Oh and you're slothfully not hard enough to penetrate comedy?
Nay, actually provide even a small insight into why a peculiar amount of human beings find this show as any form of viable entertainment?
Nay, dote upon it?
Nor shall you actually answer, nor defend any valid ideation or question.. unless your incredibly brief rebuttal is an actual parody of the boringness (which was clearly amiss) amongst the brevity of the duration of said series. -

Fawlty Towers
, widely regarded as the most successful comedy ever produced - two seasons. (And inspired another American imitation.)
The subjective appreciation of comedy is like the subjective appreciation of music. The Beatles are without a doubt the most successful pop group in the history of pop music, with achievements that are unlikely to be surpassed. Nevertheless, you find the occasional person who doesn't think the band were all that good.

I couldn't find anything to back the Fawlty Towers statement, I guess I'll give it a go and see what you're talking about. Always interested in more comedy.
Nobody can deny that The Beatles weren't a revolutionary band, even if they don't enjoy.
Heck in Chile they play midi and instrumental versions of their tunes from radios in the cabs to fine dining restaurants, seems they still have a lot of Beatle mania going on. I almost got tired of it while visiting but not quite cause they're great.
I get that comedy and all opinions are subjective but there is so much subject matter out there, I just can't believe this show couldn't make me laugh even once.
Just to mention Ricky Gervais has been funny in quite a few things but, yikes! -

No they dont, this doesnt mean it wasnt funny or wasnt highly rated.
The fact tv series run forever in the usa (PLEASE NOTE THESE EXACT SAME SERIES DONT RUN ON AND ON IN OTHER COUNTRIES) doesnt say anything about the show but the people who watch them.
completely unrealistic at least there was comedic relief and attempts at emotional depth involved for the sake of entertainment.
WOW and WOW
First off saying the usa version was more realistic than the uk version LOL
UK versions got feeling due to it being realistic.
usa version is just low quality monty python and 1930s slap stick.
usa show has characters and personalities? LOL -

"They don't just cut it at 2 seasons without a reason to cancel."
The decision to run The Office for 2 seasons + a Christmas special was made by it's creators, no one else, because they (Gervais and Merchant) had no desire to run the idea into the ground. I've no doubt that if they had gone for a third, fourth, even fifth series, the BBC, or any other channel would have commissioned it. It would have been commissioned until it got stale and boring, and no one was watching, exactly what it's creators were trying to avoid. Note that the also popular and successful Extras also had a run of two series plus special, as did Derek. -

I don't necessarily agree with the original comment, not at all, though, to some extent, I find myself in general sympathy about any office environment. I feel the same, very much so. Could I work in an office again? Don't know.
