We kick off our tour through 2001 with a show that premiered and really changed TV: The Office (UK Version). The mockumentary, no laugh track style that is very common today was used expertly in this series. In our discussion, we try to answer some burning questions. How did David Brent ever get his job in the first place? Is there no such thing in England as HR or sexual harassment? What are some of the big differences between the UK version and the American version? We may not have all the answers, but we definitely theorize.
Upon completing that portion of the show, we discuss our other favorite workplace comedies (TV and film). Depending on how you define a workplace comedy, this list can be quite broad. We also finish the episode with our favorite music of 2001. Because why not? It's always a good time to discuss music.
