If you’re an avid watcher of TV shows, it’s likely that you have at least heard about the situational comedy (or simply put, sitcom) called The Office. Here, we’re talking about the American version of the show, the one that started airing in 2005, not the original British one (which isn’t terrible either, just not as popular).
According to Rolling Stone, the American version ranks at 23 out of the best sitcoms of all time (the British one is at 30th). So, it’s clear that the TV show is beloved both by critics and the public. There are a few causes for it.
One of the biggest reasons is that, despite it being a situational comedy, it doesn’t shy away from bringing drama, which resonates with the fans. Basically, it provided the laughs, provided the heartbreak — everything a person could want out of a show. These moments were built up and paid off extremely well, not leaving folks disappointed and leaving a mark in television history.
Besides that, fans say cast members had amazing chemistry together. On screen, they looked nice in pairs, in small to large groups — no matter how they were placed, it worked. It’s a well-known fact that good chemistry is an important “ingredient” in actors being able to create plausible and compelling performances.
There are a lot of other reasons why this TV show resonated so well with the audiences, from hilarious running gags that kept people invested and amused at the same time to the way writers mastered cringe comedy.
Here, this Reddit thread, where someone asked sitcom fans why the show is so beloved, adds even more examples to the ones we already mentioned. For example, for many people, what they liked the most about it was the fact that the humor in it was so relatable.
Many people were able to understand things that were shown on a screen through a prism of their experiences, especially those who had worked in a similar setting or with similar people.
Other people valued the rewatchability this show has or simply praised the actors for doing such a great job with their characters, especially Steve Carell, who was dubbed a “comedic genius” by some.
Well, no matter what the reason is behind it, the fact stands that people love this TV show. In fact, they love it so much that online, you can find plenty of pages dedicated to it — from simple fansites to meme pages.
