Reruns Of The Office

The article written by Frances Blevins

Although The Office is still producing new episodes it is still possible to catch reruns on NBC and other channels that cable tv offers. I can never get enough of the day to day events of Dunder Mifflin, even though I have seen most of the episodes two or three times. It has almost become an addiction, where I have all the seasons on DVD but still find myself watching them all the time when they are on TV.

The Office is a made in the style of a mockumentary that follows the day to day happenings of the fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin. Set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the workers of Dunder Mifflin are well aware of the cameras that follow them around the office. Manager Michael Scott loves the extra attention that the camera's provide, often times pulling the cameras aside so that he can talk to them. Other members of the office are not as thrilled about the cameras, such as Angela the accountant, who would like nothing more than to get back to work.

As the show progressed, it broke free from the office setting and began to focus on stories that were happening outside of work. The first story of this sort was when Michael began to date his boss Jan. Although it didn't work out for Michael, it did provide viewers an opportunity to look into Michael's condo for the first time. Another important storyline that happened both inside the office and outside was the marriage of Jim Halpert, and receptionist Pam Beesly. The show can often be found later at night, and is a great show to start watching if you have never seen it.
