The Office has Jumped the Shark
One of three TV shows I have my Tivo set to tape is the Office which is the American Spin off of the BBC mocumentary/reality show from a few years ago. The show got off to a very lame start when they simply recycled the BBC scripts but came in to its own late last year with new and original writing. One of the things that I’ve enjoyed so much about the show is the way the sceens are shot. All camera angles keep very close to the “look and feel” of a reality show. Usually one camera very jery movements and very few close ups. Tonight’s episode tossed all that away. Dual camera closeup shots, and worst of all one of the main characters who had this tention for another exposed, pretty much pulling a Northern Exposure. The date June 10th has been set for a wedding and I suspect that that date is one week after the final show.
