In this episode we discuss the seminal 2001 comedy " The Office", created by the now world renowned Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant. The Office while not universally loved, was an instant classic and ubiquitous almost to a fault from its inception. The commitment to detail and insistence of its creators to have full control, lead to a show that appeared as instantly fully formed as anything we've previously discussed. The blend of reality, relatability and comedy seems perfectly woven into the sometimes unbelievable characters and their often despicable actions.
The shows popularity and impact on comedy are often very highly stated, we try to pull this back down to earth and provide context into the world that The Office entered, discussing some of its predecessors and hopefully heaping deserved praise and fair judgement in our usual fashion.
