So this week I decided to watch The Office. I know most people are going to think I’m crazy; maybe it was because it was the pilot, but I just didn’t think it was as funny as it is claimed to be. Were there some funny parts that made me laugh? Absolutely. But I just didn’t think the particular episode that I watched was that great. I think that my experience with the show may prove to be better if I did watch more episodes than just one 22 minute episode. It also could be an acquired taste for me, where once I get a better feel for the show and the characters, I would like it more. The interaction between Dwight and Jim definitely seem to have potential to be very entertaining. In this episode, the viewer got a feel for their relationship, where Dwight seems to take everything very seriously, whereas Jim seems to be an instigator and tries to bug Dwight. Steve Carrell is always hilarious in anything I have ever seen him in, so I cant really fault that aspect of the show. I really cant seem to put my finger on why I didn’t really like the show, but I definitely don’t think that I’ll be running to buy more episodes on iTunes.
As a bonus this week, I was reminded of the following song because it incorporates the theme song from the office. Many of you have probably already heard it, but if you havent, give it a listen. Its a mashup called Office Muzik by Lil Wayne.

If you're going to give another episode a try, start with Season 3. I didn't start watching The Office until the 3rd season and that's when it drew me in. & now a huge fan of the show and having watched all the seasons, I'd say Season 3 & 5 are the better ones. (but all the seasons are great in my opinion haha) but the Jim/Dwight relationship is definitely a reason to watch.
