Trivia:

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: Although the show is set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, every episode set outside during the winter features an unrealistically warm climate. Although characters always wear overcoats and pretend to shiver, numerous things reveal the actual California filming location. Some of these include: no visible breath, no snow, full lawns and trees covered with green leaves.

Quotes:

Dwight Schrute: Otherwise it's just malfeasance for malfeasance's sake.

This show is crappy!

Wow, this show is special. I've never watched it and happened to turn it on tonight because of lack of anything better. I thought maybe it was just the way the episode was for the night, but no. I am told that the show is always like this. It is annoying and stupid!!! And the fact that it has been out since 2005 and no one I know has ever talked about it says something to me. Don't get me wrong, there were a few slightly humorous parts but they were strongly out-numbered by me going, "what the hell is this crap? Who would watch this?" But hey, whatever. Enjoy your boring office show. When I see this show again, I will quickly go past and roll my eyes at the fact that I actually wasted 20 minutes of my time trying to find some good in it.
