The Office

I don't have broadcast television. I don't have cable, dish, comcast, or even an antennae. I get my entertainment from rentals, video games, books, and the intrawabz.

My brother discovered "Hulu" a couple of months back. It's pretty neat. You've probably heard of it, you get to watch TV shows on the web. If not,

check it out. So anyway. I've mostly used it to watch Family Guy, which is pretty much the only show I miss from TV. I'd probably watch some of South Park too if I had TV, but mostly Family Guy.

At school, I hear everyone talking about the Office. Everyone says it's their favorite show, and they make it sound like it's a laughter fountain.

So, today, I watched it on Hulu, and I'm sitting here going, "What the hell?"

I've watched two episodes, and between them, I've had two instances where I've physically laughed out loud. The show is faintly amusing, but it's overshadowed by shows that aren't even comedies. It isn't that funny, and I don't get why everybody loves it. Maybe it's because everyone at my school is Mormon, and they're deprived of funny shows like Family Guy? I don't know. But the Office doesn't deserve the kind of praise it gets, in my opinion.
