The Office

One of my favorite TV shows of all time is definitely The Office. My reasons for liking it are not just because of the hilarious one liners or the awkward events that many of the characters go through. I also find the way that the office is shot to be fascinating. The Office is shot like a documentary which is very interesting and unusual for a fictional show. Because it is shot like a documentary, the audience gets that feel that the show is more realistic. However, the irony in that is that the show tends to be unrealistic in its plot. I'm pretty sure that if Michael Scott was your boss, that he wouldn't be your boss for very long, or he wouldn't have lasted 6 seasons. Another great thing about shooting the show in documentary style is that even though the audience sees how ridiculous it can be around the office, we see that not all the characters feel as though everything is okay. The way that we know this is through the interviews that interject in the middle of a scene to give commentary on what is actually going on. Through these interviews, the employees real feeling about certain situations are shown, many times disagreeing with what is going on the a particular situation. So, if you haven't seen the office yet, you should. And if you have, I commend your excellent taste. :)
