How I Got Hooked:
On a summer day when it was too hot to go outside, I stumbled upon an episode. Dwight was complaining that Jim had put his office supplies in Jell-O. The mock-umentary style and one liners from Michael Scott were like a one-two punch I couldn't turn away from.
Best Episode
"Product Recall," which is episode 21 of season 3. Jim and Dwight come to work dressed as each other, impersonating each other. It's everything.
Why You'll Love It:
It's got everything you want from a story line. It's got a few love stories going on (the Jim and Pam saga in particular will make you melt). It's the only show I've seen depict the humor and frustrations of generic office life. And, if you're into "That's what she said" jokes, you won't be disappointed.
