7. “The Office” (2005 - present)
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant’s original British “Office” is one of the most critically lauded shows of all time, so when NBC announced plans to bring the show stateside in 2005 it was met with much trepidation. But thanks to a comically gifted ensemble cast and the will they/won’t they, heart-tugging courtship between Jim and Pam, it quickly became a consistent place to turn for guaranteed laughs week after week. Rarely has an entire show’s cast been so hilarious across the board, from the perfectly clueless Michael Scott (Steve Carell) to the brown-nosing, perpetually scheming Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) all the way down to the inane (and slightly disturbing) one-liners of creepy Creed (Creed Bratton). “The Office” continues to find a way to turn the awkwardness and monotony of your average, soul-sucking 9 to 5 job into comedy. — Christopher Locke
