The Office (NBC, Syndicated)

This is one of those times where the plot is character driven. The characters were so well designed, keeping the viewer eager for more! With each of them having their own personality, they have all the basics, skills, and potential to have a great show. Thumbs up for The Office!

The Office is probably one of the cleanest shows on primetime television out there. As a Christian I usually don't watch anything off color, and the Office wasn't bad. To start "good role models"- Jim and Pam (main characters) are a pretty good role model. Although, she did have a baby out of wedlock and he might not try as hard as he could, they are the most normal and sensible of the show. Sexuality- All talk. There has never been a sex scene in the history of the show other than hinted at. And that right there is a big deal or tv. Language- So far I don't see that much curse words as I do offensive jokes about race and background. Product Placement- The show is set in a "normal office" so obviously it's going to use product placement. Everything in the show is something you would find in everyday life (which make sense because it's a documentary) and who really cares about product placement? Drinking/Drugs- This might be the worst. They have frequent parties and usually have alcohol. One of the members is an alcoholic. Also, another character was on drugs, and there is a whole episode focused on a joint found in the parking lot. Overall, this is a great show (my favorite) and I think it's hilarious. While I rated with a 13, I did so because they might not understand the subtle humor of the show becuase it does not use a laughtrack. We will miss you Michael Scott! TV legend!

What are you talking about? This show is great!

The Office is a 30 minute sitcom about the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. It is extremely funny, and it lives up to the hype.

I know I shouldn't let my preteen boys watch this show. and in general I am more strict than most parents I know, but this show is so funny and I know that they hear and see worse at school and friends houses. So we laugh so hard and actually have quite a few conversations about the things that happen in the show. I would not recommend to any children, but it is so funny to watch all of the what not to do situations.

I LOVE THE OFFICE

Clever, witty, insightful show. However, nearly all of the characters have serious flaws either socially, intellectually, or emotionally and thus are not very good role models. The main character in particular says and does very offensive things nearly every show. Children 14 and above may be able to understand that much of the show is not to be taken seriously but below that, because of the dry sense of humour, children may take much of the show's sarcastic remarks literally.

This is my favorite show in TV to date! I love it!!! there is some inappropriate stuff in it. Micheal, the main character, is socially inept, and makes sex jokes a lot! like "that's what she said". one character gets drunk every 5 episodes or so, and there are several racial jokes about Stanly-who's black. But all in all, this show is on top! That's what she said.
