    Do we have any fans of The Office here? I'm pretty sure Chris is, judging by his avatar. :D

    I never really was into the show. It always seemed weird to me, because the way it is filmed; the movements of the camera and such are unnatural for a TV show like anything I've ever seen. It's filmed more like a reality TV show than a sitcom.

    But over the past couple of years, particularly in recent months, I've found myself watching it and enjoying it. It's really a hilarious show with sarcastic humor, which I love.

    I've created a fan club for my fellow The Office addicts: http://www.adminaddict.net/forum/groups/office-addicts/

    Oh my... I love it. I wish I could express that to an even greater extent, but I'm somewhat limited by vBulletin's editor. :D

    I have each and every season on DVD, Blu-Ray, and also in my iTunes library. I watch at least one episode per day and have thrown around the idea of creating a community based around the premise of the show. Perhaps I'll give it a go.

    I'm not a huge fan of the show, but I'm a fan of Steve Carell, the guy that plays Michael. However, I watch the show here and there, and it's okay. Nothing to be crazy about.

    For those who have been following this season (and are aware of their upcoming buyout), check this out: :)

    Sabre Corp

    I know that Dunder-Mifflin is a fictional company, but is Sabre-Corp? I assume so.

    Yes, Sabre-Corp is the fictional corporation that will be buying out Dunder-Mifflin (shortly after they declared bankruptcy). The CEO will be played by Kathy Bates (Failure to Launch, Revolutionary Road, ...). :)

    I like the office, when I can catch it on tv, and have some spare time I'll watch it.

    One show I liked, the office manger (dont remember his name) showed up like 2 hours early for a party. The lady throwing the party was in the shower, was not dressed yet,,, the potato salad the guy brought had been left in the car all day - in the hot sun!!!!

    "Actually, it's polite to arrive early. And smart. Only really good friends show up early."

    :p

    The show puts me to sleep, even the UK version. It's like 24, Jack Bauer does the same things every single episode. *yawn*
