11 Reasons "The Office" Is Still The Best TV Show
Dina Gachman

" The Office" is unlike any other show on television. The pretend documentary only got funnier over time, growing into a timeless comedy that made viewers sad to see it go. However, this series is still the best TV show. This nine-year series will always have a special place in my heart, and this is why.

1. It’s quotable at any stage of life.

Those little moments that remind you of a scene from "The Office" never stop, and they never cease to make you laugh. You can always find a relatable or funny quote from the show.

2. Its characterization is perfection.

Each character is individually unique and comedic in his or her own way. There’s at least one episode that focuses on each character at one point in time.

3. It has style.

The show has a unique realistic style, as it takes the form of a documentary filming ordinary workers in an office building. The characters really play up to the style and increases the comedic effects.

4. Michael.

That’s about it. Michael. He’s a boss that makes absolutely no sense realistically, yet is so endearing and relatable at many points throughout the show. Just his character and personality alone can always make you laugh. From his embarrassing statements that he doesn’t think through, to his overdramatic character, he will always be a lovable character.

5. It never gets old.

The show is always full of surprises and will always be enjoyable to watch. The characters are never bland.

6. It’s the perfect show to watch after a bad day.

When you just need a good laugh or amusing show, "The Office" is the perfect show to watch. It will inevitably make you feel better.

7. Dwight.

Dwight alone represents the maximum craziness a character could hold. His strange antics are new to each episode. Not to mention he’s Michael’s right-hand man.

8. It’s not forcibly funny.

There’s no audience in the background fake laughing at the scene in front of them or forced jokes. It’s all subtle or natural, and the characters themselves are the humor.

9. The Jim and Dwight rivalry.

Every viewer’s favorite thing is when an episode opens up with another one of Jim’s pranks on Dwight.

10. Jim and Pam are pretty much goals.

They simply are the perfect example of two best friends trying to have fun at work and in life.

11. The story line.

The story line isn’t on a road to nowhere. There are conflicts, happy moments, funny moments, sad moments, outrageous moments, and totally relatable moments. There’s an ending to it all, and it makes the whole show worth it.

If you want a quality show that includes a spectrum of elements, like a German beet farmer, a relationship dying to get out of the friend-zone, an oblivious boss, and a small paper company in Scranton, Pennsylvania, then "The Office" is for you. You'll soon see why it is still so worthy of being called the best show ever.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
