Was looking around and I noticed some discussion of the NBC version of "the Office," and correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no thread for the original! This has quickly become my favourite show and everyone I've shown it to has whizzed themselves laughing, so even though it's been over for awhile, let's start a thread for the original and greatest version of "the Office"

A few questions to kick off the discussion:

-The inevitable question: What is your favourite episode/part/character?

-Do you think that it resonates with anyone? Or do you have to have some experience working in the office environment to fully appreciate the jokes?

-I wonder what "strokes of genius" others notice in the show. For example, I feel there is a cohesive sense of composition in the two season run, when I see the scenes with Keith in the lunch room (Scotch Egg scenes), first with Tim near the beginning of the 1st series, then with Dawn later on, then finally coming full circle at the end, once again with Tim when he reveals his secret to wooing the ladies.

I know that I've painted myself as the ultimate fanboy, so please make me look better by chiming in!
