Grade: A | Genre: Comedy Series Summary: The bad news is "The Office's" dry wit might have a hard time finding an audience in mainstream America. It's more for fans of shows like "Scrubs" where the humor isn't so obvious. The good news is that, the show will be moved right after "Scrubs" on Tuesday nights where there already is a built-in audience.

Though we've briefly discussed how American Television continues to endure a creative funk in favor of the ever-increasing output of Reality shows, we've also stated that borrowing from the Brits has been an easy way to buy more time until the next big breakthrough.

The latest reaffirming evidence proving us right is the Americanization of the British hit, "The Office." It would have been very easy to dismiss this new NBC series as a copycat sure to suffer the same fate as the most recent Brit to American failure, "Coupling." However, "The Office" is special. For anyone who's ever worked in an office environment, this docu-reality-parody show is for you.

The premiere episode, which aired last Thursday, gave us a taste of what we can expect from future episodes. It was a successful attempt to take the most trivial aspects of everyday office politics and wrap them in a cold blanket of sarcastically dry humor. It plays like a documentary showcasing a common office environment and all those under its executive ceiling.

The offices of Dunder Mifflin Paper Supply are supervised by Regional Manager, Michael Scott (Carell), a hypocritical and self-righteous department head who boasts about his managerial techniques while faking friendships knowing full well that he can/will fire someone in a split second. Not only is Scott proud of himself, but he also bought a mug that spells it out, "The World's Best Boss." His is the portrait on our dartboards and gives us a face we love to hate.

From the lowly receptionist to the eager temp, "The Office" is full of characters you're sure to identify with. It's a show that will have you exclaiming, "That's how my office is!"

The bad news is "The Office's" dry wit might have a hard time finding an audience in mainstream America. It's more for fans of shows like "Scrubs" where the humor isn't so obvious. The good news is that the show will be moved right after "Scrubs" on Tuesday nights where there already is a built-in audience. This is a show with a lot of potential that could go beyond office workers. It's a satirical look at the 9-5 mid-level workforce where anything goes. Can't wait for the next episode!
