It was cute; I like Amy Poehler, but it was exactly like The Office with different people.  Actually, it even has Karen from The Office in it.  They have the same "documentary" style, with a camera following people around and interviewing them.  It's a disfunctional government office with a goofy, nieve(?), bumbling main female character instead of a paper company office with a main male character.

I like the changes The Office is taking, however.  Shaking things up a lot with the "Michael Scott Paper Company."  And Ryan's blonde hair!

Well the show was created and directed by Michael Schur and I think Greg Daniels, two guys who write and direct The Office.  Eh, I thought it was alright.  I didn't really laugh that much and honestly I don't think the show will be around much longer.

On the plus side, I also love what the office is doing.  It would be so funny if Micheal got all the office workers back and they worked for him and not Dunder-Mifflin.

By the way, check out nbc.com/the_office and sign up to work for DMI.  It is a ton of fun, free, with cool challenges and awesome people.  I am part of the Springfield, MO branch and we would totally love to have more awesome people on our team!  Check it out :)  If you really like The Office, it is a must!

I didn't hate it, but it was laugh out loud funny.  But the first few episodes of The Office were like that.  It's something I think I could grow to enjoy.

It was...O..K...  Just looks like a female Michael in a different setting.  But I didn't hate it.

I only saw maybe 3 minutes of it, but I didnt like the looks of it.

One of the reasons I find the office so funny is because it's different.  Parks and Recreations just seems like it's jocking the office and taking away it's uniqueness.  I know-just my opinion.

I thought I would like it-I'm going to watch it when I'm in a really good mood-so that doesn't affect me liking it.

I know! I seen the previews with Ryan and his blonde hair and just thought "Hole-y shit!"

I loved it!!! Amy Poehler was like a female Steve Carrell. Completely delirious and self involved! I loved it!

I have to say this show is growing on me!  It's definitely not as funny as The Office, but it has potential!  I hope it sticks around for a little longer to see if it keeps getting better!  We will see.
