1. I love it. I don't know anyone else who doesn't. But there must be a few.

3. Yeah, that's how I feel.
Lost in a sea of nothingness.

2. Did you ever actually work in an office?
The movie is GREAT! I finally saw it recently. And I truly think I have worked with each and every kind of personality depicted in that flick. Sorry you didn't like it.

No, no, no. I love Office Space. The Office (TV show) is what I don't like.
Sorry for the confusion!

18. Oh, I didn't even know there was a TV show...
I really don't like TV much. Except some Discover channel shows I seem to be hooked on now. Sorry.

11. No ...

As has already been said, the British version was funny, to me.

I'm not a fan of the American version. I've watched it a few times, tried to like it, and just end up dozing off or doing something else.

Though it seems more miss for me.

12. I never used to watch The Office, but I started watching earlier this year.
Now I'm kind of hooked. I have to go back and watch the earlier seasons, though.

19. Indeed they are!
I've been watching those pretty frequently. I still may rent the first couple of seasons to catch up fully.

21. No, but.....
....I do enjoy it a lot. I actually think all humor aside, Steve Carrell does a great job in just creating a character in Michael Scott. He's the kind of guy all indications would lead you to detest, but there's something about him that you have to root for anyways.

That being said, different strokes for different folks. I never got into 30 Rock, but a lot of people like that show.

24. It gives me the creeps-- I have to be in the right...
mood to appreciate it.

Having said that, it's brilliant in its own perverted way. Maybe that's why it gives me the creeps-- the producer once said "If you don't know a Michael Scott, you ARE a Michael Scott."

25. No indeed though I admit I've seen only a few episodes.
I also despise The Simpsons and what's that other miserable animated series...? South Park, oh yeah. So you aren't so total a loser as I am. :P
