It pains me to bring this up, but unfortunately I’ve wanted to make a clear distinction between the two shows for a very long time. I’m an original addict of The Office, starting years ago before it got mainstream appeal and before they moved to a soundstage. That’s just a sidenote.
I’ve really got nothing to say on this besides the fact that The Office has settled into a few seasons of complacency. Arrested Development may have been cancelled after 3 seasons but at least they were the best seasons they could have pumped out. I could watch episodes for around 5 straight hours without regrets.
The Office is still great, either way. I just wanted to make it clear which one I thought was better. (If all of the Arrested Development stuff on here wasn’t clear enough…)
