The Office and Parks and Rec

[lizziegrace]

These shows annoy me to no end. I've watched several times and I've tried to like them, but I just don't. I don't get the appeal. :shrug:

1. They aren't for everyone. My mom is a HUGE "The Office" fan.

I watch it from time to time but just don't feel the same as she does about it.

[lizziegrace]

2. I thought there was something wrong with me

;)


Hug that beautiful little girl for me. :hug:

[Shell Beau]

3. Of course! She said to hug you back because you are too sweet!

I swear she said it. I've been begging her to say ma-ma and she comes out with that!! ;)

[lizziegrace]

6. Hehe...

:hug:

She's such a cutie, like her mama.

4. I like both of them, but I'm weird.

5. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Everyone I work with plus my husband and children love The Office. I've watched a few times but I'm just not feelin' it.

[lizziegrace]

8. Whew

:hi:

It just annoys me to no end. I just want to smack some of the characters. I don't find it funny at all... x(

[bluethruandthru]

9. I think the older I get

the more annoying I find most sitcoms. I might worry that I'm losing my sense of humor...but I know that can't be...because I think I'm hilarious! :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

10. I think I'm hilarious too

:rofl:

I agree with you. ;)

7. I love The Office, however I think it's not as good as it used to be.

11. I used to enjoy The Office. Now, I find it a downer.

It is hardly ever funny anymore. In fact, I find it kind of depressing.
Nothing EVER works out for Michael. Ryan is a prick, I hate him, and it annoys me that
Michaels tongues his butt. I hate the new guy that is in Michael's position. Why is he so mean to Jim??

Is it just me?

[elshiva]

13. "Michaels tongues his butt?"

What do you mean by that?
:shrug:

12. My brother convinced me to start watching The Office....I became hooked on it

and there are plenty of shows I just will not watch...this one just cracks me up. Scary thing is, most of this shit actually goes on in my workplace, only the boss isn't Steve Carell (sp) but a scary-looking 70 year old woman who chain-smokes and runs around the building getting on the intercom and screaming for people to "Call her wherever she is"!!!!

[madeline_con]

17. LOL

Are they supposed to guess which number to call to be within earshot?
:rofl:

[TK421]

18. No joke...she actually did an all-page one day and shouted " persons name....

call me at...oh, where the fuck am I...call me where I'm at"!!!!!!! NO JOKE! Tell me about it...the inmates run the asylum here....

[VenusRising]

14. I've never seen either show nor had the desire.

At least you tried. ;)

[Zavulon]

15. The Brit version of The Office is pretty good. Our version blows goat.

Steve Carrell couldn't make me laugh with a vat of laughing gas, a jar of tickle powder and a feather.

[Hayabusa]

16. Love the Office

Parks and Rec is kinda meh to me, though. Okay, but not great.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. I've started watching The Office.

I love it, and 30 Rock, too, partly because of the anti-sitcom feel of them. I think the last laugh-track sitcom I really liked was Seinfeld.

:hi:

[Catshrink]

20. I don't watch much entertainment TV but I sure miss Arrested Development.

That was such a great show. Have they started filming the movie?

[LoveMyCali]

21. I hated the Office the first time I watched it

then I tried another time and still didn't get it, ended up watching it at a friend's house a couple of years later and thought that episode was funny so I watched a couple of episodes on Hulu and thought they were funny. Now all of the sudden I'm obsessed with it, I watched all the first four seasons on Netflix and watch the new episode every week. I have no idea what finally clicked with me, I usually won't give a show more than two chances, life is too short to have to get used to a TV show.

[Gormy Cuss]

22. Raises hand to join lizzegrace's side of the opinion.

I've never been hooked by The Office and since Parks & Rec has been compared to it in most reviews I'm unlikely to start watching that one either.

[Kat45]

23. I never found the Office the least bit funny.

I actually found it quite annoying. I've been trying Parks & Recreation and I'm not into that either.
