Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: Although the show is set in Scranton, Pennsylvania, every episode set outside during the winter features an unrealistically warm climate. Although characters always wear overcoats and pretend to shiver, numerous things reveal the actual California filming location. Some of these include: no visible breath, no snow, full lawns and trees covered with green leaves. more
Quotes:
Dwight Schrute: I come from a long line of fighters, my maternal grandfather was the toughest guy I ever knew. World War II veteran. He killed twenty men and then spent the rest of the war in an Allied prison camp... My father battled blood pressure and obesity all his life... different kind of fight. more

A little dry..., 24 March 2005
4/10
Author: whatsgoingdown from Canada

I watched Apprentice and then this came on. It sounded like it was going to be amazing, but I must say I was left disappointed. I didn't find the main dude very interesting or funny. Just seemed like cheesy humor. I also found the humor a little dry and boring. Maybe if I had an office job I would enjoy the humor, but I just found it kind of boring and unengaged. I know its obvious I'm stretching for ten lines, but in all honesty, I don't really have much more to say than what I've already said. I give it 4/10 overall...Any other opinions? I realize I don't always seem to go with the flow, but hey thats whats great about discussion. -WhatsGoingDown
