That's What She Said

If you couldn't tell from the title, I am a big The Office fan. It is unlike most other shows in the way it's filmed and edited, so that it looks more like a documentary, rather than a staged and scripted show. The scenarios become more random with every episode and unproductiveness of the office only adds to it's amusement. The scenarios become more random with every episode and the unproductiveness of the office only adds to its amusement. Another part of the show that you don’t find much anymore is its political correctness, or lack thereof. Michael Scott tells it like it is and doesn’t see any harm in that, no matter how awkward or rude his statement was. Other than The Office, I really don’t watch much TV. I think that most sitcoms are unoriginal and boring. How they were produced in the first place is a mystery to me. Reality TV is an entirely different topic. The starts of reality shows seem to be moral-less, partying slobs who didn’t earn their new-found fame for anything noteworthy other than being just that. Oddly, this is what entertains most young people today. But I’ll admit that once in a while curling up on the couch and watching Real Housewives or The Hills (when it was still on) could keep me entertained for quite some time. Lastly, I think TV is fine in moderation. There is no harm in have a few faorite shows that air once a week that can offer a brainless distraction for an hour or so, but when it starts to replace more important things is when it becomes a problem.
