The Office- Best Sitcom Ever?

THe Office isn't even funny...

Arrested Development & Seinfeld >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that crap

english Office > American Office.

And no, it isn;t the best sitcom ever.

Peep Show and Arrested Devlopment tie that award.

Simpsons>All Other Shows, even though it's animated.rockguy92

Nah. That's not true in a universal sense. If you want a serious theme in your programming, a comedy-oriented program won't cut it. And for more than a decade, Simpsons really hasn't been funny. It has its moments, but they are flashes in the pan - nothing like the earlier episodes, which presented one moment of hilarity after another.

I haven't seen much of it, but what I did see didn't really drag me in. I still prefer Frasier. But then, I barely ever watch TV programs, so what do I know?pianist

The problem with Frasier is that it doesn't 'hook' new viewers very well. You come to appreciate it over time, but because its plotlines and characters are rather complicated, and because these are not characters to whom an average viewer will relate, most people won't enjoy it at first.

Friends and Seinfeld became wildly popular because their characters were 'everyday Joes.' In fact, if you look back at all the most popular TV shows in history, you'll find that they all share a common theme - characters that mirror the majority. It's easy for me to find a music joke humourous, but tell it to someone who has never seen a note in his whole life, and he won't find it funny.
