i think many people that see this do not realize be that much of the dialog be not script . the actor be give information about what there character be like and they themselves create the scene . i place this on the same level of comic genius a who line be it anyway . this type of comedy be not for everyone and that be why some people feel this come off a quirky . i have to be honest and say i have never see the office so i can not comment on any of the comparison . i be happy that this series have be pick up for another season ( 3 ) . i do have to admit that i could not see this run on one of the major network and but tb be a great place for it . i would like to see about five or six season then have a make for tv movie type conclusion .
