of The Office, I recommend seasons 1 through 6, as those were the episodes that brought the most laughs. While the show still has some comedy in it, it is running out quickly, and it’s good to see the show quit before it gets too stale.
