The Office is an acquired taste. You can't get into it by just watching just one episode.




Or ten.

"Acquired taste" is really just a nice way of saying "bad show." People don't really come to like acquired tastes. Their senses just get dulled from repeated exposure to such consistent terribleness that eventually they begin to forget that they're still watching the same bad show they were when they started. It's really a defense mechanism.

And you're the same guy that hates "Everybody Hates Chris." Critics love it, what don't you like about "Everybody Hates Chris?" And how can you NOT like it? Don't you think Chris has enough people hating him already?

I like Chirs Rock (love it how hes a Bush basher) but his show is crap. The Office does way better than Everybody Hates Chris by the way, also Everybody Hates Chris is on UPN, the cheap network with crappy local stations, with crappy programming.

All current sitcoms are crap except for Earl. Period.

I thought "The Crumbs"? looked promising. Jane Curtin cracked me up.

Crumbs was really funny until the end when it became extremly sad

I agree about Earl...one of the best comedies to come along in years now...I think it is the best comedy on TV now except for Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I also agree about The Office...and the comedies that surround Earl. I tried to watch The Office probably 3-4 times...but the people are too obnoxious...they remind me of people who I would avoid so spending a half hour with them is too much to ask.

I've never been a Will and Grace Fan (though I do like Rosario)...and I have no opinion of The Four Kings except that it was a yawner. I think the greatest comedies of NBCs Must See TV were Mad About You, Frasier and Cheers (not sure if Taxi was ever part of their line up but if it was...I would add them to the list as well)

In other words, "Yes, Riff, I'm a hypocrite. Thank you for pointing this out to me."

This show is hysterical. It's like a Jeff Foxworthy bit come to TV.

I'm in agreement about 'The Office'. I tried to like it, but if I worked with these people I would have to quit and find another company to work for.

I haven't watched 'Four Kings' or 'Crumbs' or 'Emily's Reasons Why Not' yet, they're still sitting on my TiVo.
