I'll be generous and say the first 5 seasons on average were pretty good.

Anything beyond that is pure, utter dogshit. I have never seen a character I despised as much as Andy, and if I ever see Ed Helms in real life I'd probably kill him with a brick.

Also pretty disappointed that the finale wasn't the Jim/Pam murder-suicide they had so clearly been building to.

It was "ok". The show had mildly entertaining characters, some episodes were pretty good but most of it just felt forced. Most women probably watched it as a romcom for Pam and Jim. Once Carrell left it pretty much nose dived.

Parks and Rec was a way better version of the workplace mockumentary in every way.

How was it better? It's the same shit and leslie/ben more forced relationship

It's OK

It's nothing compared to Larry Sanders Show, Arrested Development or even 30 Rock for that matter

I generally disliked The Office. It small doses it can be funny, but for the most part every character is unlikeable, and too much of the humor is about cringey social situations (emphasised by the shitty faux-documentary camera style).

It's not even ridiculous cringe humor by someone being stuffy and pretentious making misconceptions, like Frasier, or cringe comedy from someone being so out-there they have no idea they are doing that (Mork & Mindy, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The Neighbors, etc.), it's just normal boring realistic-yet-unlikeable office dipshits.

Andy had potential but they ruined his character when he had to leave to make hangover 4 or whatever
>>
the show and the characters became so over the top and ridiculous beginning in season 5

>Parks and Rec
Utterly unwatchable ever since this subhuman was introduced and occupied intolerable amounts of screentime

And I had only just come to terms with that unfunny turkroach

The finale was pretty good. Not worth sitting through all the episodes after Micheal left though.

I mean that's your opinion but Ben was way better than Jim as a character, and the Leslie romance at least made sense.

>back story about running a town into the ground because he was elected literally as a kid
>forced out and basically made fun of
>continued his service in local government anyways because he was passionate
>joined up with Chris as buddies
>happened to come to Pawnee where he meets Leslie
>falls in love with the town and Leslie

And he has a great, likable personality of being dorky but pretty fun and he's the only one who actually liked Larry/Gerry/Terry and wasn't a total dick to him
