I would have never thought that I’d watch a series about everyday work lives of office employees for a paper company.
I’ve watched the series multiple times and I still don’t get tired of it.
The mockumentary sitcom aired between March 24, 2005 to May 15, 2013 - a grand total of 201 episodes across 9 seasons. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 8 years since the last episode aired.
From goofy characters to shady ones, from couple dramas to hilarious pranks,
From office politics to emotional heartbreaking moments, this series has everything.
Few Fun Facts about ‘The Office’ -
John Krasinski filmed the opening shots of the video that plays at the start of every episode. He shot them on his trip to Scranton with friends after he found out that he was casted as Jim Halpert.
Creed Bratton was a member of the 1960s band - The Grassroots. In 2011, Leslie David Baker who plays Stanley Hudson, released a song called ‘ 2 Be Simple’.
'Parks & Recreation' was almost an Office spinoff but was later decided to be kept independent. A couple of characters who auditioned for 'The Office' like Amy Poehler and Adam Scott ended up with lead roles at P&R.
Some of the actors were writers for the show - Mindy Kaling, BJ Novak and Paul Lieberstein. Steve Carell, Jenna Fischer, Rainn Wilson and John Krasinki have also written and directed episodes.
Angela and Pam (Angela Kinsey & Jenna Fischer) are frenemies in the series but are the best of friends in real life. They now host a podcast together called ‘Office Ladies’ in which they rewatch an episode of the show and offer behind-the-scenes commentary and respond to fan questions.
Here’s my piano rendition of ‘The Office’ Theme song. I hope you like it.
